Extreme Congressional Debates. Arm Congress with a bunch of paint guns and have them go at it.
Paint guns?
While we were tenting in Moose Factory a young bear woke us up. Then some Cree kids started chasing it, and chasing it, and chasing it. The bear and the kids were having fun, but it seemed to me to be a stupidly dangerous game to play, so we departed the island.
Here are a couple of photos of the critter (2nd and 3rd pics down): Lower James Bay Moose River Photographsaphs
Which reminds me - - the 4th pic down was shot later that day in the plane that I fell out of when it started taxiing. I was strapped into the back seat, which was on rails inside the plane. When the plane started moving, the seat (with me in it) slid back down the rails, bashed into whatever it was that the pilot had stored at the back of the plane, and popped out of the improperly latched door onto the runway. I’m not certain if this was better or worse than having kids and a bear running through our tent site that morning, but it certainly was a unique experience.
We used to play beer can golf. Drink a beer and try to drive the empty can over the fence at the back of the yard. The first nine holes weren’t too bad, the back nine was more interesting.
How about a sport called like “Immunity Chasing”? The goal is to make physical contact with as many people who have infectious diseases as you can, without getting sick yourself.
The tentative record is held by one Art Shumacher, who “just didn’t know dem folks was sick.” Mr. Schumacher’s record is 23 people (18 of whom were in his family and living in his mother’s house.)

AKA paintball marker.
uses co2 or compressed air, or even N2O to project a hard gelatin paint-filled sphere. can shoot up to 300 fps (feet per second).
Freestyle Walking.
How does this work?
Is it people shooting as they are in mid-air, or people getting shot at while they are mid-air?

Feppty, I suspect ultrafilter knows what a paintball gun is and was wondering why anyone would arm Congress with something merely messy when it’d be so much more fun to see the jerks shooting each other with real ones.
But if we arm congress with real guns, they’d kill each other which would mean more elections. More elections means the board would become a real friggin’ mess. Messy board equals testy mods and who here wants that.
I always thought jogging would be better if you released large predatory animals on to the track.
Counter Strike/Unreal Tournament Shocker.
A shock collar is attached to each player in the game. Damage taken to each person is doled out via the appropriate voltage. Flesh Wound all the way up to incapacitated.
Combat Ice skating, nice sharp ice skates and tai-kwondo moves.
Figure scatting.
Combat Ice Skating! I like that one, Bippy. Finally, a sport that makes hockey players look like wusses!
Skydive Scramble - one 'chute, multiple contestants.
Bowling with Beehives - self explanatory.
Apparently the US militay likes my idea.
