Birthday Dare 1: Cheesy

By Secondhand Karl on September 14th, 2009

Well, I don’t know that I’ll be able to get all the dares done this week. Hit a wall with some of the logistics, including a close friend being in the hospital. However, this one is finished. And I’m about to set off to complete a second dare’s filming.

I’ll keep you posted. In the meantime, here’s Dare 1. Enjoy.

Birthday Dares 2009 – Dare 1: Cheesy from Karl Erikson on Vimeo.

    Karl, I’m not sure I can watch you eat more than the one bite, so I’ll just LISTEN to the rest of the video. :D

    @Poppy, As you saw soon after, that wouldn’t really help.

    “A really squishy, NASTY corpse.”

    Hehehehe

    Ok, just listening is actually making it WORSE.

    I hope your friend is ok. I see your tweet about ICU.

    Oh my God. I’m shuddering. Oh God. Especially the part where you were talking about biting a rotted, bloated, up from the water corpes. I should have known better than to watch this as I sat down to dinner.

    My dad makes head cheese and has made me taste it. It’s AWFUL. I can’t believe you did this.

    As for the other four, we can wait if you can’t get to it right away. Your loved ones are WAY more important. Just promise you WILL get to them.

    I thought head cheese was brains?

    Damn.

    My entire life has been a lie.

    @Miss Britt, There are different varieties, if you can believe that shit.

    “My brother makes some reeeal good head cheese.”
    That was my favorite quote from Texas Chainsaw Massacre, which I watched a gajillion times in junior high!
    I cannot believe you ate that shit!
    I am so gonna hurl.
    GAH!!!!!

    Oh that is just a million ways wrong. *shudder* Your mom is funny–would definitely join her fan club. I hope for your sake this is the only edible dare–my stomach is turning on your behalf!

    Nothing personal, Karl, but the best part of this whole video is your mom saying “when was the last time you bit into a corpse?”

    I love your mom.

    Yes, she has a fan club. I want a T-shirt.

    You are, BTW, a far braver man than I. I can’t even stand the sight of head cheese. I’d never accept a dare to actually eat the shit.

    @kapgar, In comedy, anything goes.

    Well, almost anything.

    Thanks, my mom doesn’t get it. At all.

    You are very brave, though I do have 1 question. Is it worse then brussel sprouts?

    @Tracy, Far, FAR worse than brussel sprouts.

    Did you go puke that shit out right away? I would have had my fist down my throat pulling it out.

    LOVE YOUR MOM!

    You really should have a disclaimer on this one NOT to be eating while watching. Feel like I just ate corpse taters for breakfast.

    Secondhand Karl Reply:

    @Bubblewench, Didn’t puke it up, no. And I’m glad you enjoyed eating while watching. That’s kinda sick.

    The name for that sound is “squick”.

    So now you know.

    I’m sorry, but I’m LMAO here. My father used to eat head cheese (and like it) and it ALWAYS made me want to barf.

    And yes, we loves your mom!

    Shit, I’m old now, too. Makes sense.

    Bless your heart; no way I would eat that. Ever. Unless there was a large sum of money involved. Really large.

    BTW, you look good, kid.

  27. Jeff on September 21, 2009 10:24 am

    SO sorry I missed this on the actual release date. I’m running about a week behind on getting through all my feeds. But enough about that…

    All I can say about this is YOU ROCK!!! I never in a million years thought you’d actually go through with it, especially after taking one look at the package. That’s what intrigued me about head cheese all along – seeing those pig head parts all cut up and floating in that gelatin goo. I’ve always wondered what kind of person would actually eat it. Now I know ;-)

    Thanks for accepting my challenge. I know you don’t really hate me like you said. Ok, maybe you do, but it was worth it. Oh, and put me down as your mom’s newest fan club member. Where do I sign up? She’s awesome.

    Reply

    Secondhand Karl Reply:

    @Jeff, Heh, it’s nasty, nasty shit, head cheese. Don’t REALLY hate you.

    Much.

    Mom’s fan club is rather unofficial. Though I’m thinking of making t-shirts.

    Karl, you are the man… taking the dare what 90% of the population would not do. I see that nasty shit there at the deli when I’m getting my pastrami and roast beef and I think to myself, “Who the FUCK eats that?” and then I also think to myself, “If no one is eating/buying it, then do they do what Karl did and toss it in the trash?”

    Loved the part where your mom shakes the camera back and forth, giving her NO answer.

    Gaaahh!
    When I was a little kid, my grandfather used to eat head cheese.
    He always begged me to just TRY it, but even back then I knew that something was very wrong. :)

    Love how they call the gelatin “Aspic” to try and make it sound better.
    Actually it could probably be summed up pretty well by just the first syllable.

    @Janna, Truer words were never spoken.
