So I am turning 40 this year. I figured that the birthday challenge had to be something special. I thought about making it truly epic, but who can compete with Stainless Steve's 40 days of hell? So I landed on something that is epic for me but also captures the spirit of the midlife crisis: doing a bunch of things that were probably better suited for me when I was 20 years younger!
The Challenge:
4 jumbo dill pickles
