Office Olympics. Do A Barrel Roll!
The Office Olympics has begun! Just in time for the Olympics (made in China).Each week, I will unveil a new event for you to participate in, leading up to the Beijing Olympics. First up: Water Roll.
Can you taste the difference?This
isn't something you label when you see a fat lady do a cannonball into
a pool. No, this event requires quickness, agility, great balance, and a good health insurance plan when you injure yourself in 5 different places.Requires: Pitcher, jumper, 5-6 jugs of waterJust like bowling, the pitcher rolls the jugs of water down an aisle. The jumper
is then required to jump over (running starts not allowed) each barrel without touching one. Like
an Olympic weightlifting event, one can request to jump over more than 1 barrel at
a time. The more jugs you leap over at a time, the higher points rewarded. My record stands at 4--it can be done, as
I've been successful (after numerous failed attempts).
It's a me....
That's What She Said
Comparing 2 flavors of Blue Diamond almonds, which by the way are THE best almonds around.Me: I'm not feeling these nuts as much as the other ones.

juu eez bacqk! ^_^ & "that's what she said!"
What if you line up two tables at the edges of the aisle (or anything with a stable surface) and hold on to those as you're "jumping" over the jugs, using the tables as leverage?
lol nuts
Aha. Nuts.
WTF @ Kobe.

I think I told you I finally hit my goal of losing 25 lbs ["go for 30! go for 30!"] ... Quite you! ... Anyway, I have convinced myself that the first 10 came off by drinking at least 2 litres of water everyday. I noticed that all of the thin people in the office are big time water drinkers and decided to adopt the same.
GULP!
welcome back Chris, did u buy me anything?
Chris!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just a few days ago, I was like, "Dang, where has cakalusa been? He hasn't blogged lately." Then, I remembered you were in Cali.
Hope you had a great time. I am heading there in a week.
Water Roll? A definite fail for yours truly.
Reminds me of a particularly nefarious gag we pulled a few years ago. We had this girl who went on and on and on about how the water tasted "fishy" in the waterbottle. Every day she'd make such a big deal about it until I decided that an object lesson was in order. During lunch I went down to walmart and bought a 34¢ goldfish and slipped Flipper in the tank. The tough part was, of course, not letting it fall out when I flipped the bottle upside down again. Sure enough, he stayed and swam around in the water bottle until she went to fill her glass.
I swear she nearly hit the ceiling when she saw it. She started flipping out and ran around for a while telling everyone (and I do mean everyone) in the office that the supply company was trying to poison us with fish poop. Geez, you'd think it was a personal agenda or something based on her level of freak-out-ed-ness. Finally once we'd managed to calm the winch down, we managed to get the fish out and put him in a little bowl on someone's desk. I think he lived a year or so before he went belly up. I was so tempted to re-use him in another gag, but there are places even I won't go.
man, i miss donkey kong...
I miss youuuu!
<3chelle
