This is the first of our "silly games", "forum/post games", "things to do when bored" or whatever you want to call them. In this particular game, the objective is to gather a list of funny things to do that are free (cost no money) and preferrably are fairly easy to perform. Random fun, if you will. I'll kick off with ten examples. Note that it's preferred in these type of games that you don't post twice in a row (though I suppose we're a small enough community that you can do so occasionally when you have a really good one).

1. Trying to name what you see when your eyes are closed.
 
2. Talking to yourself in front of other people.
 
3. Tell an Egyptian man you are prepared to negotiate the price to wed your daughter.
 
4. Telling people you were born on friday the 13th.
 
5. Asking a beggar to give you $49,95 change while giving him 50.
 
5b. When the beggar says he can...
 
6. Shaking your head in a nodding way
 
7. Answer everything someone else or yourself says with "And a cucumber."
 
8. Raise your finger in a restaurant to ask if you can go the toilet.
 
9. Getting airsick from playing Flight Simulator.
 
10. Annoying your DM.
 
Let's hear what you guys can come up with!

"Then shall the last battle be gathered on the fields of Valinor. In that day Tulkas shall strive with Melko, and on his right shall stand Fionwe and on his left Turin Turambar, son of Hurin, Conqueror of Fate; and it shall be the black sword of Turin that deals unto Melko his death and final end; and so shall the Children of Hurin and all men be avenged." - J.R.R. Tolkien, The Shaping of Middle-Earth

18. Find something that isn't high enough off the ground for it to hurt if you fall from it. Jump off it, with a run-up if possible. It's suprisingly entertaining.

19. Climb trees. Not very original, but it is one of my favourite activities :)

20. Hang from a tree in a park, wearing only a thong and two peices of buttered toast over your nipples. Beat your chest and scream at passersby. When you arrested and tested for alcohol/drugs, you will suprise the police by being entirely sober and lucid. They will think "Wow! What a guy!"

Incidentally, someone I know is planning to do that last one, and film it for a music video.
