Coming to an office near you (you hope): Faceball


Man, do I ever envy those folks at flicker. It appears they have concocted a new corporate office sport. Two players seated ten feet apart try to hit each other in the face with a beachball. Sure, not a lot of redeeming social qualities, but when else would you be able to smash a co-workers face in with a hugely round object.

They could easily turn this into a bloodsport by replacing the squishy beachball with something more menacing. Say a ten pound bowling ball. Or perhaps an Olympiad styled, spike encrusted shot put. This alone would be a sure-fire hit with the World Wrestling Federation crowd, ensuring a long life in the down-home, small-town, southern touring circuit and well-paid repeats of pay-per-view.

They even had time to produce an instructional video and mini documentary (which is the real source of my envy).
Don't take my word for it, jump to faceball.org.
