What's the Sixshooter? 

 

    This Sixshooter is former youth minister David Garcia's favorite food, or so we thought until he proved himself unworthy of its glory.  But that's just a small part of its legendary heritage as one of the world's most satisfying meals.  The Sixshooter is a cheeseburger with 6 patties of meat, 6 slices of cheese, and buns on the top and bottom from Whataburger.  The Sixshooter need not boast such condiments as pickles, onions, lettuce, or tomato, but may sport some ketchup, mustard, or mayo to suit the taste of the challenger.  The Sixshooter can also go atomic with the addition of bacon.  Only one man has been known to try this and survive.  Read on for more.

    The Sixshooter will not bow to just anyone.  It does not like to be easily defeated.  It will only submit to a stomach that can handle it's enormously satisfying cheeseburgery goodness. 

    The Sixshooter, or 'Shooter, as we affectionately refer to it, has two currently known relatives: it's little brother the Nuke, which is a similar burger from Wendy's, and it's cousin the Hecto-burger, which is a similar burger from Burger King.  Neither the Nuke nor the Hecto-burger can compare in size to the Sixshooter, which is far bigger and more satisfying.

ATOMIC SIXSHOOTER!!! 

Sixshooter fallout mayhem.

    Josh Thompson, drummer from Before the Throne, not only pioneered, but demolished the Atomic Sixshooter on the way to Godstock 2 in Burnet, on the anniversary of the birth of the Sixshooter only a year prior.  Adding several strips of juicy bacon to an already lethal dose of beef and cheesy, the vegetarian Thompson powered down the monster burger only hours before playing on stage for dozens of screaming teens.  Later that night at a second performance for a youth retreat at St. Mary's in Lago Vista, TX, Thompson reported feeling extremely ill and allegedly filled his stomach with chewable tums to make it through the night.  Mr. Thompson, we salute you.  You are a visionary and a hero.  And you're a really bad vegetarian. 

 

THE FIRST SHOWDOWN!!! 

The boys show what they are worth.

    On the way back from DCYC, the Emmaus vans pull into a fast-food restaurant cluster in Temple, TX.  Little did they know that the St. John Neumann crew had decided to pull in to the same place.  David and Michael agreed it was time to face off and see who could handle the Sixshooter against the other.  Core Member from Chris Donatto St. John Neumann joined in.  With the burgers ordered, the crowds gathered to watch the historic event.  All said and done, Chris demolished his burger in about 10 minutes.  Michael took a little longer, but was still satisfied claiming the title for Emmaus after David threw in the towel with half of his burger remaining.  It was momentous day for us all.  Chris is considering professional eating as a new career path.  David realized a triple cheeseburger is plenty to satisfy him on a normal day.

  

SIXSHOOTER UPDATE!!! 

Sixshooter sighting in Burnet, TX.  Later found demoralized, eaten.

Burnet, TX    So it finally happened.  Michael's band, Before the Throne, was headed to Godstock '06 to blow some youth away with their awesome music, and lo and behold, the giant orange striped "W" called out to them in the lovely town of Burnet, TX.  Michael, having dreamt of the Sixshooter for months now, was anxious to try and obtain one.  He ordered it, and to his great surprise, they agreed to make it for him.  Fourteen dollars and ninety-three cents was the total cost of the Whata-sized Sixshooter Combo Meal.  Needless to say, it wasn't on the menu. 

The crowd whispered as they watched the entire kitchen crew huddle around the monitor to stare in awesome wonder at a sight they had never before beheld and will never forget: a Sixshooter. 

Michael says he will never forget seeing them bring the largest burger he had ever seen, take his #43, and set it down in front of him.  The whole table shook like an earthquake, as did his hands as he marvelled at its unparalleled size.  This was the grandaddy of all burgers.  One burger to rule them all.

    He unwrapped it to see it's beastly stature; six sizzling hot patties of 100% beef with 6 gorgeous slices of American cheese all melted in between.  It was a frightening sight to behold.  He wrapped his hands around the great monster, and it stared definantly back at him, daring him to try and eat it.  He took one giant bite as his teeth sunk into a wall of meaty cheesy goodness.  A picture of this momentous first bite was taken and sent to David via cell phone as a taunting gesture.  Then Michael began his work.

    He ate it all, with the exception of 2 bites, because we all know that you don't want 6 patties of beef and 6 slices of cheese all in your stomach at one time, especially when you are about to lead a few hundred high school teens in worship.  Needless to say, the Sixshooter was humiliated and admitted its defeat.  Michael left the two bites there as an insult to the beast... he wasn't worried about finishing.  The damage was done, and he was no longer hungry.  Those last two bites would have just been a little too much.  Besides, he was out of sweet tea and when he came back, the sloppy remains just didn't look appetizing.  And he was afraid of having terrible indigestion on stage. 

    Michael walked victoriously into the parking lot, feeling mighty full.  Now David's challenge was before him.  Soon the two shall face off in a collosal contest to see who can eat a Sixshooter the fastest.  Who will win, and who will be happy just to come out alive?
