Almost anything goes

My school has a "game" night that creates unity by forcing the classes into mortal combat... Okay not really. But with they way some of my classmates acted last night I thought they were going to die if we lost. Not like that was possible.

I don't think we were ever not in the lead. I know we broke one school record, personally I think we broke two. My class was the first class in my schools history to win the game night all four years. Whoop-de-freaking-doo. We also took first place but for four events, in which we got second. By the last two events/games there was no possible way for us to lose.

Watching crazed college students in color coordinating outfits run around participating in stupid games was definitely worth the time I spent there. I can't remember all the games, but here is a run down of the basic logic defiying humiliation I went through for four years:

First event... maybe.

Imagine a two rows of senior college students facing each other. Now see them laying on a gym floor facing each other with about two feet between their faces. Then die laughing as they blow, yes blow, a ping pong ball down the line of people.

Second event

I always skip out on this event, unfortunately I was forced to participate at least once. The object of this trial is a big black inner tube. The success of the trial is running out to said inner tube holding hands with a classmate and then pulling the inner tube over your heads. Super awkward, but not the most awkward event of the night.

Third event... I have stopped even trying to remember the order.

Carrying M&M's, in a spoon, from one jar to another... not fun. Also another event I don't participate in.

Fourth event.

Blowing up a balloon while running from a corner of the gym to the middle while holding hands with a classmate, only to have said classmate sit on the balloon and pop it, once your in the middle. After the balloon is popped you run back to your corner of the gym to repeat the process.

Fifth event.

Tug 'a war. Does this need any more explanation?

Sixth event.

This event is a little awkward to explain. Basically there is a line of people on the floor and those people have to move a mattress back and fourth down the line with different people riding it... kinda like a magic carpet, but smelly and powered by people.

Seventh event.

A paper airplane folding extravaganza! Can you tell which event is my fav? I thinks so. The winner is the class that gets the most paper airplanes into a circle in five minutes. It's the only event where the gym stops becoming a mad cheering den and becomes a focused silent libraryesk experience.

There are also three other areas to score points: number of participants, decoration of corner, and class chant. I feel like I missing something, but it most not have been crucial if I didn't remember it. Speaking of people not remembering I am highly irritated at the personages in charge of this game night. They forgot to buy the ice cream, so during the ice cream break we got nothing. So aggravating.

But yes, my class created a first record. For our sake I hope someone other poor class with nothing better to do on a Saturday night soon joins the prestigious rank we have created.
