Insofar as it is a ring made out of a plastic grocery sack, we're calling it the Sack Circle. Invented by field researcher Elyon, my son the doctor, DeKoven, the grocery store plastic Sack Ring brings a new source of games for junkyard sporting. Granted, ring-based sports are a bit, shall we say, obscure. Yet, for the Quoits fanatics amongst us, the Sack Circle is a veritable boon.

We anticipate that the Sack Circle will find equal if not more enthusiastic welcome by those who enjoy the occasional Ring Toss, at home or at county fairs or in the local, traditional, 18th century English pub. Not to mention Ultimate Scooter owners, hoping someday to experience a game of Ultimate Ring Toss.

Elyon and I, in exploring yet further implications of the entire Sack Circle phenomenon-to-be, fell into something like a chasm of joy upon discovering how easy it was to pass the Sack Circle from hand to hand, no matter who's hand we were passing to. It reminded me a bit of the Victorian child's holiday game of Hunt the Ring, don't you know. But what made us laugh so hard was imagining what it'd be like playing this in a crowd - you know, people milling around, shaking hands, passing the ring. The very stuff of another totally pointless game!
