Have you ever played Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon? For those of you who missed the nineties, Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon is based on a variation of the concept of the small world phenomenon and states that any actor can be linked, through their film roles, to actor Kevin Bacon. The game requires a group of players to try to connect any film actor in history to Kevin Bacon as quickly as possible and in as few links as possible. (Thanks, Wikipedia)
A friend of mine and I play a take-off of this in our email subjects, tying one to another, changing it at random throughout the day. Please see below.

French Indian War

Navajo Down
First Down
First Born
As if that one wasn’t bad enough, we continued through the week with this strange new form of entertainment.

Do you play silly games at work to keep yourself entertained? If so – by all means, share them with the rest of us!

Well since I no longer go to an office my playmates are few.
But back when I was gainfully employed, around Easter we used to have Peep Wars. We'd let the marshmallow Peeps dry out until they were pretty hard and then we'd lob them over the cubicle walls at each other and try to be very quiet so no one knew who got whom. We'd even sneak into other's cubes and throw from there to be sneaky. We'd find those damn peeps all year hiding under a file cabinet or behind a printer.
One year we decorated our Peeps with marker as warriors and then put them in the microwave to see whose lasted the longest.
Good times, good times.

Well, since my office was a room of about twenty-five eleven and twelve year olds who were supposed to be there to learn something, we didn't do anything like that...but it sounds like fun :).
