Team Name

Every year my company will have an Olympics where every team will have to send their best sports men and sports women to participate. It is fun because not only do we get to participate in the sports, but also to choose a name for the team and also to dress up(sounds girlie).

The theme for last year and this year is Super Heroes. There are tonnes of famous super heroes and it is an easy and fun theme to go with. There were 4 teams altogether, The Jedis, The Incredibles, The ThunderCats, and the most unfortunate The Avengers. And I was one of the unfortunate ones.

The other teams at least had some sort of costume to dress up in or even carry or wear accessories (light saber, swords, eye mask). The Avengers however is baffling. What do we dress up as??

Seriously I haven't watched The Avengers before and why are they even considered super heroes?!

This was our team. Yes, it is sad that we had to wear party eye mask. But what to do???!!! a cock name as our team name makes a bluebird(translate into hokkien) team.

This year however we decided not to be mocked at. We are changing names and changing leaders! Through much brain storming, we came up with an awesome team name, The Spartans! We are well prepared, well organized and well motivated. The name was inspired by the movie 300 which was a super awesome movie.

Everyone is psyched about the brand new name that we have changed. Even our leader who coincidentally is named King (which makes him King of Sparta) is keeping his facial hair just to look like King Leonidas. The body, oh well, could take years of training for that. We've just decided to fake the abs by drawing the contours using tanning powder.

The Oracle is an interesting character to portray, but we wouldn't want too much of nudity. I don't think anyone would want to be draped only in a piece of thin curtain.

It would be hard to dress up as the queen as well. Too much exposure. However, if we do, I guess we would win the best dressed and best team spirit. Who wouldn't award someone for dressing in that piece of cloth!

It is going to be interesting to watch the Spartans in battle. We even have our battle flag with a killer logo. All we need right now are spears, shields and daggers to complete the team's costume.

Shall update with pictures of the dress up event. Would be interesting to see a half naked King, Queen and the Oracle!
