Business is picking up at Trilogy.

Last year, Jimmy Beard (formerly of a freshman captain at Whittier) and I went on a food challenge rampage. A few of the challenges were documented. In this case, we asked a young man to smash a popsicle inside of fifteen seconds. He happily obliged without the encouragement of a prize.

Yesterday, we asked a young man to finish two bananas in 30 seconds for a free beverage but he failed. This afternoon we upped the prize value and the duration in hopes that something amazing and mystery would occur. Two bananas in 45 seconds for my freshly dyed Professor. Several youngsters signed up for the opportunity to obtain eternal glory. One succeeded. As the camera pans left, pay attention to the young man in the reversible who is the eventual winner. Brilliant technique inspired by hot dog eating champions world wide.

There was a moment of panic when I realized I would be relinquishing a fresh dye job but joy replaced anxiety when a few other contestants looked like they were going to yack. (Don’t miss the gag at the 0:14 mark on the right part of the screen.) The campers never had a chance, but at least we know if they won’t be cramping in the afternoon and evening sessions. Enjoy that STX Professor young sir.
