No Ordinary Day » Chase Foster, 23, of Raleigh, who dubbed himself ‘Embryoed,’ competes in a deviled egg eating contest at The Borough bar in Raleigh, where he is a regular. ‘I don’t especially like deviled eggs,’ Foster says. ‘My technique was to stuff as much in my mouth as fast as I could. Most of the eggs ended up on the floor, but I think cheating was encouraged.’ Foster estimates he came in second place behind Will Reynolds, aka Bad Egg, who ate 20 eggs in about a minute. Proceeds from the contest benefited the Humane Society.

Kristi Mitchell, 24, tries to keep her wedding gown out of a puddle as her husband, David, not pictured, washes their SUV at the Family Car Wash in Raleigh, after their wedding reception. As a joke, friends covered the truck in shaving cream during the reception. 'Everyone knows how he is about his car,' Kristi says. 'They were all taking bets to see how long it would be before he washed it off.' The Mitchells were high school sweethearts who met at Rocky Mount High School.
Moped enthusiasts Joshua Heald, 26, left, and Matt Surratt, 26, take a break at the highest point of the Blue Ridge Parkway during a 'scooter tour' from Cherokee to Asheville and back. Neither Heald nor Surratt, who is visually impaired, has a driver's license. The scooters, which have less than 50 cubic centimeters of piston displacement (a measure of the engine's power), can be operated without a license on North Carolina roads by riders age 16 or older. The tour took the friends four days to complete and used between four and five gallons of gasoline, all while traveling less than 30 mph. 'It's all about the challenge of getting there,' Heald said.
