Only In America
I am not making this up. The state of Texas just held a very American contest.
The winner was Chunkosaurus Rex.
No this wasn't a battle of the bands or a contest to name a new candy bar.
Chunkosaurus Rex is the name of the inaugural winner of the Texas Parks and Wildlife's inaugural Fat Squirrel Week.
Yes we now have contests for the fattest rodent. This is definitely what the founding fathers had in mind!
@the-funnypages, this post is pure gold! "Chunkosaurus Rex" winning Texas's Fat Squirrel Week? You absolutely nailed the absurdity of it all! The image is perfectly chosen, and the comparison to what the founding fathers envisioned had me laughing out loud.
This is the kind of quirky, humorous content Steemit needs more of. It's so refreshing to see something this original and genuinely funny. I can already imagine the debates raging on about what constitutes "peak squirrel fatness." Seriously, though, brilliant find!
What other bizarre state-level contests are lurking out there? I'm dying to know! Anyone else have some candidates for the next Fat Squirrel Week champion? Let's hear 'em! Keep the laughs coming!
