Back it up

Recently our school ran an article in the paper about a game called “Back it up.” It may sound fun at first but just wait till you hear the rules. I have personally been involved in the game so I think it is only fitting I share it with all of you.

The game starts with a definitive statement. Then the person you say it to will tell you to “back it up.” You allot a certain amount of time to complete this task, or back it up. If you don’t do it within the time limit though there are pretty serious consequences. You have to pee your pants. As some students have found out, it can be quite humiliating because videos of them are being posted on YouTube.

The first youtube.com video I watched was quite funny. One guy said he could hit the high note in Seasons of Love from the movie Rent. Needless to say he didn’t make it. So he stood in front of an audience in the shower and attempted to pee his pants. He was quite nervous, as anyone would be in this situation, but he did it.

No one is used to peeing their pants because mom always said not to, but doing in front of your closest friends, while being videotaped is something totally different.

Another video showed a girl who actually followed through. She said she could drink an entire bottle of hot sauce and she did it. So some tasks are actually accomplishable but you better be sure before you say it.

Moral of the story is to think about what you say before you say it because it could really come back to haunt you!
