Crazy things we do for fun
« on: March 30, 2011, 12:48:52 pm »
At the moment, I'm getting myself ready to participate in an annual trivia contest I've played since the early 90's.  I get together with friends to play a 54 Hour (yes, 54 hours straight) trivia contest up in northern Wisconsin.  We answer insane questions about things that almost go beyond trivia - it's more like the trivia of trivia.

But we have a great time getting together, having good food, lots of laughs and sleep deprivation - and we keep coming back each year to play this insane thing.

When I talk about this contest to new people I meet - they all thing the same thing: That's Nuts!


So that got me to thinking - what is the thing or things you do in your life that you enjoy, but the people around you think you are nuts/insane for doing it?

Sounds fun, except for the 54 hours part. What does the winner get?

I am getting ready to go to a trip to Vegas and I want to jump off the stratosphere. My friends all think I am crazy, but I think the rush of it would be insane. I am a thrill junkie!

Top 10 teams get a trophy.  First place also gets their team name inscribed on a traveling trophy.  They also get bragging rights for the year too.   ;D

Hey kapeh12 - always knew the severe cold will make you do crazy things.  Good Luck!

I thought the vegas trip sounded like a blast - haven't been for three years and it is my favorite place to party although I never had the guts to do the stratosphere roller coaster or the one at New York New York.  Ijust play lots 23 hours a day, eat and drink and spend time by the pool.  I think Vegas days are 36 hours long. Can't tell there are no clocks there.
