A friend of mine and her boyfriend have a bet concerning their respective favorite football teams and how well they do this year. She’s having a hard time coming up with a punishment clever and creative enough to be worthwhile. (Her own punishment, I might add) Because I guess the one she came up with for him was that he has to wear a loincloth and tiara and serve dinner to her girlfriends. She knows that if she doesn’t think of something good quick, that she’s going to wind up doing things that _ahem_ involve his friends and a video camera. I know the SDMB can do better. I need you to, because this may very well be entertaining for me, too! There aren’t a lot of guidelines here. These are some very open people. Thanks! 😃 ---

Make her wear a bikini and a big sphinx head mask. Tie her to a post. Fill a tupperwear bowl with different riddles on paper (answers on back). Have assorted buckets of raw meat. Then put a sign next to her that says “I am the great Sphinx, and have lost a bet. If I can’t guess your riddle, you get to pelt me with meat!” Hilarity ensues. Keep going until out of meat or riddles. ---

How about … she has to wear noting on top except colored saran wrap and visit at least one public building where people are present. I actually saw a young woman dressed like this once, a short skirt that barely hid her essentials, and just a couple yards of pink saran wrap wrapped around her body in the top region. ---

The loser has to wear a Lucha mask (seen [here](http://shopzone.wwe.com/Product_detail.asp?productId=17-00290&cartid=2004998582685826795) ) and large t shirt with the logo “winner/winner’s team rules” and have pictures taken. I’ll never make a bet with THAT person twice…_whistles innocently_ ---

Hardygrrl, I’d like to see the pictures! CC…this is good, if we can find a spot that she’s not likely to get arrested right off. Then again, she’s in Oakland, realllly close to Berzerkely, so it just might work. Pairing that with Filthy Beast’s meat gag… I know y’all are just warming up! ---
