Figured since this board was getting a little dry, probably needed some entertainment. Would be curious as to what everyone's favorite office game created ever is.

Personally, fan of bucket ball where two garbage cans are treated like hoops and must bounce the ball into them from your workseat.

If you have a little bit of a group in close quarters, a fun game is to come up with two topics that are completely unrelated but both have wikipedia pages. The goal is to navigate from one page to the other using only the embedded links within the pages. First to do it wins.

Sounds like an electronic Kevin Bacon deal.

Dry ice bowling. Shooting pipette tips at one another, into baskets, etc. is fun too.

Don't know if anybody else here follows high school football closely… But if you do you may be familiar with Joe Eitel who does the weekly Harbin point calculations. On his website, when you look at the profile for any team there is a list of their opponents for the entire season. If you click on any of the opponents it takes you to that teams page.

I once worked with a few others who were big high school football fans and I would give them a say a d1 team from Cincinnati and tell them to click their way to finding say a D5 school in Northeast Ohio. Fewest clicks won.

Probably not for everyone but it takes a good knowledge of the geography of different schools, their conference affiliation, common opponents etc.

Also definitely played the Microsoft office screensaver bouncing logo game long before they did it on The Office! Goal was to see the logo land perfectly in a corner.

Since my office is in my home....when working late - split screen ESPN3 and whatever mindboggling spreadsheet I'm working on. Hoping for a win on both.....

I do know Joe's site and that's a good one!

That is how I decide on what game I am going to or how I research teams in IN. Harrel's board lets me click on a team and go down their schedule and click on another and then down their schedule.... http://indianahsbasketball.homestead.com/files/boysteams.htm


never argue with idiots, they bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.

Winter comes and asks how you spent your summer.....

The game loves and rewards those who love and reward the game

My brother and I do the opposite. We start with a topic in the morning and then at the end of the day tell each other where we ended up and how we got there.
