Another Case Of The Mondays

It was that day of the week again, Monday. It was actually exceptionally good for a monday. Nothing really all that special happened, but it was just a good day. I had to work right after school, which is OK since my school is literally 20 yards from my work. Well, at work on monday, I spent almost the entire night talking to my coworker Chad about World War 2 and the book Band Of Brothers. WWII fascinates me to no extent. His school has the only High School WWII class in the nation. All other WWII classes are college level, and only 11 students per year get to take it. So, he's lucky and I want to be in that class.

Later on we started talking about various camps we've been at or been counselors at. The subject of camp games came up and I was reminded of the game Silent Football. Silent Football is one of those games that sounds so stupid when you first hear about it but is one of the funnest games I have ever played. It's a Gentlemens game that boasts using politeness and punishment. This game is for Gentlemen only, so if you happen to be of the female, please skip this next part because I'm about to explain the rules here.

Ground Rules: This Is A Gentlemens Game.

1: NEVER tell a woman about this game.
2: Always refer to the leader of the game as Mr. Commisioner.
3: Always refer to the other players by their last name preceded by Mr.
4: Everyone must remain silent unless pointing out a mistake to Mr. Commisioner.

Moves Of The Game:

1:Thwack: The most simple move, it's a slap on the thigh in the direction you want to pass the ball, the ball moves only one person.
2:Pass: Raise an arm in the direction you want to pass the ball, the ball skips the person closest to you and goes to the next.
3: Shrug: The move is as it suggest, it sends the ball directly back where it came from.
4: Schmoedum: Bring your arm up to your face and point your elbow at the person you want to send the ball to, the move sends the ball directly to that person.

Rules Of The Moves:

1: Never Thwack the third Thwack, you will be punished.
2: Never do the same move three times in a row.
3: NEVER SHRUG A SCHMOEDUM! this is the second worst thing you can do, just behind telling a woman.

Punishments:

The punishments are basically made up by Mr. Commisioner. There are a few suggestions that Iwould like to make though. Always keep rubber bands at hand, they are very useful in this game. The Axehandle, put hands together and slam them down in a giant fist on the offenders spine. Purple Nurples are always great. Further on, make the punishments worse and worse. In the games I played, they went as far as to pull nipple hair out.

Try this game, it might be a little weird at first and you definately have to find the righ people to play it, but it's still the most fun game ever.
