$15 dare... The "Butt Cup"

I think I will forego the witty commentary on this one and just get to it. The dare was to spin 100 times in the "Butt Cup." Will J throw up? Does M have any sympathy for me after having to do the wasabi dare? Don't know what the "Butt Cup" is? Click on through for answers to all of these questions.


$15 for this dare. Thanks Mark, Holly, and Noah! We "enjoyed" your dare.

Tune in next time for sunscreen, naked backs, and uncomfortable interactions with strangers.

$20 dare - Eat a Ball of Wasabi

Has anyone noticed that M is the one that has been doing most of these dares? I'm not going to tell her and see if she notices.

Bruce, from Utah, offered M $20 if she would eat a marble-sized ball of wasabi. Did she do it? Yes! And with gusto! Watch the video to see the whole thing and click on to learn more about wasabi.
We get wasabi from the wasabi root which is in the same family as mustard and horseradish. Wasabi actually does its work more in the nasal passages than on the tongue. In fact, it has similar effects to smelling salts and has even been tested as a fire alarm for the deaf. The Japanese love it so much that they have to import some to supplement the amount they grow. Traditionally, the root is ground using a dried shark skin.

I hope our family and friends are enjoying this blog. It seems like a fun way to keep up with us. We don't use twitter even though tweets like, "just ate a ball of wasabi" and "just sent a slinky down the western hemisphere's longest escalator" would be fun to read.

Do you dare me to...

...eat a balut?  (look it up, it doesn't look too appetizing) 

...welcome a stranger home at the airport?

...play "whoever has a sticker under their chair wins a prize" game on the subway or other public place?

...show up at a mattress store in my pajamas and a teddy bear and take a nap?

...dress as Washington and welcome people to "my" monument?

How much are these worth seeing to you? Just more thoughts to start you thinking.
