Hello all,
I'm an IT manager for a city in Washington State. Every year we hold an annual awards banquet to honor outstanding employees in various categories. Safe driving, money saving ideas, attendance, years of service...
It use to be done prior to Christmas, thus resulting in a holiday theme and decorations most years. For various reasons, it is now done after the first of the year. Anyway as a way of keeping it interesting, a new theme is choosen each year. Two years ago it was the 60's, last year Caribbean escape, and this year is the Winter Olympics. (thing back to your senior prom and homecoming days, same idea, but as adults)
This year they have requested I MC the thing and come up with some Winter Olympic related bits/skits/spoofs. I am thinking of using the storyline/angle that just like countries get turned down for hosting the Olympics, like Chicago, they Olympics committee also reviews and turns down several new event suggestions each year.
So i was hoping you guys could come up with some "turned down" funny events that could demonstrated on stage by some of management. Sort of redneck winter games, but also politically correct amounst a wide range of people. (from Street workers to the mayor)
So far, i have icey potato sack racing, lick the frozen lamp post event, and bath tub luge.
So any humorus, easily acted out, with minimal props, without killing anyone or buring down the banquet hall suggestions?
Thanks in advance
Jesse
