I doubt I'd get this much fame

It seems like the drinking a gallon of milk in an hour challenge is everywhere now.  In case you missed it, former Marlins pitcher, Brad Penny, bet a Marlins’ batboy $500 that he couldn’t drink a gallon of milk in an hour.  The batboy didn’t throw up, but didn’t finish the whole gallon in the hour’s time.  The Marlins organization frowned on this contest and suspended the batboy for six games.  Now the batboy is getting offers from the milk council and other baseball teams.  You can read the full article here.

Bigshow is trying to get me to do this challenge with him next week.  I still think I can do this with a gallon of skim milk, but I just don’t want to do it as part of the event we’re having.  I drink a lot of milk.  Holly and I go through at least four gallons a week.  I’ve had a steak and potato dinner before and drank close to half a gallon of milk with it.  I don’t see drinking a full gallon as being that difficult, but we’ll find out.  Don’t worry Bigshow, I WILL do this challenge, just not next Wednesday.

How do you think my milk challenge will end?
Successfully drink a gallon in less than an hour and keep it down.
Keep it down, but not finish in an hour.
Blow chunks before the hour's up.
End up never doing it.

my vote is the "End up never doing it" - don't wuss out on me.

Real men drink 2% anyways. Skim will be a cake walk as it's only water.

Unless it was specified before the bet was made, it should be perfectly legal to drink skim.
But that's the wussy way to go.

My vote wasn't listed.
I vote that you'll drink the entire gallon in less than 1 hour, but then puke before the hour is up.

Some kid on one of those new reality shows about tatoo parlors on TLC or something tried. He drank the entire gallon in 10 minutes, but tossed his cookies n' milk within 45 minutes.
My old roommate tried for $5 and only drank about 3/4 and puked in 45 minutes. And he drank a shit load of milk as well.

I'll send you the picture, which you may want to post on your site.
