yamgoth and the ALS Bucket Challenge · 1:48am Sep 2nd, 2014
Greetings, fellow sufferers!
Recently, Horizon was nominated to take the ice bucket challenge. Instead, he opted to convince someone else bite the dust using the enticing power of horse words. Seeing more than just the opportunity for a short pony fic to be written up to my liking, I took up the challenge with evil intention on my mind. Plus, I felt like amusing myself.
I didn't think simply a single ice bucket to be hardcore enough, though, and upped the ante by subjecting myself to a gauntlet of increasing coldness and stupidity. I think it's fair, though, considering what I ask later.
Bag o' ice from
work.
It was raining when I had left work, and fortunately (perhaps unfortunately?) it had stopped by the time I got home. It would have added a new level of cold and retardation. Oh well. But to be fair, it did make the grass super cold.
Purple drink and pirate shirt, yo.
Skywriter suggested that I use brine, but there wasn't any salt in the house. Not gonna lie, I didn't do any research on what brine is. Was tempted to throw pickle juice in the bucket. That's brine, right?
I didn't feel like doing a video. I have zero video editing skills, so please don't mind the crap ton of frame-by-frame quick snap pics too much. It's almost like they're the stills from an animation :D
First came the bucket of water. Horizon suggested that I balance a beer on my head, but I couldn't keep it steady and my bro was getting impatient so that idea was scrapped.
Notice that I am taking that ice bukkake bucket right in the face. How many ice bucket challenges have you seen take it in the face?
Second thoughts
Glasses knocked off in the deluge. Look at the Pinkie Pie button.
Shiver me fuckin timbers! Yarrr!
I could've ended it after that. Quite frankly, that single ice bucket sucked as it was. But no, I was going through this gauntlet. Next comes my best impression of "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, where I learn the hard way that getting ice cold beer in your eyes sucks ass hard.
lol. It's shooting out all of my face orifices. Like my nose.
How does Stone Cold do it? Obviously years of practice. You become friggin blinded if it gets in your eyes. Not to mention you don't actually get to drink the beer. Kinda a waste of Molson. Oh well. It's an amusing show.
Out of creative ideas, I take to that nice, refreshing Slurpee from earlier.
Hurr durr.
Just a fuckin' sec, eh, Baconor. I need a drink.
Again, to the face.
It goes into my mouth for maximum brain freeze. Word of advice: never try to chug a Slurpee. Even if it seems like it'll save you some time cutting corners.
Purple ice bukkake Slurpees hurt. A lot.
After that Slurpee, my face is numb and hurty and I start complaining. Baconor, behind the lens, gives me encouragement: "Just fuckin' do it and get it over with."
So next comes the ice bucket. Like, an actual ice bucket. It's more ice than melted water and prolly the most literal interpretation of the Ice Bucket Challenge.
The bukkake of Ice Giants... or maybe Ice Zombies? :S
Notice the hesitance. Not gonna lie, I wuss out a bit and take it just to the top of the noggin.
I have ice on my head. Ow.
Finally, after dumping all that super cold shit on myself, I shove my head in the freezer for maximum brain freeze retardation. I have prolly caused myself some brain damage.
I turn Obsolescence's nice bucket challenge into something hardcore. I am a genius.
Holy crap! The Fridge applies a GRM![1] It's super effective![2]
[1]Guarenteed Reversal Maneuver, a bit of an inside joke between me and my friends. In professional wrestling, wrestlers need to take rest spots after a long sequence of moves, and, for this case, do it in the form of chin locks and side headlocks and keeping them locked on, which don't involve a lot of moving. Usually, it's the villain applying it to the hero. Due to the peculiar way wrestling physics works, the lack of oxygen going to the victim's brain gives them super strength and they break out of the hold, reversing the tides of battle in their favour and usually go into their flurry of rassel moves.
To a smark, GRMs can become very tedious to watch.
Such time. Much inaction
Not to be confused with submissions holds which actually win matches.
[2]This isn't a GRM, actually. I pass out. Notice the limp arms.
So why would I go through the Ice Bucket Challenge pretty much five times, other than for the sheer hell of it? Why subject myself to all that crap? Why donate five times, too?
Because now I won't feel as bad when I nominate an absolute fuckton of people ;)

My bestest friends in the whole wide world:

And my bro, who is prolly more evil than I am:

I got two words for ya'll:
Ahh... The Ice Bucket Challenge touches people who probably didn't ever think they would drenched by it. Excellent.
Although, some have already been nominated or fulfilled their challenges (Meta and Ferret, Froey and SolidFire) and I put the on the list to let them know I was thinking of them <3, others I feel won't do it because of anonymity (Bronystories, FOME, parasprite).
Well, think of this not as a nomination, but more of an invitation. Your name will still be here for people to look at, though. C'mon, it'll be fun! ^_^ you can get creative with this. Use frozen things instead of ice, like frozen peas or berries, or jumping into an ice pool like Stiggerzz. Do the Challenge in odd locations. Just don't go overboard and do it atop a crane or something (although, if you have 1337 parkour skillz). And don't do frozen chemicals unless you're somehow superhumanly resistant to such crap.
In regards to those who hold their anonymity dear, why not have your back to the camera? Or better, wear a disguise? Get a Guy Fawkes mask, make an extremely crude mask out of a styrofoam plate, string, and macaroni. Use a paper bag with eye holes. Pretend it's already Halloween, put a white bed sheet over yourself and pretend to be a ghost.
This is an invitation to do the challenge, so you don't have to do it. Although, I had a great time doing the challenge. It was very fun and amusing ^_^ It'd be like missing out on something if you don't do it, eh?
Also, because horizon got me to take the Challenge in his place, I'm allowing similar stipulationsto his. If you're invited and of the writing inclination, you may offer to make a short story, 400-750 word from a 3-5 word prompt of anything the first person willing to kick the bucket for you desires. But, there is the chance you will have to write the person fetish porn. That's what I got horizon to do, except I was nice about it and it isn't actually porn. Will your minion be as nice to you? Although, you could prolly use this to get into the Evil League of Evil quite easily through the supreme evil powers of manipulation, you evil genius you.
But mostly, you'll be fighting ALS. Not gonna lie, I didn't look into it and still don't understand it, but I know it's a worthy cause and stuff cause that's how I roll. Does it have anything to do with Lorenzo's Oil?
Super Trampoline gets a pic of my ugly mug looking retarded happy while eating a banana and shirtless.
[3]Sorry, Paladin! It was either you or Ghost, but I thought Ghost could stand laughing at a friend for once. Totally not an evil thing to do.

Holy craaaaaaap. You get like... all the thumbs up from me for all the wrestling stuff you threw in there. Heh, glad I already did mine today. It was actually kind of a fun thing to do. I hope you had fun freezing brain cells for future use!
~SolidFire
You. Rat. BASTARD.

*Magnificent
And he is laughing at our ridiculousness I am sure.
Guess I have to go make some friends now to hold the camera for me.
Ehehehe, so glad I got this over with today. I did it twice, sorta. As you'll see tomorras.

Tried to throw in
But that didn't really work out for this. Maybe I should've thrown in a Glacier reference, because this was cold as fuck, and pretty expensive. Allegedly, Glacier's original entrance cost a crapton to make. Take your pick, the fake snow, the lazers, the ninja costume, the entrance theme... it was pretty expensive back then.
Oh! I forgot thank you for editing that RarityXJake the Snake erotic wrestle fic I wrote awhile back. Thanks, eh? I dunno if I should post it or not...

Bwahaha!!!

Actually, he was the first person on my mind to nominate, and he figured it out using his superior horse mind reading abilities. The Bad Horse then sent me a PM yesterday, asking me to not nominate him. So instead I nominated everyone around him. Actually, I think I should mention the Ghost Circle since there so much overlap. So yeah, I'm benevolent enough to not nominate him, but foolish enough to vaguely imply anyone who does this should nominate BH, and even more foolish to do this while applying for a position in his organization.
I like to think my intention is to show that I've got balls. Evil, manipulative balls (good leadership material, eh?) that are sometimes random in their decisions.
I'm sure he'll get nominations from like seven different people from this.

Why not strap it to your dog? You can call it shaky cam: dog edition. You might not get yourself getting soaked on screen, but it'll be heard, and I'm pretty sure the camera erratically filming everything in sight scores creativity points :D
2421480
That means you get to nominate a crapton of people if you go by my logic XD

You're definitely welcome. I actually found it to be a fun story. You should post it, because if you had fun writing it and everything, then that's all that matters.

Like I said there:
Yeah... You beat me, not doing anything crazier than I already did.
My response.
Not only did you have a long and enjoyable* ice-dumping experience, but I also learned something about pro wrestling!
Commission is running a bit long. (I'm sure you're totally devastated to hear that.) I ended up doing some traveling over the weekend and then on Monday just couldn't be bothered to sit at a computer. I'ma see if I can get it finished tonight.

* By the audience.
I'm in, but I got terms!link
I'm equal parts horrified and honoured,
Let's see what happens. We're doing the ALS challenge at my work soon, and I officially signed up, but... I might just pay the $100.
NO PROMISES.
P.S.: I love your shirt and Slurpee.
you're pretty hot for an azn
