The challenge thread

[Nightshade]

I thought I might as well start this, This the challenge thread, every month a challenge will be issued the first one is obviously :

hey guys (including girls), let's do something stupid and manly :)
let's take cold showers for a couple of weeks and see who lasts longest. You can use some hot water to wash your hair, but appart from that you're only allowed to take cold showers (no, you can not have a hot bath, either!).

1 week= lukewarm lurker
2 weeks= snowflake in June
3 weeks= slush (= the litnet guys :D )
4 weeks= icicle
5 weeks (+) = polar bear cubs (= Sleepy and the girls!!!!:lol: )

girls back me up!!! (Scher, drama, I'm sure it saves energy and helps protect the environment, not to mention the health benefits)
start tommorrow, Jan 12?

Anyway rules:
You dont have to join in but everyones welcome, and you dont need to do every challenge.
If you want to sgest a challenge do so by the 5th of the month so we have time to think aboput it and start on the 12th.
A challenge doesnt automaticall end when we start a new one we just stop focusing on it.
No dangerous or risky challeneges
but most importantly of all, anyone who suggests diet or any other form of wieght loss scheme barrig a little excersice, will be fed to flesh eating smilies

Same for me, but I'll put my credit on the girls' account anyway :D ;).

[Stanislaw]

3 quatloos on the girls winning!

[Schokokeks]

Thank ye, Capt'n, your support is greatly appreciated :D.

[SleepyWitch]

neat idea for a thread, Night :)

i love silly challenges :) how about something that envolves chili peppers?:D

[Virgil]

Boy this will be interesting. Seems like everyone is trying to be manly around here. What ever happened to the supposed feminization of our culture? ;) All I can tell you when it comes to cold showers and hot chili pepers I'm a wimp. I used to go to a mexican restaurant that was frequented by U.S. Marines (soldiers) and on the wall were records of crazy amounts of peppers eaten. I don't remember exact numbers, but something like Private So-and-So ate 50 jalepenos in a minute on this date. Now he may have been a manly man but I bet he didn't have a stomach either. :lol:

Seems like a fun thread, Night. :D

:flare: :bawling: :sick: :sick:





:D I did that one before. :D

[Nightshade]

Im not so good with chilipeppers although chili powder I do like in extreme moderation.:D
I guess Id have to opt out if we chose that one as I cant have the milk afterwards, although come to think of it surley the curry mile is the best place to learn??:D

[kathycf]

Seems like a fun thread, Night. :D
I bet he didn't have much of a brain either to undertake something like that...:p I prefer a "softer" challenge myself. So much for me being manly...:lol: So what are we going to do? Cold showers are out for me...

[Madhuri]

So, is anybody taking any challenge now??

[Taliesin]

Going to sauna regularly would be cheating, wouldn't it?
:p
And we don't want give up sauna.

[mir]

how about this:

at least once every two days, go up and either say hi to or help out a total stranger.

[kathycf]

:blush: :blush: that wouldn't work for me, mir. I am always bothering people (strangers or otherwise) with my help, whether or not they want it.

I propose when we are next out with a loved one, we stop whatever we are doing and yell "I love you!" at them, thus reminding them of our feelings and also embarrasing the heck out them. ;)

[AimusSage]

how about this:

at least once every two days, go up and either say hi to or help out a total stranger.
I accept your challenge :nod:

It's an excellent challenge that is beneficial to all involved.

[Nightshade]

iy yi yi... Humm I do that on a saterday anyway.... oh well Im supposed to be learning to deal with people as part of my devlopment into a better more socially function human being so, why not?! :D

[Stanislaw]

that is my job...

...

well, how about...

Do not eat any candy/chocolate for a month...that would be a ChAlLeNgE

[Nightshade]

a whole month? Are you insane... actually I might be glad not to see another choclate for a while...Ughhh :sick:
Does crisps count as candy??

[Stanislaw]

well...I think just candy and chocolate...we should allow other junk food to fill the vacume though! :D

[AimusSage]

that is my job...

...

well, how about...

Hey! I liked the other challenge it was easy, considering I meet people daily :p

This one is a little more difficult, although, maybe you can specify what qualifies as candy? Not eating chocolate is easy. :D

[Nightshade]

well lets see, lollipops, sugarys sweets , sherbts, toffee.....

what else is there??

[Stanislaw]

mints...minty mints, tasty mints...and man what a dumb challenge I made...:D

count me in... er nope.. if crisps don't count as sweets then i think dark fair trade chocolate should count as medicine, ok? i mean, it's so bitter you can't really call it a sweet?
when does it start?

[Virgil]

OK. I need to do this anyway. I'm in.

:D dark chocolate is the best! :D

And the challenge starts now!

[Madhuri]

I can take this challenge :nod: This wont be that difficult, I like chocolates and candies, but dont eat these much, so it will be pretty easy for me. The only thing that bothers me is when one isn't allowed to do something, they want to do it even more :p :D

Now, as there is a restriction, I will be thinking of chocolates more and maybe wanting to eat more cholocates :D

The talking to stranger is a bigger challenge for me -- I just cant do that, I am no good at starting conversations. I dont have that kind of courage to go up to some stranger and say Hi. And if I have to do it every other day, I am sure people will think I have gone mad :p because I cant say Hi and just run away, there has to be more words. No matter how badly I want to talk to the person, I am simply useless at these things.

Hey Stan, give us a day atleast, so that all of us can have our fill and then start, perhaps from tomorrow. :D

[Nightshade]

:D dark chocolate is the best! :D

And the challenge starts now!

It does not!! Doesnt anyone read rules anymore...*grumble* * grumble* *grumble*.... chewing gum or breath mints dont count as sweets, but cake, doughnuts pasteries, etc all do.... Your only allowed out if somehow it would be rude to refuse.

[AimusSage]

This challenge is too easy, I just have to continue what I've been doing the last 10 or so years of mu life, only difference is I have to say no to people when they offer me candy, which I do most of the time anyway, I positively dislike candy in most forms, and don't care much for chocolate either.

[Nightshade]

Yes, I am nothing like your sister, For one, I'm not your sister, and secondly, I'm not a girl. :p You must indeed be delirious, are you sure you are alright?

But it's good to know you all love me :D It makes me feel all warm and fuzzy ;)

[Madhuri]

And Maddie good luck with the sweets and suguar

Thanks, Night!

I actually bought lots of chocolates and toffees today (I cant believe I am doing it), I think I have gone mad or something. My father asked me why did I get so many chocolates, was I getting it all for free....imagine free :rolleyes: :lol: (I have never bought so many chocolates before) :D

I told him, no, I bought all these and I am going to eat all of it :D (he must be thinking I am insane) :lol:

[Pensive]

No dangerous or risky challeneges

*disappointed*

What's the fun in games without risks? :p

[SleepyWitch]

:D dark chocolate is the best! :D

And the challenge starts now!

ooops, i completely forgot about the challenge and ate a chocolate muffin the morning after it started!

[Nightshade]

IT HASNT STARTE YET!!!!


:brickwall::brickwall::brickwall::brickwall:

[Nightshade]

[AimusSage]

Cool, and for my random act of kindness in this week, I will not openly enjoy my wonderfully exquisite dinners now that my housemate is on a diet, nor will I continually ask her if she want some too. :D :D Isn't that kind, but it's still random, so some days I might not be so kind, because then it won't be random anymore.

And I'm still on course for the challenge too. :)

[Nightshade]

Oh you meanie! You keep on ike that Aimus and you never know but Your food might end up on your head.

[AimusSage]

I'm only teasing her because I have no idea why she needs to diet in the first place. It's a girl thing I guess, because she's mighty fine and dieting can only make her less fine, but it's what women do, so she's doing it. :rolleyes: :goof:

[Nightshade]

hummm cant quite argue with that....

[thevintagepiper]

Ok, I'm going to join the no sweets. It's going to be hard, I tell you. I'm a chocoholic. At least it's not Starbucks deprivation...
How long are we going until? The rest of the month or for a whole month?

[Madhuri]

I join the challenge of no chocolates only for a whole month. Just to compensate, I will be having lots of spicy stuff now :)

[Virgil]

I will join too. When does it start?

[seasong]

OK! I'm joining! I'm scared though, I have no earthly clue if I'll make it. The candy part is no problem, but cookies and chocolate....They're so wonderful. However, I am determined :D.

[Nightshade]

it strted yesterday Virg, but you can join in whenever, also about the last challenge the cold shower thing... who kept on till the bitter end and who gave up (me ..well Iwas sick and I need to 'relax') anyway if your still doing it GREAT going http://www.websmileys.com/sm/fingers/fing22.gif

[Isagel]

Ok - I am in for two challenges. No chocolate or sweets for a month. i did not see this thread until today, so I hope yesterday does not count? Usually I eat chocolate almost daily, so this is a though one! Go me!

The kindness part I think I do at work, but I´ll try to get some done off work too...

But - I will not take cold showers or yell I love you. I have to draw the line somewhere.

[thevintagepiper]

Ok, I already can't do it. I'm such a wimp. I need my chocolate. But it's ok to be a wimp :)

Ok, I'll have to start today. I ate a mini chocolate bar that one of the secretaries had in a bowl on her desk for people. Ok, I won't lie, I ate two. :D

I didn't believe in that cold shower challenge. I hate cold showers.

[Madhuri]

Today I was so tempted to have an ice-cream, I just thought I would treat myself nicely, but I resisted :bawling: :(

[Madhuri]

Hey what happened to the challenge?

[hyperinsomnia]

You people are mad! Mad call I it.

[Madhuri]

:lol:

There is madness all around :nod:

[hyperinsomnia]

I would rather be without clothing or transportation! ... confectionary? It would be to give up one's life and everything that makes it sweet.

[Nightshade]

ha.. I forgot about it new challenge anyone??
