Free Stuff

Price: $.40 (one stamp)

This is a little sketchy, but kind of funny nonetheless. When I was younger, I wrote a letter to 3M and told them I was doing a science experiment and wanted to know if they could send me different kinds of tape they had. They immediately sent me tons of different tape with an understanding that I would send them the science experiment after I used it. I think this would be a funny, although somewhat unethical, thing to do if you're bored. Yes, I am saying pose as a kindergartner. Hopefully you can come up with something better than 3M tape though.

Wikipedia Labyrinth

It's a rainy day or you just feel like being inside on the computer. Here's a game you which requires TWO of more computers and a few creative thinkers.

Here's the game: WIKIPEDIA LABYRINTH

Start at wikipedia.com

Each team starts out on the same web page. For example: POOP

The next step is to think of another site that is completely un-related to the starting site.

For example: Christopher Columbus

Now the object of the game is to get from the POOP page, to the Christopher Columbus page with out typing on the keyboard and using only the linked words on the wikipedia page. It's a race to see who can get there first! It's an easy fun game to play when you're stuck inside or partying with a group. Make teams and have a blast crawling through the web.

Presidents and Assholes

This game is played by any amount of people. The more the better. You deal out all of the cards. Every man and woman for themselves. The only special card is the 2. The 2 is seen as a block or a "clear." To start the game, the player with the 3 of clubs starts. The next person must play the same number or higher. The next person will then play something the same or higher than that card. Some special rules:

1. Ace is high
2. Two cards of the same number counts as one card (higher than a King or Ace). Ie. two 3's is higher than one Ace
3. Playing the same card as the previous person skips the next person.
4. If, at any time, you have the remaining cards that will complete a set of 4, you can play them out of turn. Ie. if there are two 4's on the table and you have the other two 4's, you can play them out of turn. Once you play them, the cards are cleared and that person starts the game up again by playing any card they wish.
5. a "clear" or "2" clears any pile of cards and that player starts the game up again by playing any card they wish.

Game is best played this way, with no other rules. All of the other rules that I have played with only give advantage to the winner or loser. If you are playing with punishments, you DON'T WANT ADVANTAGES!
