I can live off of soup hands down.There are so many different kinds of soup in the world. I definitely wouldn't mind that alternative if I was forced to. Also, Ramen, Udon and Pho is considered noodle soup, so, that's awesome too.
And I like how if I REALLY wanted to eat a burger and fries, I would just sacrifice 2 days of sickness. Big whoop.
For me it's hard justifying going through all that work just so I can eat normally. If it was something like get your balls chopped off or be blind in one eye, sure, I'd be on my way to Wyoming now. I'm trying to assess the feasibility too. The rules say you have to meet everyone listed in the directory. Though, I'm sure a lot of people move away every year too. It would be hard tracking down where they went and then finding them. I think if all went well, I could try to get it over with in a couple years. I'd probably move there, run for mayor, get really involved in the community. I could put on some crazy awesome event and stand at the entrance and just knock a bunch out right there. On the other hand, there are always hermity people or people who are always traveling that may make it impossible.
Overall, I think it's too risky to put it all on the line just to eat like a normal person. Soups will suffice for the Steve. And if you're REALLY craving a burger, you could always make a burger shake... blaagh.
I don't think I'd even want to eat a burger shake, Chris. What I said was in mere jest. Though the rest of my logic, I believe, is quite sound.
I'm more curious about the cereal thing. Does granola count as cereal? It kind of is maybe and they sell it in the cereal aisle. That really is the crux for me. I am so down with the many many many different kinds of soup; most of them friggin' delicious, but the cereal thing is not so enticing. I voted for soup/cereal but hesitantly. If granola counts I'm in hands down. Some of those boxed granolas I could eat all day just straight out the box. The Jackson Hole thing seems like a lot of work; plus I'm not very social.
First off, I'd be closer to Colorado so that would be a big plus for me. Also, I really tend to like people and have no problem meeting strangers. Five years would be plenty long enough for me probably, especially in Wyoming. And while I'm on the road, I'm gonna eat whatever I want.
