Blog: "Eat Your Way Out of Something"
by Paul Jury

The other night, I became passionately excited about a conversation I was having with someone about what gigantic food would be the most fun to eat one's way out of. I don't remember with whom I was having this conversation, probably because I was so excited. I also don't remember why I was so excited. Probably because I was drunk.

Anyhow, the following is a list of the three giant foods I think it'd be most fun to eat my way out of. For sake of ground-rules, let's just say that I have a snorkel or some other way to breathe, and that going to the bathroom isn't an issue, and that I don't have anywhere to be for a couple days.

- An 8 foot by 8 foot by 8 foot cube of Hershey's chocolate - Clearly chocolate is on the list.
- A gigantic pineapple - Delicious AND nutritious!
- A 12-foot-tall marshmallow - Not only would it be good to eat, but I think I'd also have fun jumping around inside the marshmallow, like a giant moon bounce. Provide someone didn't put us in a 50-foot microwave.

As long as we're on the topic, here's a list of the three giant foods I think it'd be LEAST fun to eat my way out of. The restriction it has to be an actual food, which is why a twenty foot block of pencil eraser is not on the list.

- A 10 foot diameter brussel sprout - Goes without saying.
- A hamburger patty the size of a Hummer - Now, I'm as big a fan of meat as the next warm-blooded American, but this would just be too much meat. It would get cold after a couple hours, and for the first few? Do I need to say it? The burning, oh the burning.
- A 9 foot wide eggplant - I fucking hate eggplant.

Sam:  
You know what the Internet needs? More blogs.
Paul:  
I agree. But at least our blogs are sometimes about these sweet videos we're trying to share with the world.
Sam:  
Being a writer is fun. I wonder what we would've done if we were alive a century ago.
Paul:  
Maybe we would've created videos. Viral videos.
Sam:  
I think we would've been more worried about real viruses. Like whooping cough or consumption.
Paul:  
Was that still around in 1907? I only know it from Oregon Trail.
Sam:  
I only know about Oregon Trail from when I got bored with Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego. The game, not the television show with Rockapella.
Paul:  
Those guys were hilarious. Definitely TiVo-worthy.
Sam:  
I have more mp3s of a capella music than I should really should admit.
Paul:  
Are you going to throw those on your iPhone? Or iPod? Or Microsoft Zune?
Sam:  
No, I already packed those with the funniest videos we've made. In case I ever bump into Steven Spielberg or Matt Groening or Jessica Alba on the street, I can show them the hilarity.
Paul:  
Jessica Alba wouldn't be interested in our efforts to go viral.
Sam:  
She would if that virus was consumption.
