Challengeomatic

Someone commented the other day that if there's one thing that my friends (mainly the Cool Kids on Oak Lawn) and I do well, it's pointless challenges. For example, there has been:

• The Beach Off (swim at the beach every day) - this would have to rank as the best challenge we've accomplished so far. I won the Southern Beach Off on Day 121 (and kept going until Day 125); Richard and Terry tied for the Northern Beach-Off on Day 1. Coming this summer: the worldwide beach off showdown!


• The carton challenge (drink a carton in a day) - it's happening next Australia Day for sure.


• 5-shake Thursday (drink 1 of all 5 flavours of Brownes Supershake in one sitting). I think Jamin made it to about 3; I made it to 4.5 and threw up everywhere. Never again.


• the upcoming War on Teriyaki (eat Hampden Rd teriyaki chicken every day of the week). We only had it a few times this week, making it more of an incursion on teriyaki


• the suit-off (wear a suit every day of Mid Year Rotto). Luke won this one easily.


• settlersurvivorthon (which actually wasn't really a challenge), and now the proposed survivor-off (download and watch every episode of survivor - last person awake wins).


• Rooboy's music challenge (listen to his entire mp3 collection the whole way through). I think it was about 10000 songs.

(I've probably forgotten quite a few other challenges.) Chocolate Bear's also just proposed a KFC Challenge, but I'm not that much of a KFC fan. Another Carton Challenge is definitely on the cards, though.
