Well, this is what Dleg had in the 10 k thread:

I'm trying to come up with beer drinking games for this next weekend's annual "Beer Factor" Hash run. So far I've got:
1. Two Holes, One Cup: I am in possession of an inflatable love doll (don't ask), and the plan is to fill her nether regions with beer and baby ruth bars, flip her over into a container, squeeze it all out, and then the team has to consume everything in the container faster than the other teams.

(I'll save the next three as different posts )

Any suggestions?
 
not QUITE what i was going for. something to go with leftover birthday cake? or maybe sushi?

red or blue beer shots sound good...

How tight was your security at the test site? It seems like they went a bit overboard.
We had 1 proctor for every 20 people taking the exam, plus an additional 2 proctors enforcing the "no talking in the restroom" rule plus an additional four head proctors watching over the regular proctors.

The part that really suprised me if they had uniformed security there to watch over anything. He wasn't packing heat, but I sure would want to mess with him!

That's by far the tightest security I've ever seen at a test site. I took the exam in the Puyallup, WA location.
I took the test in Puyallup in 2000, and it sounds like they have clamped down a bit. I seem to remember about 100 of us taking the test and 4 proctors total - 2 who never moved from the check-in desk, and 2 who roamed around the room during the test. Thankfully, no bathroom monitors - it would stink to lose time due to "stage fright."

 
In my row of 20, probably 5-10 people had cell phones on them. The proctors were really nice (I'm in Seattle so you'd expect as much) but the head proctor made it really clear that they wanted. She very nicely told us she didn't want anyone to get booted because their cell phone "accidently" went off during the exam.
I think the cell phone is probably the biggest security risk in the exam. Technically you could go to the bathroom, lock yourself in a stall, and text problems with people outside the exam. I think it'd be stupid (you'd waste more time texting and the problems weren't hard to begin with) but I see the concern.
I have carried it in twice, but turned it off both times and shoved it deep in a jacket pocket. I have never heard one go off, nor have I ever seen anybody booted from an exam. I have seen one guy almost melt down when a calculator he used the first time he took the exam was no longer acceptable the 2nd time, and he had 2 of the same....oh, wait, that was me....oddly enough, the 3rd time I took it (last time) that same calculator was now legal again??? WTF?!

 
I did hear a cell phone go off during the exam! It was during the afternoon portion, too! I took the exam in Phoenix, in the Civic Center. The amazing thing was that the proctors never caught the person! It was coming from the front-center of the room, but no one could pin-point the exact location. And the proctors were swarming like sharks all around the location.

The examinee did what was probably the smartest thing and just let it ring... until it stopped. No one was escorted out and after it stopped ringing everyone went back to working the exam. It was truly stunning! The gods of the PE were smiling on that person that day... I could not imagine getting the boot during the afternoon.
