10. Picnic Safety Picnic Safety Ants • beware they are hungry and if you threaten them, they will bite, and that hurts. You’ll need some sort of cream to make that pain go away. Keep food off the ground. That’s how we get ANTS!!! Frisbees • ever been hit in the head with a frisbee? Yeah, it sucks. So if you are playing frisbee, pay attention. If you are anywhere near ME playing frisbee, hide, that’s the only way you’ll be safe. Piñatas • people swinging at a pinata are blindfolded and disoriented, so they may mistake you for the piñata. Or they may have a terrible grip and let the bat go flying. Which will eventually fall, on someone.

20. 1st Contestant 1st Contestant Officers are not eligible for the $30. UPSET ALERT: 40$ WIN FAME, GLORY AND MANLINESS Growing a beard is an affirmation of manliness and masculinity. The beard itself is a physical characteristic that separates men from the boys, girls, and women. In our culture that has downplayed good old-fashioned masculinity, growing a beard shows that you are not afraid of being a manly man. You can reclaim a too-often-lost aspect of manliness by growing a beard1 1) TheArtofManiliness.com (2010). http://artofmanliness.com/2008/11/28/growing-a-manly-beard/
