Every year, we on First Hunt like to have a little fun with the annual "Manliest Man" challenge. Basically, Manliest Man is a "fun" attempt to see who's the toughest, strongest, most charismatic and most noble man on the hall. While it is in all respects just a fun and friendly competition, some years things can get a little extreme (after all, sticking 35 manly guys together to see who is the manliest is bound to get a little heated). So I'll tell you a little bit about just what went down.
First, we had the contestants all lay with their backs up against a wall to see who can do the longest "wall sit"- which I must add is seriously hard. On top of that though, everyone drank a few drops of the hottest hot sauce that Tijuana Flats on 9th street was allowed to sell us. Finally, everyone was handed a cup of milk for added temptation. The last person standing who hadn't drunk the milk or dropped the wall sit was the winner. And oh man did was it intense. Ian Bunner notably suffered wall-sitting against the pegs of about 15 outsticking mailboxes, and finished the challenge with large scars on his back (we now know not to mess with Ian).
As if that wasn't enough, we next had all the contestants down on the floor to see who can do the most push ups according to Jared's count- aka "UP!" "DOWN" Hold it.... hold it... hold it... "UP halfway".. so one of those types of things. The hero this time was our own RLA the massive Praruj Pant, who went one on one with another guy from off hall and led 1st Hunt to victory.
After a couple of other challenges, we thought we'd crowned ourselves a winner. Though Ian didn't last the longest on the wall sit or win the push up contest, he amazed us all and we decided that for suffering some cuts like those and still being as cheerful as he is that he deserved to be crowned our manliest man for 2015.
Bravo to all who entered- you are the warriors who bring great dignity to our hall!
