Hi Geketa

No way, no rolling or whatever, the contest officiados say: "you marry her, you carry her!"

P.S. I had a problem with putting photos in Adland for a long time. What I do is when I find a photo I like I "save as" to my computer. Then I upload it to my free Blogger.com blog. Then just "copy and paste" from there into Adland. I'm using Blogger.com as a photo storage, more or less.

G'day John,

Interesting contest ! My hubby would love that one he is an advent beer drinker. I wonder if dragging her by the hair is allowed? If she is too heavy you could drag a while and than carry for a bit.:) Rolling of course could be optional !

Shalom,

Geketa

Hi

In a town called Sonkajärvi, in Finland, every year they hold a unique contest. The idea is for husbands to carry their wives over an obstacle course of .15-mile in a race and win her weight in beer.

It's an obstacle course across sand, asphalt and grass, over logs and through water. She can be carried piggy-back, fireman style or in a posture of your own invention. If you don't win the race, have no worries. You can win most entertaining couple, or couple with the best costume. Up to this time, no same-sex couples have ever entered the race.

But back to the prize of beer. Do you fatten up your wife for a couple of months beforehand with baked dinners every night, thinking of the 100kg of beer you'll win, but find you're flat out picking her up? Or when you set off with her across your shoulders, all that jiggling flesh bouncing around your head turns the both of you on, and you forget about the beer and race towards the nearest shrubbery.

On the other hand, do you starve her so you can race around the course like a greyhound carrying a twig, but only win a six-pack?

What about the 3rd alternative? Hit the weights 12 months ahead and build yourself up like big Arnie, fatten up the missus and win a pallet of Bud.

It's so hard to find that optimal balance - you want her to weigh more so you can win more beer, but you don't want her to be too heavy so that you can't lift her.

I'll leave it with you...

Well Kath, I've drank my fair share of beer, still do to a lesser extent, and I have no health problems (yet). Being a manual worker may have helped, you know, sweat it out next day. And making sure I always ate something as well. I remember once one of my wife's girlfriends was interested in a bricklayer mate of mine, so to impress him she decided to drink glass for glass (15oz schooners of beer) with him one day after work in the local pub. She finished up not knowing whether she was Arthur or Martha, Mable or mad.

I married the wrong person, maybe I'm on the wrong continent. Actually I met him when I was 19 (the drinking age here is 21) and he wouldnt buy me beer very often, what a clod! Then before I got my drivers license, at an old age, thats another story, I would walk a few blocks and carry home a full case for myself, I don't drink that much anymore, I FORGET WHY NOT! I think because I have to buy it myself now? That could be the reason.

Hi Kath,

Thanks for appreciating the recipes.

I'll bet your husband raced you to the altar at an early age. It's every man's dream to marry a lady who loves beer. Think about it, watching football for instance. Instead of going to the fridge, taking out the ingredients and mixing whiskey, ice and ginger ale, and missing half the action, it's 2 tins and back in front of the box, no action missed. That's what I call heaven!

Hi John,

I love beer so much, the thought of using it for cooking (or hair-washing) or any non-drinking purpose makes me completely crazy!! But thanks for the popcorn recipe, that's interesting!!

Two very unique chicken recipes..!

Hi,

Two great chicken recipes for you to try -

1. Beer-can chicken:

Have you ever stood drinking a can of Fourex Gold (or Bud for you Yanks) at a barbeque and thought of other uses for a beer can besides drinking the contents? Of course you have, you’re not a complete yobbo, are you?

Simply because you consume beer by the carton doesn’t mean that your brains are on loan until they’re strained out the other end of your anatomy, does it? I know I’ve thought up some weird and wonderful ideas after several tinnies, but I must admit that the following idea is someone elses. Someone of adequate IQ, probably equal to my own brain-power and mental dexterity.

The idea is to shove a half-empty can of beer (preferably Fourex Gold) up a chicken’s rectal cavity, then place it in an oven to cook. Simply grab a plucked and gutted chicken, glaze the skin with your favourite marinade or seasoning and grab a can of beer from the fridge. Drink half of the can while watching the Brisbane Broncos (Denver Broncos), then insert the can with the remaining beer up the chicken’s butt. Place the chicken upright in the Weber (are they still around?) or the oven using the can and the two drumsticks as a tripod.

Apparently this method produces a deliciously moist chicken enhanced by the flavours infused by the evaporating beer. If other recipes using beer are anything to go by, such as fish in beer batter and beer damper (scones), this should be a real tasty bird. And don’t forget to throttle a few more tinnies before, during and after your chicken dinner to really convince your palate that this is indeed beer-can chicken.

2. Chicken with popcorn stuffing:

Here is a chicken recipe that includes the use of
popcorn as a stuffing.

Imagine that! When I found this recipe, I thought
it was perfect for people like me who are just not
sure how to tell when poultry is thoroughly cooked,
but not dried out.

Size 18 chicken
1 cup melted butter
1 cup stuffing
1 cup of uncooked popcorn
Salt & pepper to taste
Preheat oven to 220c.

Brush chicken well with melted butter, salt and
pepper. Fill cavity with stuffing and popcorn.
Place in baking pan with the neck towards the
back of the oven. Listen to the popping sounds.
When the chicken’s arse blows the oven door
open and the chicken flies across the kitchen,
it’s done.

And you thought I couldn’t cook.

Hi Phil

Great pictures mate, thanks!

We've had some horrific animal cruelty cases here lately and I'm continually changing TV channels to escape it. Of course, a slap on the wrist is all they cop. I'm really surprised there isn't more vigilante-style justice meted out to felons who get off so lightly.
