Michael Phelps is to Olympic swimming what Matt Marx is to finding George & Sid.

Curses! Matt has won the past three weeks of our George & Sid competition. I’m challenging the last two weeks. I refuse to award the full 30 points accumulated until he undergoes some sort of independent performance enhancing drug testing. When it comes to hiding and finding plastic toy lizards, Matt is a little too good at it, if you know what I mean. We suspect foul play (in fact, Tiffany has officially called shenanigans). Follow the jump and decide for yourself…

If you’ve seen the blog in recent months (what am I saying? The blog is only months old.) You may recall a post about George and Sid, the plastic Komodo Dragons adopted by Matt and Charlene. They’ve become somewhat of an internal mascot among the group. So, like all good things in this office, we’ve turned George and Sid into a competition. Here are the rules:

1.) Each Monday, George and Sid will be hidden around this office.

2.) The “hider” may NOT hide George and Sid in a drawer or cupboard. Furthermore, George and Sid should be somewhat visible in their hiding spot. How visible is “somewhat” visible? Well, that’s open for interpretation by the hider.

3.) George and Sid must be hidden together.

4.) If George and Sid (remember, hidden on Monday) are not found by the end of the day on Friday, the hider gets 10 points.

5.) However, if George and Sid are found during the week (or at least by EOD Friday), the finder gets the ten points. If two people find George and Sid at the same time, they can split the 10 points or battle it out in an arm wrestling competition.

6.) The finder will then hide George and Sid the next week. If George and Sid are not found by EOD Friday, then the hider can decide who hides George and Sid next.

Any questions?
