Lazy man olympics - september 2012
Yes.. it's true
You've heard the stories of the veteran Olympians. You've imagined the toll and punishment it takes. And you've wondered, can you find it, can you dig that deep inside yourself to rise up to the challenge.
Lazy Man Olympics IV:
Date: Saturday, September 15 th, 2012*
Location: Kitchener Ontario (starting point - my house)
Cost: $20 entry fee, you cover booze, event costs, transportation
Payout: Winner take all*
You will need: Money for your stuff, a baseball glove, any overnight stuff you may need if you're crashing at my place, compatible liver donor.
EVENT:
As per the previous LMO - there will be five gruelling events (rules to follow):
Bowling
Johnny Knockout
Bocce
Newfy Golf / Monkey Balls / Testicle toss / whatever you call it
Poker
12:00 Meet at my place for Opening Ceremonies
12:30-12:45 Head towards the bowling alley (wherever that ends up being)
1:00 - 2:00 Bowl, drink
2:00 - 3:00 Return to my place, for the remainder of events (Ball diamond behind my place)
4:30 - 6:00 Drinks / Dinner
6:00 - ? Poker
Sunday: Curse Mark and the LMO...
General Rules:
You must be well lubricated, drinking with regualarity throughout the events.
If you pass out / get denied access / get kicked out, you don't get any points, and will be mocked mercilessly
Game-specific rulse:
Bowling:
- Every third frame will be the "beer frame", whereby the lowest scoring person will have to buy a round of beers / pitcher for his lane. You an only be the beer bitch once.
- Verbal and gestural distractions are encouraged throughout the game, but no touching the bowler.
Johnny Knockout:
- You may know it as 500 up, but basically one batter, everyone else catches. Points for ball caught: Air-100, one bounce-50, moving - 25.
- random pick of batter, you bat for 5 minutes*, then randomly pick again (only bat once). After all have batted, tally points.
Bocce:
- throw the little ball, get close with the big ones - games go to 10*. Single elimination tourney, random opponents.
Testicle toss:
- It's like a bastardized horseshoes. Look here
- again, 10 points* single elimination
Poker:
- NLHE tourney, no rebuys / add-ons. Drinking is mandatory
Drinks can be of your choice, beer, mixed, shots, whatever. For the bowling round though, only beers can be bought in the beer frames (i.e. we're not buying a double rye and ginger for the dude not drinking beer).
Competitors:
- Drtyore Mark
- Itsame Mario
- TwoThree Braad
- BigE Eric
- Hobbes Ron
- Pinhead Brad
- Various Randoms: Frank, Graham, Andrew
* - subject to change on popular vote / my whims.

What do you have more important?
Mark
Marital duties and whatnot...
He wouldn't understand.
Sure he would, he just checked to make sure his spouse was available first...
Second, I invited her too!
Third, if you notice, the date is up for discussion. Obv. not the long weekend, but maybe the weekend of the 15th?
Mark
Well played sir
Start of my Vegas trip at that time, that and I don't drink (much).;)
I had noticed - if that ends up being the popular date I'm in! And she may be too, given that she was also invited
one hundRED AND EIGHTY!
That was an event in LMO I
It took a long time, and sharp projectiles are tough.
Mark
carry on
Due to the overwhelming votes (3) for the 15th, the date is changed.
Mark
I assume it's a "sleep where you pass out" kinda night, right?
Mini putt is fun, but oh so far away from everything else. People are welcome to crash at my place - whoever wins can snuggle in my bed with me
Mark
Let me know if I've missed you, or if you're on the list if we can get confirmation
Mark
You missed me!
Can't. Fucking. Wait. For. This!!
Mark
Mark
But do you need a (mostly) sober scorekeeper/referee ??
Al
Absolutely! Much appreciated!
And you can always participate in the demonstration events (Is that what they're called when they don't count for medals?). Namely, side bets, and any other shenanigans we get up to!
Mark
Is there a contingency plan in case the weather is horribad or the outdoor venue is taken?
Drunk and wet? Here's hoping it doesnt, but I'll come up with back up plans that are fair.
