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.
The first of Karl’s 2009 Birthday Dares.

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.

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

You are a much bigger person than I. OMG. There is no effin’ way I would eat that. I gagged just watching you.

“A really squishy, NASTY corpse.”

Ok, just listening is actually making it WORSE.
I hope your friend is ok. I see your tweet about ICU.

@Poppy, Thanks, long story. She’s out of the woods.

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.

@nakedjen, Why does it have to be either/or? I think both.

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.

They add the red pepper for real flavorings and vitamins. Mmmmmm

“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!

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!

@Heather, This is the only food dare. I will say that much.
Reply
Eeeeewwwwwwww.
And that’s all I’ve got to say about that.
You’re a braver biped than I, hon. Much braver.

@Coal Miner’s Granddaughter, When you say “braver,” you mean “more retarded,” right?
Reply
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?
Reply
September 15th, 2009 at 3:00 am
@Tracy, Far, FAR worse than brussel sprouts.

I think I got swine flu from watching you eat that nastiness. OMG, must go dry heave now.

@Black Belt Mama, Well, if I have to risk puking, EVERYONE should.

I can’t even watch- I was like a little kid peaking through my fingers. Uggghhh. You are a brave, brave man!!!!

@Zoe Right, Ha! Just wait. They get better.
Reply
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.

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

@Bubblewench, Fist down your throat pulling it out. OMG. ROFL. This is why I love you wench. lol

I can’t get past the point where it is actually BOARS HEAD head cheese. That is so wrong.

@Connie, Kinda poetic, really.

Actually, come to think of it, my favorite part of this video might be the “water…water…enhanced water” sign.

@Trish/Astrogirl426, I know, bizarre, right?

Oh, and also? Your next dare is WAY easier than this one. See? I didn’t make you eat head cheese! You should love me for that!

@Trish/Astrogirl426, I love you for your jams and jellies.

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!

@Kris, God, old people are weird.
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.

@Finn, Thanks, babe. Well, anything for a laugh, I say.

I love your mom. Can I have her?

@Nancy from Fear and Parenting in Las Vegas, Sure. But only when she’s in Nagging Mode. I wonder how much FedEx charges to ship people?

Scrapple. Everything but the squeal. Yummy! (no really, yummy!)

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.

@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.

Long time no see Karl! Happy Birthday! I almost tossed watching that ! Ewwwwwww..YUCK!

@heavensdevil, Hiya. Yeah, I don’t blame you.
Reply
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.

@martymankins, It’s why Mom has to be part of the dares every year.
Reply
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.
