"Nay, a way of life..."

Here at camp we play this little game known as 'no nose goes' or just 'nose goes' for some. It's a brilliant game and woe be to those who don't know how to play! Here are the official rules as are stated on the official website. Glorious!

Basic Overview:
If your friend says, "Well, someone should clean up this mess," and quickly puts his finger to his nose, you should too, as he is playing the popular game of "nose goes". The last person to touch the tip of his or her nose is the person does the outlined task.

"The Golden Rules"
1.The Nosegozer must present a topic which he believes is undesirable to the entire party. For example, even though people may enjoy seeing a dry-ice bomb go off, no one wants to be the one who caps it. This is a nose goes situation.

2.The maximum time limit for the activity is 30min for only the most extreme cases. the average nose goes may take 2 or 3 minutes to complete, if not less. An extreme case usually involves clean-up (ie. after a massive party or explosion of household appliances).

3.The task must be relevant to the entire nose goes group. If necessary, the nose goes group can be reduced in size to encompass only those that the task applies to. For the task to be considered relevant, it must satisfy the following conditions:
-Everyone in the group must be capable of performing the task. If someone does not have the equipment necessary or is physically incapable of performing a task, they are exempt.
-Everyone must have been similarly involved in the events that led up to the nose goes proposition. Although a person may longer be participating in the original conversation, if they are are still part of the larger group, they are still subject to the rules of nose goes.

4.The task must be something that everyone in the group wants to see happen.

5.The task cannot pose an unacceptable risk to your, nor anyone else's well-being.

6.No money or personal property can be taken without the owners consent through nose goes.

Parting Words Of Wisdom

"The fear of rejection really kind of stunts your growth as a person. I mean, it's like a friend of mine says, who cares if you fail? Who cares if you fail? It's like babies try to get up and walk all the time and they keep falling down. If we just gave up, we'd all be crawling around." — John Rzeznik
