mckenzie – yes, I may be :-)

mini driver – I find whisky always helps shut up a screaming child.

anavahavana – anything which involves champagne is good.

author312 – it’s a great game – underrated by most.

allykay – LOL. That would go down really well here on Bermuda – Gossip Central.

aimee – I am always in one of those competitions.

e.i. – Not sure about the marriage as an extreme sport, although I guess it is for some. I try to avoid chocolate for the obvious reasons…

Those who eat just one piece at a swallow and not the whole thing, are the definite winners! If you ask my best friend’s future husband, marriage to her is an extreme sport.

You're given a set amount of errands to run and then the clock starts... But you can't go until you are 10 minutes behind. Whoever can get the errands done first, wins. Extra points for finishing on time and for not freaking out when you get behind every person who drives waaaay under the speed limit. Points deducted when you pass those people, flashing "sign language" and yelling something about their mothers. Speed Errands.
