Anti-Fest Sports day?

This is actually one of the first ideas people started tossing around when we finally started thing about the festival in (relatively) concrete terms, but now seems a good time to start talking about it in detail. If everyone attending wanted to, one one (or more) of the weekends we could go out to park and spend a day, or half a day, or whatever, playing absurd sports. Maybe have a barbeque or something.

There'd be a whole lot we could do; the first Post-Neo performance at the Maintenance Show was Chair Jousting, and a reunion of the Gentlemen's Croquet Club is long overdue; we must play some Aesthletics games, Whiffle-Hurling or Straightjacket Softball or something; the SPART Group over in Ireland just put on some Winter Games and Justin said they'd send us the rules to some of their games; there are tons of Fluxus sports we could give a whirl; and other things could certainly be thought up between now and then....

eh...?

Yeah, that's great! How big is the raft so far? The park where Tom does his Aesthletics games is right on the river; though there might have been a certain point where they'd scouted to cross, I'm not sure but Warren will know.

Your sis'n family's welcome. And we'll have the toys and games show there waiting to be played with too.

I've gotten your Around the Block Special 40,000 times, so it's about the same thing (speaking of sports!).

Go stick a shiv up your bunghole. Again.

yes, yes you'd like that woudln't you.

while driving to wedding recption i was being PAID to photograph i saw a child with a croquet set. he was hammering the red ball into the ground with a mallet. the P.N.A. is strong with this one.

Olchar E. Lindsann said...

It's good to know the little-kid demographic of the Post-Neo Empire is finally pulling its weight and coming up with some new croquet moves. They've been mooching for fucking years.

Is there a name for that tactic? Somehow we need to remember all the swings...

aaroneous said...

not that i know of...how bout the mud bug?

Olchar E. Lindsann said...

The mud-bug works for me. Maybe we should start compiling a list on here. Warren and I have tried to remember some but its hazy. Between all of us we can get it all sorted, we can ask Dave, Chi-Kit, Brad, Megan too. So far we've got

1.- THE MUDBUG: Player hammers the ball into the ground.
a. The lady-mud-bug: with a red ball.
b. The shit-mud-bug: with a brown ball.
c. The potato-bug mud-bug: with a green ball.

2.- _________________: Player begins with mallet held upright, with the head several feet above head; then swings mallet in a full verticle circle to strike the ball.

3.- THE HAMMER: ???
