The Oxford University Speculative Fiction Group Silly Games List and One-legged Herring dueling

The Oxford University Speculative Fiction Group Silly Games List - yes, the Oxford University Speculative Fiction Group Silly Games List - is, as advertised, a list of sometimes very silly games, authored, as one might suspect, by actual students of the aforementioned.

As Major Fun, Defender of the Playful, I am both heartened by and in awe of those few who have in fact managed to find a place for silly games, e'en in the dark bastions of the terminally academic. In awe, because some of these games are true masterpieces of silliness. My favorite so far:

One-legged Herring dueling
This requires two idiots, two herring, and stout washable rainwear. It should be played outdoors. Contestants stand on one leg facing each other, holding their right foot in their left hand for balance. In their right hand, they each hold a herring by one end. They hit each other about the body with the floppy ends of their herring for one minute; the winner is anybody who refuses to play, closely followed by the player whose herring is most severely damaged by the experience.
