DEC 31 2010 NEW YEARS EVE DINNER - CHINESE- CRAIG DOES OCTOPUSS (VIDEO INCLUDED!)

as a family we decided to go out to eat Chinese, at one of our favorite Chinese places, ALLLLLLL the WAYYYYY ACROSS TOWN...

while we were there, i showed daniel the huge bowl of baby octopi and challenged him to eat one. he said hed do it if we paid him 20 bucks, i agreed. i mean, youd have to pay me MORE cash than that to put one of those in my mouth eat it and completely swallow that thing, so 20 bucks..well, it seemed pretty cheap.

so, i scoop one up (tried to find a big one, too! lol) and brought it to the table in the cup i held it in.



daniel said he wouldnt do it (eat the octopus) if i took pictures OR filmed it, and the whole reason was to get it on film...so, there it sat, in all its pure nastiness, (sorry, but i really think its quite gross.)
and i suggested craig eat it (no money for it, tho) and he agreed.

WARNING: IF YOU ARE GROSSED OUT BY PEOPLE EATING OCTOPUS, I DO NOT RECOMMEND CLICKING THE 'VIDEO PLAY; BUTTON!



he survived. not sure how. but he did. and i have it all on film. (EWW!)

i also decided to show the world (not that i do it in secret, i dont) that im serious when i say i eat with chopsticks...video of that as well:



all in all NEW YEARS EVE was, well...pretty normal around my home, lol

hope yours was as adventure some!
