The Halloween tutu wearing Axoloti attacking the Ghost Train Tunnel Monster with its illuminated gullet... (cue the classic Creature Double Feature intro!)
When Jennifer Hayden finished it was like everyone had dust in their eyes, or maybe they were chopping onions. Kudos!

Seriously dudes, I really did run 115 miles today! Don't look at my shoes - look at the dirt I rubbed on my left calf there! Did I tell you I ran 115 miles today?
(I'm wondering about that full sized Snickers next to his chair. If it was that close to me it wouldn't last long!)

You must get past Heather Forchilli by proving that you are worthy before having any Doritos, chips, Tostitos, Cheetos, or pretzels. (You can eat hummis like soup all you want, even if you aren't worthy!)
Edward Shibley and unnamed friend getting destroyed! (While the dude in the background doesn't even stop eating his sandwich!)
What exactly was on that slice of pizza that my crew gave me? I should ask more questions when.. ohhhh, pretty lights!
Super Glowy Sheila Wilson!

2.5 Hours Later...
That lazy RD got a solid 30 seconds in before someone was like "Hey Rob!"
Everyone will have left and the doors will be locked! Don't worry tho - she's sitting up so there will be no blood rush and her headlamp is still on high beam so she's ready for the dark!

It isn't a competition, but pick it up ladies - you've got stiff competition!
