What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Securing things doesn't have to be difficult. You can easily get the right security for you and the best service in the field. Always better than a smile. Choose the best. Choose security. Smile. Smile. You are safe. Mattoviikot Rusta! Now almost all matts in the wide selection are down by 25%. Watch more offers from the Rusta.com website and join the Club Rusta. A significant link for new club members.
What are the rules and prize of the Fright Club horror challenge?
Rusta, so much, so little.
The first rule of Fright Club is that you can't join if you have a heart condition or high blood pressure. That's just common sense though, right? The second rule is that you can't leave the room until the bell rings. Whatever you see or feel in there, whatever sees or feels you, that's your reality until the round is over. The third rule is that you cannot take anything with you or let anything follow you out. The poster said that breaking any of these rules makes the participant ineligible to win the $20,000 grand prize, which comes with a unique internship opportunity. The cartoon pumpkin and witch stickers didn't make it sound very threatening. Besides, the poster had my university logo on it, and everyone knows that school-sponsored events are lame and politically correct by necessity.
You can't not do it, my friend Jesse told me. It's free money. This coming from the guy whose retirement plan is buying a lottery ticket every month. There has to be a catch, I told him. They charged me to print out my resume so I could apply to their own job offers. You aren't going to get it. Let's make it more interesting then, Jesse said. Bet you 100 bucks that I'll last longer than you, whatever it is. Ten thousand is ten thousand, but showing up my friend and taking his money? Now that's priceless. I agreed to check it out, and we both went to the specified room in the psychology building after our classes finished for the day. The stickers made it easy to find the right place. Big black cauldrons with frothing brew, zombies and skeletons.
Ghosts with their billowing sheets and demons with pitchforks. The scrawny teenager in the long black cloak who checked us in was even less intimidating. "'You know the three rules?' the guy in the cloak asked when we said we'd like to join.' Yeah, but what's up with something following you out? I asked. The teenager shrugged. Don't know. I figure they just don't want to make a mess in the rest of the building. Has anyone won yet? Jesse asked. "'Maybe.' The teenager scratched the back of his head with the intensity of a dog chasing fleas. "'Man, just let me read from the script, okay?' He coughed and held up a clipboard, beginning again in what he must have thought was a dark and spooky voice. "'It sounded more like Dracula's gay lover to me.'
Once upon a time in a faraway land, an aging king had to decide which of his three sons would next sit upon the throne. Believing bravery to be the most important, the king devised Fright Club to test which of his sons were worthy. Seriously? What self-respecting king would call his test Fright Club? Jesse asked. The teenager gave us a long-suffering look, like a waiter when you ask him to taste your gluten-free food to see if he thought he could still taste the gluten. "'Ever since, Fright Club has been passed down through the generations,' the cloaked guy continued. "'Dare ye enter to see if you too are brave enough to be king?' "'Is that what we're interning for? Being king?' Jesse quipped. "'Just sign the damn form,' the teenager snapped.
"'I don't know anything more than you do.' I picked at one of the pumpkin stickers on the wall while Jesse was signing. It peeled cleanly back to reveal a little hole in the wall. It was time for me to sign, though, so I pressed the sticker back into place and pretended I didn't see anything. I thought that I might be able to get an advantage from this insight later.' The teenager, meanwhile, produced a large, uncarved pumpkin from beneath the table and left it in the middle of the room. He set a timer on the table for ten minutes and said he'd check back after the first round was over.
