Tonkathon

Tonkathon

Tonk-a-thon [tonk-uh-thon]

1. A contest of muscle mass (and general tonkness) between Team Xtreme members.

Origin:
2006; in Greek mythology, it is said James Poole challenged members of the elite Gods, known as Team Xtreme to a 'Tonk-off'. It is not clear to his reasons, philosophers say that due to his apparant obsession with endurance, he felt a competition suiting his peers would create waves of amusement. A certain level of irony comes in here, as none of his peers were particularly tonk, rather that they were not very good at endurance, and were more tonk than he was.

Early competitors were Tom Hinks and David McGee, as Tonkathon became more popular, the numbers of competitors increased by zero.
