Last time HOP was involved with organising something at a courier event it was the Air Guitar checkpoint at the BFF Treasure Cat*. Responsibility has never been one of our strong points ( take Millpocalypse for instance ) but now there is research published in The British Medical Journal proving that you should never do anything we ask you to.
Head banging isn't strictly a requirement for Air Guitar, throwing The Goat and knee-sliding are both good manoeuvres, but almost everyone went down the bangin' road. In our defence we did offer an AOR option: Bon Jovi, which I would put into the Pop Music category, which is classed as 'safe' by the British Medical Journal but no one chose that track. So I think our arses are covered vis-a-vis any injury lawsuits. However any complaints should be taken up with the Bicycle Film Festival who sanctioned the overall event.
So if your planning on rocking out this yuletide remember: for a safe and injury free Christmas only head bang on every second beat.
It's nice to know that an Associate Professor** manages to fanny about doing as little useful work as we do, so we won't feel so guilty when it takes us two "full days of work" to print three teeshirts.
* Actually it was encouraging people to skid into flames at Team Awesome Day but for the purposes of this story we'll ignore that.
**We think that's one higher than a Phd.
