What the ...!? Who came up with the stupid idea to lick that thing? Probably myself...

Rolling, rolling, rolling. Not our most creative hour, but it does the job: joint losers rolling down the hill!

Here's another simple yet effective punishment: the loser runs around the house three times and gets hit on the colander each round. Boing! Jimmy obviously needs the excercise...

Meet Jimmy Tell, recent loser of another hard fought round. The winner got to shoot a pear (we were out of apples) from his head with a toy crossbow, but hit him in the (well protected) eye instead!

Owww - when you come up with a very creative yet rather painful punishment you really have to make sure you don't lose that round, which fortunately I didn't...

Due to unfair strategic play by one of my oponents, I ended up with a punishment that ironically I had come up with myself - having a raw egg smashed on the loser's head. It's good for your hair, though...

Holidays can be hard work if you play Cho Dai Dee. Jimmy needed about ten sacks of cement carried from downstairs to the side of the road. Each sack is 50kg when dry, but these have been left in the rain and felt like a solid 100kg! I personally carried at least five of these, but here we see Andre doing his share of the work...

Eventually - to my great delight - Martin lost a game as well and had to carry the last sack of cement. Not being quite as fit as he used to, he needed some help from Andre... Keep it up, boys!

This is a classic punishment at Jimmy's place: somebody's got to do breakfast and somebody's got to do the dishes. Danilo and Sabine preferred the latter...

Here's a tough one: after losing by a narrow margin, Nenita was forced to massage Jimmy's stinky feet!

Andre was hungry after a rigorous game of Cho Dai Dee. What better idea than to eat some grass and "mooooo" like a local cow!

We know how much he hates to lose - but you just can't avoid it sometimes! Here's Danilo cooling off at a scenic lake in Zermatt.

If there's ever been two keen Cho Dai Dee competitors in the history of the game it must be them: Olivier and Frances. Shame then that they lost this game, leaving Frances in the embarrassing position of having to milk her husband - literally!

That cow costume was really an amazing investment! Check out Reto helping innocent people into a cab - say mooooooooo!

Thomas is new to the game - but learning fast. Here we see him enjoying a can of Foster's curtesy of the game of all games: Cho Dai Dee!

Yes, it's as cold as it looks! This stream drains straight out of a glacier at some 2000m above sea level. Very refreshing punishment...

Who let the trash out? Nick makes himself useful and carries the rubbish into town, wearing a silly bucket for general ridicule!

Push-ups! An old Cho Dai Dee punishment favorite. Slight twist here: note the very pointy gravel which is not kind to Nick's hand and feet.

Know that butt? A very painful punishment as the author of this site had to stick his naked arse into this pointy gravel with additional force being excercised from the top. A brilliant punishment thought out by myself... what irony!

It's Jimmy's turn for a midnight shower with the hose! At least he's clean now...

Finally Danilo is getting his fair punishment! 30 seconds under the icy fountain water! Ahhh, refreshing!

Regular guest and contributor to this site, Martin, helping with the heavy-duty work by carrying twenty bricks into Jimmy's grotto, wearing the Official Punishment Bucket which is being hit religiously every time he passes. GONG!

Author and name-sake of this website getting hosed down in the nude after a stunning defeat!

Schoggi Rene and Martin bare it all in this offshore mooning performance. They're such naturalists...

It's Hamish again. He seems to really like those yak shit patties. Here we see him donning the blue rubber glove to help prepare these local delicacies...

Hamish from Christchurch, New Zealand demonstrates his skills in balancing five dried yak shit patties on his head. And they say Kiwis don't know how to use their head...

We are pleased to present yet the youngest losers in the game, thus providing proof that Cho Dai Dee appeals to all ages. It keeps you mentally alert and physically fit, as brothers Jannik and Joscha have learned the hard way. Check out the funky head gear of the passenger! Well done, boys!!!

In true Cho Dai Dee champion style, Colani takes out his three opponents in one striking blow. The punishment involves kissing up to the boss - literally. Check out Polly, Peter and Daniel smooching in broad daylight! (Not sure what body part Daniel is aiming for...)

Push it, Polly! Push-ups are one of the less creative punishments but they nevertheless serve the purpose - yet again.

Although she has a perfect beach right in front of the house, Nenita choses to take a bath in her neighbor's water tank. The swim included a dangerous climb over a tree but thankfully there were no dead frogs in the tank.

As if it wasn't hot enough outside (27-30 degrees), Andrea enjoys a chili snack before bedtime.

In a rather more practical punishment, Danilo has been seen doing the dishes on a number of occasions. He also enjoyed getting up early to make breakfast.

In one of the more creative punishments, Silvan is seen immitating a cow, using Jimmy's smelly and mosquito-infested cow-skin carpet for good effect. Sadly enough, the punishment was his own idea.

Keeping a straight face despite the humilation, Danilo seems annoyed having lost the game and getting his face powdered by Jimmy!

Residents of Boracay were excused for thinking a Martian had landed on their island, having seen Andrea walk along the beach the entire day with a green ear.

A rather weird punishment, but funny nonetheless: Andrea, swinging in a hamock, having to eat a bowl of peanuts held in front of her face. Some of the nuts ended up her nose, I'm sure...

What goes up, must come down. That's probably what Jimmy thought, drinking a San Mig while doing a handstand.

Andre, after a lazy week in the sun, was in desperate need for some fitness. What better idea than a game of Cho Dai Dee with a push-up punishment in the surf...

In what must surely amount to a new Cho Dai Dee record, the Colani Champion actually knocked out all four oponents (in a game of five) in one final stroke. With everybody's score well above the punishment level, each one of them had to grab a heavy sand bag and carry it up and down Diniwid Beach in less than 2 minutes (they all failed the time limit)! A nice family picture indeed...

Here's Nenita enjoying half a banana. Not much of a punishment, you say. But if you have to eat it with the skin, you better think twice!

Jimmy, who is slowly developing a reputation for paddle punishments (dry and wet), is seen here taking a small raft for a spin. Seconds later his boat was overturned by an incoming wave, rendering the punishment incomplete but hilarious nevertheless.

The following video footage clearly qualifies for the TOP TEN PUNISHMENTS EVER. Check out how both father & son (Jimmy & Andre) express their love for a local pig, giving it a big kiss each. The ear-shattering screams of the pig make you wonder for whom it was the bigger punishment...

And who would lose the last game of Cho Dai Dee in 2002? Here's Colani in his deep sea outfit getting hosed down with the flower spray. My New Year's Resolution: not to lose any further games of Cho Dai Dee!

Taking the Durian Dive: It had to happen sooner or later! I was finally forced to eat one of those awefully stinky fruits with the consistency of a rotten mango. To add insult to injury, the punishment stipulated that the durian be eaten in "dog style", i.e. on all fours, with no use of hands. Disgusting!

Here's a new victim, Fred, enjoying some yucky snack earlier bought on the local market. I think it's preserved plums, or something similar!

Here's Fred again. This time he managed to win a Cream Puff filled with ketchup, mustard and pickled black bean (his favorite). No wonder he looks so happy...

This is Fred's wife. She also likes Cream Puffs. But her filling was more creative: soya souce, and toothpaste. Now that's what I call desert - and you don't even have to brush your teeth anymore!

It's been a busy Cho Dai Dee summer. First up, we have Jimmy picking up Nenita from the train station and carrying her on his back to the end of the tracks and once around a phone booth. What a welcome!

Next up, we have Jimmy emptying a nearby trash container as punishment number one in order for Andre to climb in and sit there for one minute as punishment number two. What a stinky pair!

Now here's Andre talking a bath in the local fountain. There really wasn't much space in there for a tall guy like him, but good effort anyway!

After many objections, postponements and complaints the loser (Danilo) finally gets hosed down by the winner (Nenita) in front of Jimmy's grotto.

Here's a punishment that deserves extra points for originality: the loser (Martin, above) had to run around Europe's largest roundabout. And for the next game, we decided the loser(s) (myself and Martin again, below) would have to run once more but in a faster time than Martin's original run - otherwise it would mean an extra round!

We did beat his original time, by the way.

A simple but enjoyable (for the winners) punishment: Martin taking a barefoot walk around the picturesque village of Intragna - in the rain, that is!

The final insult of the summer: Join Andre for his favorite drink: Greek spirit, syrup, salad dressing (French) and ketchup. Cheers, mate!

Watch Jimmy, having lost bitterly in a hard round of Cho Dai Dee, doing a minute of "dry paddling" in Boracay!

Another round, another victim. Take what you got, use your imagination. And if you love fish, the Philippines is your place. Here we see Olivier doing the 'fish hug' after a losing streak.

And as happens so often in this game, the unfortunate loser gets caught in a vicious cycle of more and more defeats. Some people just never learn, it seems. Anyway, eating salty snacks through your nose is quite an achievement in itself. Lets hear it for Olivier...

Push-ups are a somewhat boring, but nevertheless effective, form of punishment. Daniel here is hopefully enjoying his late-night exercise.

For lack of imagination, drinking hard liquor is also often used as punishment. Following his rigorous excercise above, Daniel was sure looking forward to that glass of rum.

Another classic by our good friend Alain, who has a somewhat unfortunate track record as far as this game is concerned. Having lost another game yet again, we see him here freezing off his backside at 2503 meters - on the summit of the Saentis. One can only hope it helps to improve his game!

If you end up with more than 10 cards in your hand, they count double. And if you still have all 13, its triple. Here we had Martin, with an incredible hand, knocking out Danilo, Alain and myself in one shot. So it was 50 push-ups for all of us in the fresh Alpine air.

Good old Alain taking a walk in the snow. Was there any body part he did not stick in the snow?

Here it's Danilo's turn. Sticking your face in the snow for a while is surely refreshing after a hot game.

Cho Dai Dee is an excellent game to empty your bar of unwanted spirits. Here's Reto, Frances and Olivier working on some of my old stock of Tequila...

It's Martin's turn to drink a shot of stinky vinegar, normally used to treat itchy jelly fish stings. Cheers, mate...

Martin again! Carrying my luggage all the way to Hong Kong airport. I love to travel light!

Ooops, this time it caught the master himself! Colani standing 3 minutes on a submerged plastic chair off the beach in Thailand.

Having just arrived on the beautiful island of Boracay, Martin is treating his friends to a performance of the "one-legged hop around the bush".

Here's Patrick giving his rendition of the Philippines' national anthem in his underwear. He could have gotten arrested for indecent exposure and insults to the Philippines' national pride...

Talking of indecent exposure - here he is again doing a late night swim in the Adam's costume, complete with banana leaf!

Me again! I cannot remember what this awful mixture was that I had to drink, but it surely kept the sand flies away for the next week.

Thanks to another great hand of mine, Danilo and Alain hit the floor together in a double push-up punishment.

Cheers, Alain! Not having had much good fortune on the trip, Alain demonstrates his acrobatic skills by drowning a beer while doing a handstand. Keep it up!

Here he goes again... Although you can't tell from the photo, let me assure you that it is Alain who is getting a little refreshment in this fountain!

And here it is: The Classic, The Ultimate, The One to Beat - The Lampshade! On a parking lot in front of our motel, somewhere along the Pacifc Coast in California - a man with a lampshade on his head. No extra points for guessing who it is. His name starts with A...
