TToML 25: The Finale

Well guys, it's been great. I've definitely had lots and lots of good laughs remembering all of these stories. I hope you've gotten at least a couple chuckles out of it all.

And now I want to tell you about Challenge Points.

Last Winter, Lindsay and I saw our friend Collette's facebook status that told a story of some guys she saw in a hallway and one of them said, "Challenge point: penguin slide down the hallway." We thought that was awesome and McKensey and Marjorie were down. We made a scoreboard on a whiteboard in 109 and the game was on. Anyone could issue a challenge to someone at anytime, and that person was free to accept or decline, penalty free. In the end it kind of ended up being a tie, but I will now commemorate some of the best challenges that we earned points for.

Lindsay pinched Nick Tanner...'s butt.

McKensey penguin slid on actual ice.

Ben Evans (a later addition to the game over the summer) drank orange soda through a "straw" made of a Kraft Singles slice of cheese...and then ate the cheese.

I rubbed ashes all over my face once and ran around the quad and also ate many strange concoctions, including a TVP filled pancake.

But Marjorie takes the cake, easily. One night as we were gathered around the hot tub as we did quite often, I was staring at her sweaty socks that she had taken off and set down there on the ledge. I knew there had to be something awesome I could challenge her to do.

"Dip your sock in the hot tub, suck the water out of it, and swallow."

No hesitation.

And if you know anything about the RG hot tub, you know why that is deserving of an automatic win forever.
