A little tip for all of you who tweet, write Facebook posts and generally live on Reddit: Maybe saying you’ll eat something gross if an unlikely event happens is a bad idea, because then you’ll have to do that disgusting thing lest you’re labeled a welcher.

This Sacramento Kings fan took to Reddit to say that he’d eat a book if the franchise signed NBA elder statesman Vince Carter, which wasn’t that unlikely. Mr. “Ropygenie” didn’t back down when Carter signed this summer, taking a page out of George Karl’s book that caused so much uproar last year and wolfed it down:

The kicker: That wasn’t just any page. It was one signed by Karl himself. Tasty.
