Memorial Day Field Day/Fair

[x-hawkeye.livejournal.com]

So Adrienne and I were talking while shooting things with arrows this afternoon and we thought, since Memorial Day's coming up this Monday, it'd be fun to do a Field Day/Fair type thing so everybody could get together and have fun. Like three-legged races, bean bag tosses, a dunk tank, food eating contests, egg races, climbing contests, obstacle courses, rock climbing, ultimate frisbee, baseball, archery. We're taking ideas for other stuff, so feel free to make suggestions. Also, lots of food, mostly grilling, and swimming in this lake people keep telling me about if it's warm enough. Or there's a pool, right? So loads of stuff for everyone to do. Everybody should come. Yes, there will be alcohol for people who're legal.

Well, I could be persuaded to do something with a dunk tank. Only caveat is that I may cheat and would need to have some wine or beer near by.

More like dRunk tank, amirite? ;-)

Why Mr. Ramsey, I did not know you were so keen on also being part of the dunk tank! By all means, let us sign you up.

Do not forget - I get first dibs. Kisses!

Um...there's that whole sudden water thing? Y'know, for which I spend a lot of Emma's money on therapy?

:/

Douglas, as if I'd let you go down past your shoulders. Really - chaos manipulation is worthless if they let your friends panic in a drunk tank.

(Seriously, darling, trust me. Let me throw balls at you. It will be fine.)

[x-cypher.livejournal.com]

Let's face it, you really just want to use your balls to get me wet.

;-)

(It's the sudden thing - maybe if we could rig a delay so I know it's...hurr hurr...coming?)

That about sums up our friendship. ;) (did I do the smiley face thing right?)

I am more than certain we could rig something up to get you nice and wet without being completely submerged. I mean, I could not, my construction days are well behind me but someone could.

I'm in. I'll be the topless adonis, tanning.

I really have nothing else to contribute. Unless you need pies. I can bake pies.

[x-cypher.livejournal.com]

*sigh* My therapist is basically telling me to do the thing, so.

[xp-blackcat.livejournal.com]

High five, tanning bros!

[x-scarletwitch.livejournal.com]

So we will do the thing! And it will be glorious!

[x-hawkeye.livejournal.com]

Please bake lots of pies. I think there's going to be a contest to see who can eat the most. Also, hot dogs. And possibly eggs?

[x-hawkeye.livejournal.com]

I think we can make this whatever kind of tank you'd like, breakfast friend.

Well now! A wine dunk tank is the things that dreams are made of. Mostly my dreams. (Though the sad reality would be that it is a waste of good wine and a terrible thing to happen to my swimsuit.)

[x-scarletwitch.livejournal.com]

Eggs? That sounds rather less fun than pies. Why eggs?

[x-hawkeye.livejournal.com]

We could give you a bottle of wine and every time someone dunks you, you get a drink. Or maybe just every time someone dunks you, you get a bottle of wine.

I think because if you hard boil them, then peel them, the idea is to eat them without actually using your hands?

[x-wallflower-.livejournal.com]

I'll be there if you panic. It helps to have a girlfriend like me. :D

[x-wallflower-.livejournal.com]

Pudding tank!

[xp-angel.livejournal.com]

If you're nice, I'll let you put the lotion on my back.

[xp-angel.livejournal.com]

I agree with Wanda -- eggs is an odd choice.

I'll simply make custard pies and kill two birds with one stone, as it were.

[x-hawkeye.livejournal.com]

But custard pies aren't good for eating contests! C'mon, bro. We need like pecan and cherry and apple and blueberry and rhubarb and pumpkin.

[xp-blackcat.livejournal.com]

I think your reward system is broken.

[xp-angel.livejournal.com]

Fine. I'll rub your back. Tomatoes, tomahtoes.

Isn't the point to get as messy as possible? No one goes into eating contests to get full, do they?
