World's Biggest Snowball Fight....LET'S GET IT ON!!!

For those of you who were at Queen's last year and knew me, you may have heard of our plan to host a mini-golf tournament in our house (9 holes running through most of the rooms, the backyard and the porch) to go out with the biggest bang as Queen's undergrads. You will have also heard because of landlord issues (i.e. them doing their jobs) it never came to fruition.

Like Hugh Dillon, Here's my chance for redemption.

My friend Matt was telling me how this American university held the record for the world's biggest snowball fight and how we as Canadians should be the ones with that title (not Anti-American, just the fact that we are more of a "snow culture" than they are, whatever that means...anyways, besides the point).

With a little research, we found out the actual Guinness Record is held by 2472 Swiss. As Matt says, "the Swiss of all people do not deserve a record that involves any type of fighting of any sort."

So, we figure, we could organize a campus-wide event at Queen's that will surpass the Swiss record. This will take a lot of work and a lot of cooperation and a lot of coordination. But we are willing to work our butts off to make this work. Imagine the picture of 3000 students facing off against each other. At a set time, all 3000 snowballs will be in the air towards a particular victim...err, target. What an epic battle would this be? Think of the campus legend this event could become? We could get a lot of media exposure and it would just be a fun event for all the students. We could even turn it into a charitable event. If it works this year, we could expand it and have cross-institution event (say, Queen's vs. RMC).

The Possibilities are Limitless. Give me this chance!
