Always enjoy them....did an old one and one new one on New Year's Eve...
The old one was putting an empty cereal box on the floor with the top flaps cut off, you had to bend over and pick it up with your teeth without anything other than feet touching the floor. Each 'round' sees an inch or two cut off the height of the box to make it increasingly difficult. While my performance has deteriorated since the last time I did it I managed to reach the final rounds, finally bowing out when the box was about a third of its original height.
The new one involved drinking a pink gin based cocktail from a large balloon type glass through a straw as fast as possible.... but you could only use the straw as a vacuum I.e. The straw came out of the glass, bent over the edge and you started it with a quick suck and then let gravity take over. Very hard to do without laughing!
Next year may see the Classic standing in a line, tying a spoon that has been in the freezer to a long piece of string and passing it inside the clothing of the person next to you, first in at the neck and out of the bottom (trouser leg, skirt, whatever), next person from the bottom up and so on.
Such fun.
Any other belters out there??
