Big Pizza Date Night?

My mom is coming into town next week. This means that Vern and I will be able to go out on a date because we will have a babysitter. This means that I have been looking into things to do on said date night.

One of the things that I thought of was trying to eat this giant pizza from local favorite Beau Jo's together:


Doesn't that seem like a romantic thing to do? What says love like EATING A 14 POUND PIZZA TOGETHER!

But I am only partially considering this because:

1) I don't like that it is a hamburger sausage combo type of pizza. That is not exactly my type of pizza.

2) I looked up how much a Papa Murphy's family-sized stuffed pizza weighs (because you all know how fond I am of Papa Murphy's Grilled Chicken and Bacon Stuffed pizza), and it only weighs 5 pounds. A measly 5 pounds! I could easily eat at least half that pizza if I wanted to, but that only puts me at 2.5 pounds. Making up another 4.5 pounds to eat half of a 14 pound pizza doesn't seem possible.

However, if we did do it, we would win $100 cash, plus free t-shirts (as well as getting the pizza itself for free).

This would not be Vernon's first time trying to win a food challenge.

He tried to eat this 4 pound "Ethyl" hamburger at The R-Place Family Eatery in Morris, Illinois... twice (once in 2002 and again, shown here, in 2006):
























Then, in 2007, he tried to eat this 72 oz steak at the Big Texan in Amarillo, Texas:
























He did not succeed in any of the endeavors.

So... what are some other ideas for date night?

Oh gosh, just the thought of trying to eat all that pizza makes me ill. And pizza is my FAVORITE food! The D-Note in Arvada is a fun pizza place. They often have live music. The service is generally r..e..a..l..l..y slow but the yummy pizza makes up for it.

Oh my gosh, that is hilarious. I love the pics of Vern in front of all that ginormous good. Good luck with that pizza. Kind of makes me want to gag, thinking of eating that much.

I mean, ginormous FOOD.

My all time favorite date is getting takeout Thai food and going on a hike.
Second all time favorite date: ATV riding in the hills.
Third Favorite Date: Disneyland.
Fourth Favorite: Playing the Shopping Cart Game at Wal Mart. (this is more fun if it's a double date and the employees are super high strung...)
