The games of the 3rd Manlympics

Here are the games, I have some tweaking to do, but this should give you a place to start practice. When I say "practice" I mean take off work all next week.

- Mystery (This will be a surprise, and will happen first thing Saturday morning)

- Atlas Throw (Boulder toss, measurement taken from the distance thrown thru the air, roll DOES NOT count)

- Football Punt (Total distance through the air AND on the ground, Roll DOES count in this event)

- Clay Target shooting (5 shots and 5 clay targets)

- Paper Target accuracy (Target points are added up after 6 shots from a distance of 10 paces)

- Guitar Hero 3 (Pick a level, pick a song, points from the game determine placement. Key takeaway, if you fail the song, you will be awarded no points. there will be time to practice if you need it)

- Relay race (Similar to the 1st weekend of men, events will be revealed Saturday)

- Written test (A random sampling of Manly trivia and knowledge)

- Bocce/horseshoes tournament - (Placing from the tournament determines points. We can do both horseshoes and Bocce, or just one. Place your vote in the comments)

What we will need:
Brandon England, Horseshoes, Bocce balls, a football, Guns, Ammo, Clay and paper targets. I will supply everything else.

If you have any suggestions for other games, you should win and do it differently next year. As John Locke said on Thursday's Lost, "This isn't a democracy, it's a dictatorship." OK, not really, but I wanted to use that line.

Obviously The Duke is up for grabs, but I have prizes for 2nd & 3rd place this year. They don't kick as much ass as the Duke, but they are pretty funny.

Now, what say you!?
