The Games of the Second Laugh Olympiad

This year's Laugh Olympics proved a hotly contested and slightly bizarre series of events. Unlike last year, with an early winner, the second Laugh Olympics went down to the last event and the announcement of the final winner was a surprise to some.
I tried to take the chia sproutfit to its ridiculous extreme by covering a full-body stocking with the stuff. This difficult attempt proved only moderately successful. It was very difficult to get my body into this thing (through the neck hole) and the contorted efforts resulted in big rips in the suit and patches of chai falling off. People assured me that the rips and missing chunks only enhanced the effect. Maybe, but I would have preferred to have a sharp respectable-looking chia body suit.
The rub-a-dub contest was one of 15 events. It provided some of the better photo ops. Contestants were supplied with a bucket of water and a bar of soap. The victor was the one who used up the most soap in 3 minutes. The controversial winner was actually a woman (not pictured) who cleaned up using an impressive 35g of soap. Runner up when to Brendan, on the right, who used 34g. I am ashamed to say in my test run I only managed 19g. Outkast's tune "So Fresh and Clean" was blasted from deck speakers to add to the overall effect.

My brother's team, the Urohawks, came out with a very narrow win over the Lucky Cluckers, who seem to come in second at every event even though they deserve a victory.

I admit that the day after the Laugh Olympics I brainstormed a list of events for next year...and even wrote a whole a round of "Jeopardy" to use as one of the contests.
