The Op3-'n:10k or bust (Part 1)

We could do it with broasted chicken pieces too. That way, maybe @Battisstatus wouldn’t order pizza

Clearly @RyMo didnt see how much pizza I consumed at the ope hahaha

not claiming I could win an eating contest if any sorts, but I stuffed my fucking face for 2 days with BLT’s for lunch and pizza for dinner, with some cheese curds sprinkled in from time to time

I’ve never ate more food out of spite than that broasted chicken and fish. It was great, but I was so mad from it taking 45+ minutes (and honestly pretty hammered), I think I ate a whole chicken and like 8 pieces of fish.

I’m not sure if I’m offended at this or not so I’m going to choose to be slightly hurt by your drive by and move on.

If no one sees you eat it, the calories dont count though.

Just got an invite for a destination wedding in Cancun on July 16th, 2024. Gonna tell the wife we can meet at ORD Sunday AM post-Ope.

If you fly out of MKE you might be able to sneak in another round on Sunday morning

no. the wedding is more important. You will be missed and can’t wait to connect in 2025*.

*Need 13 people to drop to get off the waitlist.

You’re going to get it.

Just wait a bit.

Is it a midwest thing to have an old rusty knife to carve pumpkins rather than fancy new saws?

I can’t properly explain how safe 13 on the waitlist is for getting into the event.

For one thing, there are literally 12 spots currently open because of Roost qualifying. There’s a chance those spots will end up going to people already signed up or higher up on the wait-list. That will immediately shake things up and move people forward when it eventually happens. That’s in addition to the natural attrition these sign ups have which will likely come first.

The glass-half-full midwestern positivity I’m seeing from this group would not fly out here in the west.

It ain’t positivity, it’s reality :joy:

A very good chance. And at least 25 people will suddenly have other commitments when it comes time to pay.

I’ll give you some perspective from out west. I was like 40th or something on the waitlist this year and got in.

I’ll give even more perspective.

I went through 73 people on the wait list to fill the field of 60. 133 people to fill 60 spots, is about average. 13th on the waitlist means you should already have your flights booked @RyMo

I look forward to doing this again in January and again in probably March.

We’re also silently judging/eye rolling you for not listening to us that at 13 you’re absolutely getting off the list.
