Apparently red food colouring in maple syrup is good for blood....

Yea, make sure only one person wins and the rest loose. As for 50 thousandths of a dollar, thats like nothing, give them like a voucher for Toyworld or something for the winner that he or she can really look forward to..

cheers,

163423 2003-07-29 06:23:00 How about a contest to see how many can successfully flash the BIOS on your PC, Robo? That would be scary enough? godfather (25)
163424 2003-07-29 09:40:00 I suppose you searched on Google. Quite a few of them said that they videod theirs and the kids really enjoyed viewing the funny bits later.

Does embarrassment count, get sent to bed (cot) like a baby complete with baby's bonnet, dummy, bottle etc.

163426 2003-08-07 21:18:00 Sorry., should have said.

Started with pass the parcel. None of those PC ones where each layer has a present. The thing in the middle was half a pig's head. Was hilarious.

First real event was getting flags, as many as they could find in the back garden in three minutes. Everyone was kept away until they had their turn and then they could sit on the trampoline and watch the others. 16 flags to find, 10 were gained by three contestants, they shared a box of Favourites.

Second event, eating. A bucket full of polystyrene beans and some marbles. The marbles meant: liver, sheep's heart, lambs tongue, anchovies, dry weetbix, brussel sprouts (undercooked a little to be crunchy). Three bonus marbles were kitkats. The spotty marble was one of everything of the first five, and the golden marbles was for six live baby snails (there was no golden marble but it provided some suspense).
Four kids ate everything on their plate (they had to take five marbles). Most had a good go. The weetbix was the hardest to eat. A few nearly choked, nobody vomited. Fastest got a box of favourites again.

Third one was the vomit minefield. A path about 20 feet long. Vomit made from porridge, mixed veges, sardines, two large cans of jellimeat, and everything in the fridge that needed throwing out. They had to cut a raw onion into quarters, then carry it one quarter at a time in their mouth through the minefield on their hands and knees and drop the onion in a bucket at the end and return for the next one. The faster you go, the bigger the mess. I think this was their favourite event because they could watch each other. Only took them around 35 seconds to complete, but many wanted to do it again......
Fastest got a box of favourites again, and was the same one that won the eating.

All in all, it went pretty well. Nobody got hurt and many needed to use their change of clothes. Dirty, tired, and not really hungry for party food, they sat down and watched a movie.

I thoroughly recommend this theme for any boys in the 8-15 category.

By then, Fear Factor will be a long gone forgotten tv program!!

Your kids wouldn't have a clue what all these stuff was for, but if you're keen on doin that in 15-20 years, you could tape some episodes of Fear Factor, to show it to them, eh?

Wonder what the future brings for TV programmes . . . ? Like at the moment there seems to be a craze with reality-type tv progs . . .
