Batboy Suspended

[ZMovieman]

Tonight's Sign of the Apocalypse: Rafael Palmeiro was suspended ten games for taking steriods while a Florida Marlins batboy was suspended for six games for accepting and failing a dare from the Los Angeles Dodgers to drink a gallon of milk in under an hour without throwing up.

 

Seriously, this is ridicious. Seems Brad Penny had some choice words for the Marlins too.

What exactly did he do wrong?

 

I guess you can't drink milk as a batboy.

 

Seriously.... the Marlins need to lighten up. The kid probably loves his job as batboy, he gets to hang out with major leaugers. And let's face it... we all know guys can do stupid stuff. This was kinda dumb, but not destructive or harmful. He was just being one of the guys.

[Mike Aller]

Haha, that is such a sweet bet. +5 respect points for Brad Penny.

 

Anyway, yeah, that is ridiculous. But I so could've done it.

[XZero771679666304]

I drank a gallon of milk in far less than an hour when I was 16 and working at a grocery store, and my boss didn't suspend me..... :-k

I'll bet you $200 that you can't. :wink:

 

This is ridiculous. He got a longer suspension for drinking milk than Farnsworth got for tackling Jeremy Affeldt.

[BleedCubbieBlue81]

If Penny is that upset about it, I wouldn't be surprised if he paid the kids salary for those 6 games. Or at least gives him the $500 he would've won from the bet. It only seems fair, you get a guy suspended when you're both goofing off, you cover for the other guy.

They got this idea from the reality show Inked. It's about a tattoo parlor in Las Vegas. The co-owner of the tattoo parlor. told one of the guy that worked there if he drank a gallon of milk in an hour. But he had to keep it down. If he did it he would give him a $1000. He did it in 10 minutes but threw up about 20 minutes later.

I don't know if they got the stunt from that show or not, but that milk-chugging contest has been around for quite a while I believe.

This thing is over 20 years old. It's an almost surefire bet to win for the person not drinking the milk.

There is some bet in which you wager that a person can't do 30 shots of beer in 30 minutes without throwing up.

 

While it sounds easy, there is something with the air you take in on the shots that makes it difficult. I've never tried it, but I watched my buddy try it (who was an accomplished college drinker at the time), and he threw up all over the place.

 

I think it was 30 minutes, but it may have been 20. Perhaps someone else knows for sure.

I once saw a competition where they had 5 guys trying it at once. I think 2 threw up, and 2 quit near the end after the winner finished his.

That can be done. Easily. Surely you've heard of Power Hour (60 shots in an hour) or Century Club (100 shots in 100 minutes).

Last year I did 142 shots of beer in 142 minutes before I threw up (17.75 cans of beer in 2 hours 22 minutes - we used real 1.5 ounce shotglasses, not the smaller cheap ones.) The only reason I threw up was because there was no where else for the beer to go. I was completely full. And later, I was almost completely blind.

 

The century club is 100 shots of beer in 100 minutes. Power hour is 60 shots. College kids have been doing it for years. It's a good cheap way to get hammered.

 

The milk thing has been around for a long time. It's almost a sure thing bet for everyone NOT to be able to do it. Drinking it in an hour is not a problem, but keeping it down is. Your body cannot process the lactose fast enough, so it expells it from your body. Doesn't matter how big you are, or how tough you think you are. I've seen tons of people try it, and not one has succeeded yet. That's why I posted that I'd bet Mike Aller that he couldn't do it. I could use the money. :D

DOH! Never heard of power hour, but am familiar with Century Club. We didn't use shot glasses, however. I hated Century Club. I'd much rather go the (beer) bong route.

 

Anyway, with that reminder, I think it was probably more likely the 20 minute time frame that made my friend blow. I'm impressed with anyone that can do multitudes of beer shots like you guys. That wasn't my bag.

Yeah, I don't consider myself a chugger either. I'm more of a power sipper. But once you get to about 40 shots, they start going down like water. And that's when things got ugly. Don't know why we busted out the video camera for that night, but it's definitely entertaining to watch.

 

8 or 9 of us starting out just wanting to do the century club on one of our last nights of college. When 6 guys got to 100, we decided to see who could last the longest. Only me and another guy made it past 120. He was 6'4", rougly 240 pounds. I'm 5'10", roughly 155 pounds. I got to 142, he made it to 150 and then gave up because he didn't want to keep going by himself. He was in the bathroom five minutes later, and he didn't come out until the next morning.

Used to do century club all the time, you put Dazed and Confused in the vcr and it runs right about 100 minutes.

after about 40, the minutes seem to get much, much faster. we were always like ' another shot already?? i swear we just did one!' also, 10 nights in a row of century club has been called the 'thousand points of light'. not good for your studies or general well-being.

 

i've seen many try the milk thing, and a few succeeded. as far as i can tell, you just have to have a huge stomach capacity. maybe some performance enhancing lactaid would be a good idea?

[badgercub]

I remember doing the century club (many years ago in college) We would make the 101st shot a shot of Tequila or Wid Turkey. Once, with the CD player on shuffle or random, as we took our 100th shot "This is the End" by the Doors was playing, how cool is that when you are drunk.

[Mizzou]

You guys are troopers. I've never been a big fan of power hour or century club. I'd much rather enjoy my beer than take it by the shot every minute. But if you're in the market for beligerance, then century club is a good call.

 

In response to the milk thing... give me some chocolate chip cookies and I'll drink as much milk as you can find.

Yeah, I usually like to enjoy my beer too. But this was one of the last nights of college, so it was basically, "get as drunk as you can as fast as you can". The people that weren't doing the century club were taking shots of hard liquor all night. After I puked, a couple of us went outside to have a home run derby in the park across the street. Only problem was, it was 11 at night, and the lights were off in the park. Thank God they were tennis balls, because the pitcher couldn't see the batter.

[ZMovieman]

Just an update on the batboy. Apparently he's got some people in his corner willing to pay for lost wages and there's a promotion at the Fort Meyers Miracle game. I'd say it was worth it!

I wouldn't donate a dime to the kid, regardless of the circumstances.

me and my friend tried to eat two bags of oreo's apiece. neither of us made it and we both threw up. You may think it looks easy, but it isnt.

I couldn't eat two bags of oreos, probably even one. And I love oreos.

 

But I have consumed a gallon of milk in less than an hour before, twice. I also ate 9 bratwursts loaded with sauerkraut in less than half an hour, though it incapacitated me for the better part of the day. But I did the milk thing, and it wasn't all that difficult.

[jam1975]

I also believe the a stipulation in the "drink a gallon of milk in an hour" is that it has to be whole milk. Anything less than whole milk can be done with little problem.
