World's Strongest Man

Such a bad picture of me...

Nothing like a snow day to get you watching some obscure television. ESPN2 changed from hilarious sports journalist banter including unnecessary yelling to the world's strongest man competition in the blink of an eye. I actually like this stuff. Tossing boulders over walls, pulling buses with pure brawn, and carrying a car chassis as far as possible are some of the amazing feats of strength these brutes showcase. Here's an idea though, a Regular Guy Strong Man Competition, that any everyday schmuck can participate in. Some possible events are as follows:

The Notebook - competitors watch The Notebook, are given 100 points and a point is subtracted for every tear that falls from their eyes.

Mother-in-law - competitors must sit at a table with their mother-in-law and the one who sits there the longest wins.

Hot chick/Dumb Story - competitors listen to a hot chick tell a really dumb story, the one that doesn't slap her by the end wins points.

Sitting in Traffic - competitors are forced to sit in endless traffic on a road with little to no scenery and only political talk radio available on the radio. Whoever contains their road rage the longest wins.

Barbecue - the final round pits two competitors against each other in the greatest backyard manhood challenge of them all. Competitors are graded on speed, quality, and quantity of their barbecue prowess in a timed event. Ingredients include chicken, beef, vegetables, sausage, and fish.

What are some other possible event ideas for the Regular Guy Strong Man Competition ? Let me hear them.
