Who Wants to Play?


I would like to officially propose a Summer Games Event Challenge. I am picturing a decathlon style contest held over a series of weeks or possibly a weekend or two. I tried to come up with ten events that would be fun, challenging and that guys and girls could compete in fairly evenly.
1. Salsa Making
2. Pop-a-shot
3. Limericks (for Leslie)
4. Horseshoes
5. Ice cream making
6. Trivia contest of some kind
7. Risk (or another board game)
8. Three Flies Up (this one may have to be split into guys and girls)
9. Golf (the card game)
10. Dodgeball
If anybody has any suggestions for other contests that should replace or eliminate any of the above please feel free to post them.

Update: Perhaps we could locate a Wii somewhere and put Wii boxing, bowling, tennis, etc in for one or some of the above.

So what does everybody say? Is this something that sounds fun?

I just never know what percentage of your blog entries are serious and/or senseless! :)

I thought that this was a brilliant idea!

I agree. Brilliant. We should add American Idol to the list. And with so many people running, we should add a 1/2 mile or mile race.

I vote Brilliant! NO NO NO on the running thing. That just takes the fun right out! I like all of Jed's ideas though. I think a Disney trivia would be super fun, but I might be alone on that. :)

Sounds really fun to me!
