instead of wieners or normal, brute-strength tugging, we could also rope joust. rope jousting is a game which could only have been invented by nerds at MIT who were not even good enough to make the ultimate frisbee team as pony-squad alternates.
as shown by mccowan's hippie evil twin, you stand on a cement block, and your opponent stands on one 30 feet away. you have a rope between you and you either make them fall off their block or snatch the rope out of their nerdy hands.
Additionally, I think if we made a way lamer version of those super long wilderness races, it would be cool. Imagine this:
Andy Carl in a round inner tube signed by John Runyan with a single paddle, starting at the base of blue falls. He has to paddle furiously past the iron bridge where he hands off his Kirby Puckett wooden BATon to Dane (who is grabbing his uncircumcised penis beneath his spandex track shorts). Dane sprints to the road where a power wheels awaits his arrival. He drives the power wheels to the top of Miller hill, where the BATon is passed to a pasty-yet-splotchy bare-chesticled Nate Bauer. In the final stage of the race, Bauer ambles toward the finish line where he picks up a Nerf weapon and fires three shots at a target for additional points. The scoring would need to weight the skills and times evenly, but i think it could be done. Ponder it.
And also, suck a dick.

I have played this magnificent hippie game in my years of experience in outdoor adventure. I originally learned the game in the outback where we avoided toting cinderblocks around. the game was played by requiring both opponents to squat. In Vermont, the game is played at all of the camps in which I work and is called SLACKEM. There we play on wobbbly tree stumps. I think this is a great compromise.
As for the adventure race is there anyway we can find one of those pump action rail cars? I think a good sprint down the tracks on one of those see-saw action rail cars would be a great way to finish up.
