Burp Contests

Ever have one?

EVER WIN ONE?

Up until I was about 17, burps were a non-entity to me. I did polite "frog burps[1]" and tried not to make a big deal about it. Despite being a rambunctious youth it was one of the few things I was gentleman about.

Then there was Danny's Pizza Party.

Let me preface that I love pizza. It's a great tasting food. I also like 7UP out of all sodas. Danny's party promised to have both. How could I refuse. I couldn't refuse. I'm not an idiot. So after a few rounds of GoldenEye64 and MarioKart64 (I win with Luigi every time, but that's a different story), the pizzas were served. Everyone was horking it down and burping without remorse. I was astounded. At first I thought "How Rude", but then I thought "I gotta get in on this".

And I did, and I let out a belch you wouldn't believe. It made my friend Roberto go "woah". Since that day I can't pass up a chance to burp a big one. I have made hundreds of friends and thousands of fans.

So why bring this up? Well unfortunately this week my friend Don (who was an attendant at this legendary Pizza Party) has been seriously sidelined from some gastro-intestinal pains. He might not make it through the week. His bitch[2] of a wife wouldn't let him burp EVEN ALONE IN HIS OWN house. So the old gang and I are starting a benefit burp contest to raise money Don's intestine surgery he probably needs.

If you are in the Springfield/Decatur area next week then please come on down and have a few laughs and burps with us for a good cause. For directions and more info on Don head over to http://www.donsederwoodburpsforbigbucksbenefit.com
