Livermush

I recently mentioned Livermush in my post about our visit to the Snack Bar in Hickory, North Carolina. Two Western Carolina University professors have entered into "The Liver Mush Wager." Each must complete five scholarly articles during the academic year or suffer this horrible consequence:

Should either signatory fail to complete their five (5) articles, they shall have to eat a meal of liver mush prepared by the other signatory, in front of witnesses, preferably at Western Carolina University’s U-Club. The signatory preparing the liver mush may prepare it in any way that they choose, no matter how foul, with the only stipulation that the liver mush shall be thoroughly cooked (for reasons of food safety). Should both signatories fail to fulfill the obligations of the wager, both shall suffer this, The Liver Mush Penalty.
