Crazy Olympics

We had a large amorphous group of non-competitive relays that we lumped together under the label of “Crazy Olympics.” Whenever that term was used it was understood and everyone looked forward to it. Some sample events: “Low Hurdles” (the Limbo), “The Anti-dash” (who can go the slowest without stopping), “The Sleeping Bag Relay” (each contestant puts a sleeping bag over their entire body and runs to a destination and back, guided by the shouts of their team mates, blowing a balloon across the room with a straw, "Ping Pong Soccer" (for people with lower sensibilities: Ping Pong ball on a table, two teams on opposite sides.  They are to try to blow the ball off the opposing team's side.  A lot of spitting goes on...), "Discus" (with either a real Frisbee, or a playground spot) -- go for distance or accuracy; Javelin (with straws); "Balloon release" (contestants blow up a balloon and release it from a starting line, the balloon that travels the furthest toward the finish line wins.)
