Wife-Carrying Contest
Gosey had this awesome article posted on his blog about this wife-carrying contest in Finland. Basically you've gotta carry your wife 250 metres through some kinda obstacle course. If you win, your prize is your wife's weight in beer.
So I'm like, dude, we TOTALLY need to do this in Chattanooga. We gotta figure out how to market it though, maybe get Big River to sponsor it. I just think this would be a total blast. Make it a big festival or something.

That'd be awesome, though I'd have to wait it out a year. The ever-expanding pregnant stomach might make it a little tough right now. On the other hand, it would also increase the amount of my potential prize!

Let's see, IIRC the converstion ratio is something like 8 lbs. water/gallon...that's a hell of a lot of beer.

Ya, the guy who won got 45 litres of ale.

I'd get married just to participate. A strong polygamist could bring home a whole lot of beer.
