You've got about a month to play this game, before the BSA gets you.

WEB THAT SMUT! - Andy Ihnatko
http://reality.sgi.com/mende_corp/web-that-smut.html
How to play..
The object of Web That Smut!:
To proceed from a perfectly innocent starting point on the web to... hang
on - I've got the text of the litigation here somewhere. Aha!- "words
and/or images of a prurient nature which violate reasonable standards of
good taste in the town and/or county of it's source or destination of
transmission."
How to Play:
You and your opponent sit at opposite sides of a Mac with Internet access
and a web browser up and running. Your opponent names a web site. You then
offer an opening bid of how many mouse clicks it will take to move from
that friendly locale to an image of graphic smut. Just as in the TV
original (name that tune), you barter the wager back and forth until one of
you loses your nerve.
YOU: I can Web That Smut! in five mouse clicks.
OPPONENT: (after a way pause) Web That Smut!
You then have the agreed upon number of clicks to locate any text or
graphics that, when accessed, immediately take your mind's eye back to the
lecture your clergyman gave your entire Sunday-school class when he caught
your friend staring at the depilatory ads in Woman's Day.
The Rules of engagement:
1.Any mouse click that activates a link to either a file or another Web
Page counts toward the total. Clicks within the scroll bars are free.
2.You cannot hit a site more than once in any one round, but if you need to
backtrack, you may do so without penalty. When Web That Smut! is played at
championship levels, however, each click on the Back button counts; this is
the game's equivalent of doing the Times crossword puzzle in ink and marks
you as one big and crunchy master of Web Naughtiness.
3.Mouse clicks must be limited to the content area of your browser's
window. The 'what's new' and 'what's cool' buttons are verbotten, as is the
keyboard - you can't perform a keyword search.
4.A contestant has Webbed That Smut! when the screen contains an image
featuring either nudity, creative forms of counterproductive dress, or text
of a prurient nature as described by Senator Exon. For instance, any
appearance of the word 'winnebago' or 'turnstyle' scores an immediate Exon
for you or for your team. Merely accessing a file doesn't count; the text,
sound, or imagery must be plain for all to see for the Exon to be
recognised by the scorekeeper.
