Treasure Quest 5: Part 2
Continued…
Stop 4: The Mental Hospital/Morgue
The quintessential stop lay ahead; this was where they had to eat the inedible! Way ahead and in the lead, the Gotokids were growing cocky. But they were not prepared for what lay ahead of them. It would tear into their very being.
On this stop, the kids were made to chow down liters of Dinugu-an (the blood being supplied fresh from the morgue), a couple more liters of extra-healthy but oh-so-yucky veggie shake (made of okra, onions, garlic and phlegm) and live frog! And they had to down all these yummy treats in just 5 minutes. Makes you wonder what injustice they did to the world to deserve such an ordeal.
4 and a half minutes up and Spitfire Chucky was still clutching his half-full/half-empty cup of veggie shake (whichever way you look at it it’s still disgusting). Out of his passion for winning, Leonito Goto took the cup out of Spitfire Chucky’s hands and consumed the repugnant concoction in less than 10 seconds. He beat the time and he then gave a victory shout in front of the TV cameras as he pumped his chest. He was hoping that that particular scene would be shown on TV. Boy, will he be disappointed.
Again, the Gotokids were victorious in this stop. All thanks to Leonito Goto and his heroic efforts. But Single Dad and Spitfire Chucky broke the news to him—the contents of the cup that Leonito took from Chucky were Chucky’s regurgitation and puke. Leonito Goto passed out.
Stop 5: Yu Se El Em
Swimming time! Venue: Cebu University-Mandaue Sector (CUMS).
The tasked called for a member to dive into a pool and fetch carcasses of dead animals. If you fetch the carcass of a monkey then you get the points. For the Gotokids, it was the Fool and Spitfire Chucky P. who were up for the task. Now the rule was that they have to dive in the pool garbed either in a wet suit or in their underwear. The Gotokids, being the boy scouts that they are, actually brought wet suits. But Chucky and the Fool refused to wear them. Their bacon briefs were nothing to be ashamed of afterall.
So off the 2 went into the showers—the lady’s showers. It must have been such an ordeal for the ladies to look at the bacon garters that they raced away from the showers. All well and good; this gave the Fool and Spitfire Chucky the place all to themselves.
Afterwards, representatives from PETA arrived and arrested the organizers. Apparently, throwing carcasses of dead animals into a swimming pool is considered a violation of the animal humane laws. The Fool and Chucky never even got the chance to wade in the pool of stinking rotting animal flesh.
Oh well, at least they got the points.
Stop 6: Angelina Jolie’s Bakeshop
After drying themselves, the kids had to drive all the way to Marigondon onto one of Angelina Jolie’s Bakeshops. On the way there they were able to side-sweep a couple of trisikads. But they had no time to exchange bad words with the trisikad drivers. There was a race to win!
When they got there the task assigned was simple: sell bread worth P20 to the locals. Hah! Nothing could be easier. Again, it was Spitfire Chucky and he was able to sell his load in 4 minutes. He just approached one trisikad driver and bribed him. And then it was also Cornholio’s turn. Once he got his merchandise he quickly yelled, “Ganador! Ganador! P20 ra ang kilo!” In seconds a throng of people were already lined up in front of him. It was over in a 60 seconds.
Stop 7: The Crocodile’s Lair
The biggest challenge of the race: how do you get from Marigondon to Talisay in less than 20 minutes? The answer: rocket boosters! Good thing Snow White was able to mount the rocket boosters onto the Snow Mobile and the GotoCar.
Zoooommmmmm! Marigondon to Talisay in 8 minutes and 13 seconds. Nifty driving from Snow White as well. Not so great driving from Leonito—he ran through some road blocks at SRP.
The task in this stop was for the Gotokids to wrestle 5 crocodiles. No easy feat; this one was surely the hardest of the challenges. But it was a good thing that Poohjit was there for the rescue. With all his Pooh-bear strength he was able to pile drive 2 crocodiles. On another crocodile he did an ankle lock until it tapped out in submission. And then he did the tombstone on another. Who knew that such a slow bear had so much angst and energy?!
But then Poohjit was surprised by the King Crocodile from behind. But just as the King Crocodile was about to put his large-ass jaws on to Poohjit, Water King saved him by squirting the King Crocodile with 2500 PSI water. Whew! Close call! The Water King is truly a master-squirter.
High fives all around! Gotokids rule!
