I have some more photos from the ”scissors dance competition” in Peru and since I don’t know much about this event, I’m going to have to do some guessing here. Running with scissors is synonymous with ignoring parental advice, so this could be an entire extravaganza devoted to disregarding parents. Upcoming games at the festival might include:
- Standing under a tree in a thunderstorm
- Sticking a fork in the electric toaster to pull out a slice
- Touching the ignition of the family Pontiac while Mom is in the bakery
- Making a nasty face that might freeze that way, just like this boy in the newspaper
Obviously, nobody could survive such foolhardy behavior, but but next year there will be a new batch of naughty people trying again. Meanwhile, use Post a Comment to suggest other events:

Here’s my list…
peeing without lifting the lid (and without aiming)
running naked through the house after a bath
sticking a safety pin into an electrical outlet
hiding a little brother in a drawer and then refusing to divulge the location when the muffled screaming begins
answering every question with “Aye, lassie.” or “Argh!”
writing your name inconspicuously on every wall of the house
and here’s last night’s drama… becoming so frustrated with a game that you squeeze the top half of a Nintendo DS and shatter the LCD screen but keep it a secret by pretending to suddenly prefer playing the Gameboy SP that the DS replaced.
There. Are you happy now, Bob? You’re right. I do sound bitter.

Reading in the dark,
Sitting too close to the TV,
Eating raw cookie dough (”The eggs will give you worms!”
Leaving a shoelace untied,
Wiping back-to-front,
And finally, riding your bike down the middle of the street.
Maybe they should name the party the “You’ll Put Your Eye Out Festival” or the “Celebration Of It’s Always Fun Until Somebody Gets Hurt.”
- Posted by CDMVery nice one. Thanks for contributing, and I’ll see you next year at the “If everybody else jumped off the Empire State Building would you? Festival….

Running with Scissors,
followed by
Jumping into an Ice Cold Lake (team sport) and Swimming Right After Eating,
followed by
Riding a Bike Down the Middle of the Street
Half-time entertainment could include Coin Swallowers.
