BAJR Top Trumps

[eggbasket]

No not that kind, you smelly lot!!!!:)

So, BAJR Top Trumps. We are allowed 6 categories as that is all that would probably fit on the Top Trumps cards. What should be included?

Beardiness
Beer Gut
Trowel Action
Soap Dodging Ability
Pairs of Combat Trousers Owned
Archives Deposited

Do these cover it or should we change some of the categories? Are there better categories instead? Should we replace some of the above with H&S Awareness or Sensitivity to Soil Changes or Cussing out the Supervisor? Should Over-cutting be in there? What about Missing The Edges? And how do we fit Curators into the set? So, how's about it, peeps? Let's have some ideas.

Cheers,
Eggbasket

How about:

Hairiness instead of Beardiness (let the girls compete on equal grounds)

Addictions instead of Beergut (to fairly include coffee and coke heads etc)

Skinability should come in somewhere (speed, one-handedness, strength of wind, rainfall etc)

[achingknees]

re trowel action - top trump would be those who could be ambidextrous....with two trowels!

re how many pairs of combies owned. That's difficult. Some take pride in one pair for every day in the week, while others believe it a virtue to have the same unwashed pair for years.

matrix complexity?

widest range of Munsell colours used on one site?

[Cautionary Tale]

Time taken to level dumpy :D

[Cautionary Tale]

I know its not strictly relevent, but I believe in giving steelies a proper burial. Last set even got given a brick crypt by a person who is now approaching dr-hood ;)
