Warning: If you are squeamish about seeing a disgraced hockey fan eating a worm on camera after losing a bet on a game-winning goal, you'll want to avoid hitting "play" here:
"Drizzt1" is a Colorado Avalanche fan living in Australia, one who frequents the official fan message boards on the Avs' website. On Nov. 6, 2010, the Avalanche were set to play the Dallas Stars when another user on those boards predicted that center Kevin Porter, who had yet to score a goal in the regular season, would have the game-winner that night.
Drizzt1 was skeptical, to a rather disturbing extent:
At 10:02 of the first period, Porter scored. The Avalanche won, 5-0. So, while not exactly dramatic, he had the game-winning goal. Uh-oh.
As the video showed, there was a thread and a poll on the boards urging Drizzt1 to pay up and to document it. Last Friday, he informed his fellow fans that yes, in fact, the deed was done:
"Firstly, it was disgusting. It fricken squirmed in my mouth. Secondly, again, I apologize because I was pretty drunk. Third, once it finished, I spewed."
Sounds about right. But let it never be said that Drizzt1 wiggles out of the bets his mouth makes. In fact, let it be said that his bets wiggle in his mouth.
