IF THIS ISN'T PART OF THE LONDON GAMES IN 2012, THE OLYMPICS HAS TO TAKE A LONG HARD LOOK AT ITSELF


Everyday, we go through piles and piles of mail here at the office. Opening them is a time consuming process, and often what's written inside means more work for everyone. Some of the letters are very important, some are informational, some are outright junk.

And some, quite simply, make your entire day.



So many thoughts raised, I'm actually giddy. Having taken part in my share of college org sportsfest / office team building / village family day egg-related events, I've endlessly pondered: should you throw overhand for distance and accuracy, or do you go underhand for softer arc and less velocity? Should you catch with two hands for greater surface landing area (but increased likelihood of impact breakage), or do you attempt a one-handed snatch (and risk letting your chance run through your fingers, literally)? Finally, a place with goddamm answers!

And, yes, Russian Egg Roulette is as awesome as it sounds:

"Individual challenge against an opponent on a knock out basis.
Players sit opposite each other, across a table.
Each player wears a provided head bandana for protection. Inappropriate bandanas may not be worn.
The toss winner decides whether to go first or second.
A tray containing 6 specially selected eggs will be proffered. 5 hard-boiled, 1 raw.
Each player takes it in turn to select one and then smash the egg onto his or her own fore head until one-player finds the raw one."

(Although I would have allowed "inappropriate bandanas". You bad-ass enough to join egg Russian roulette, you bad-ass enough to rock any damn bandana you please)

It is now my official mission to find Pinoys in the UK who can join this thing and do us proud. Just like the Fil-Brit Azkals.

Egg, yeah.
