Friend's and the awesome things you do with them.

Ryadic

I'm not talking about typical things like watching movies and going out and getting drunk. I wanna know what unique things you do to keep yourselves entertained.

So this is inspired by the awesome weekend I just had with my friends. One of my friends came up with the idea of a photo scavenger hunt. To make it interesting, the winning team got a prize. Not just any prize, but an awesome prize.



That's right. You get a belt that tells you just how much of a champion you are. And yes that fucker spins. We have now decided to keep that belt in a constant rotation. We're gonna come up with other awesome competitions for everyone else in our group of friends to have a chance of being a champion.

So what do you guys do for fun? Or are you just boring and play video games every night? And suggestions as to our next competition for the belt are welcome.

What's so boring about playing video games every night?

DarkPrimus

I play pen and paper RPGs because I'm old-school.

A friend created a Monopoly board based around our university course, which was pretty awesome.

I'm also going on a road trip around the north of Britain in the summer - a sort of Northumbria pilgrimage, going to places like Wearmouth-Jarrow, Iona and Lindisfarne.

Nothing really. It's pretty much expected that if you're on these boards, you play video games. No surprise there.

The spinner belt should be a symbol of mocking and derision. It's fucking John Cena's belt! It's also ugly as sin!

A friend and I bust out Contra for the NES every time he comes over for "Game Night". When we beat it, it's officially Game Night and we all drink and play video games until about 6am. It's awesome.

We have [X Food] parties.

On random weekend days we might have a French Toast party, a baked potatoes night, a chili night, etc. Everyone brings a bit of the ingredients, and we spend the night making the most ridiculous versions of whatever we picked for that day while having a good time. The end.

We've started going to obscure heavy metal concerts. We've all been friends for a decade or so and didn't know we all liked this kind of stuff:/

Truth spews from this man's fingertips.

I have a tabletop grill, so last weekend we had a meat party. It was BYOM, so we got some good stuff.

But, fuck. We've gotten ourselves into a bit of a rut... especially since one retard is dating a 19 year old, so we can't hit the bars or go to the comedy club. Plus he's broke.

I need new friends. But finding and maintaining relationships takes way too much effort. This is where robots will eventually come in.

Organichu

My friends and I fuck violently in cleverly orchestrated orgies. We do this probably three, four nights a week.

actually I went away to school for one year (in which time my other friends went to other schools), and then I left school... so my HS friends are gone and so are my college friends. I hang out with my BJJ buddies that's pretty much just for recreational working out- a run after the gym or whatever. I need more friends.

Actually, this sounds pretty fucking awesome. I'll suggest this to my friends.

My friends and I make ridiculous little games out of whatever we happen to be doing. One day we painted the inside of one friend's house and we tried to see who could make the heaviest blue masking tape ball.

A couple weekends ago it was "who can fit the most cheez-its into their mouth at once". I came in 2nd with 25. First place was 26 but he ended up with some nasty cuts on the roof of his mouth. :P

All I can say is I live in a small town and we get bored really easily.

My friends and I invented a rather weird game. We used to roll around in a gold Buick on the regular. We’d take turns wearing a giant purple velvet pimp hat with a cheetah print band and some giant white sunglasses. When it was your turn you had to lean out the window and yell at some random people, the closer they were to the vehicle the better. “Crunk juice!”, “Yeah!” and “What’s up, bitches!” were fairly common. One time we were out some dirt road and saw a hiker. My buddy was smoking a cigar and driving the car. He slowed down, leaned out and yelled “Hey baby! You lookin' mighty fine! You wanna come work for me?!!!” and then wolf howled and sped off. He won that day.

You guys are jerks.

My friends and I collect running jokes. Shouting them out, or even saying them casually, gets a laugh.

The current running joke is "Don't believe Ondore's lies!" And associated phrases. What's nice is that it works in several situations.

Friend: I'm telling you this is the best show! (or something like that)
Me: Pfft, don't believe Ondore's lies.
(laughter)

Classic ones between me and one particular friend are the Ocelot Hand Gesture and the Mechanical Frog of Mockery.

By the way



I'm sorry

My friends and I get sears photos; I post them somewhat regularly.

Otar

Me and my buddy make horrible youtube videos often at the expense of my well being or our personal pride. And sometimes we go drifting weather permitting.

Just thought I'd say, this thread reminded me of the 2nd episode of Flight of the Conchords this season, and their great song

I used to have awesome friends/roommates. We played Halo together, Rainbow 6, Ghost Recon, and even did a lot of airsoft. All this was when I was stationed on Guam. Through luck of the duty rotation we all wound up on the security detail. Needless to say, the master at arms was surprised at how in sync we were without any training. And learning how to propely "breech and clear" was fuckawesome.

Shame I had to leave.

Doc

Worth noting is that I'm not wearing any white makeup in that photo.

A friend of mine and his brother each pick a team of their peers three times a year to compete in Football, Cricket and Pub Sports in a yearly best-of-three competition titled The Evans Challenge. It's in its fourth year, and still going strong. We've got scorecards, teamsheets and photos for most of the events, but the website (still) isn't constructed.

We take it pretty seriously. Cricket is a properly umpired Twenty20 game, and the Football is 11-a-side, 90 minutes, then 30 minutes extra time, and penalties if necessary. Two years ago the penalties went to 13 kicks .

We've never won, but this year it's impossible for us to lose (though we might draw the series, for the first time ever).

All it takes is a little initiative (no pun intended) to go out and find a local gaming store or just to ask around on campus to find interested parties (again, none intended) who'd like to play. Start by asking if they want to play a more well-known system, and then after a while maybe ask about your preferred but more obscure game.

I've had really good luck meeting roleplayers on meetup.com.

As for my friends and I, it's all sorts of shit. Wine-and-cheese gallery openings, trips to the local amusement park, bowling, barbecue, D&D, whatever. We're a fairly diverse group with a lot of different interests so we switch it up a lot; the only real consistent element is videogames and D&D.

Now it's exam term, me and my friends meet up in pubs of an evening to revise. It might not seem like much, but I get far more work done because I'm with other people who are working rather than trying to do stuff alone in my room with the Internet a click away. There's something wonderful about meeting in a cosy room, spreading our notes out on the table and studying with a pint and a pub meal.

Kagera

I don't have friends.

This is a very good thing for people who would be my friends because I'm a succubus of sorts.

I suck JOY out of people.
