Chap Olympiad...
Not sure where this one ranks in the Manosphere. The event list looks interesting...
This year’s 8th Chap Olympiad runs over two days, Saturday 7th and Sunday 8th July. Saturday’s events will run as follows:
1.00 The Pipeathlon: six contestants must complete a 10-yard course
using three disciplines – pipe smoking, cycling and being carried by
their servants across the finishing line.
1.20 Gentlemen’s Golf Club: contestants must hit a bowler hat into a large fishing net using a walking stick.
1.40 Swooning: one for the ladies. Chaps have to induce the ladies to swoon through any means possible.
2.00 Butler Baiting: teams of two (master and butler) must assemble a
wardrobe impressive enough to satisfy the butler, by running back and
forth between their master and a suitcase full of clothing.
2.30 Not Playing Tennis: contestants seated in armchairs play a game of
tennis without getting up. The tennis ball is suspended on a wire hung
between two hat stands.
3.00-4.00 During the interval, you will be entertained and educated
in the arts of Omnicombat – a variation on the 19th century martial art
of Bartitsu, or gentlemanly self defence with walking canes and
umbrellas. This demonstration will be made by Albion and his son Merlin,
both adepts. Albion has assured us that “We have no insurance cover,
but it is very unlikely that anyone will suffer serious injury or
death.”
4.00 Ironing Board Surfing. Contestants mount their ironing boards
and are carried over the finishing line by their butlers and
housekeepers.
4.20 Moustache Wrestling: two contestants must pluck a single hair from their opponent’s lip weasel.
4.40 Briefcase Phalanx: a line of ten chaps and chapettes, dressed for
the office and clutching briefcases and handbags, creates a phalanx.
Lone contestants must charge at them and try to break through to the
secretary on the other side, who is ready to type a letter.
5.20 Shouting at Foreigners: contestants must pit their gentlemanly
skills against a curmudgeonly, uncooperative foreign shop assistant.
5.40 Umbrella Jousting: two contestants, armed only with brollies and
briefcases, must go at one another on bicycles and attempt to knock each
other off.
Just another good reason to be thankful we won that war back in 1776 ish...
