Simlutaneous Sock-and-Pantyhose Horseshoes
It was yesterday, April 18. In the afternoon. In El Retiro park. In Redondo Beach. In California. The South Bay Fun Club's first ever Junkyard Sports event. Where the new, official, Junkyard Sports Banner was formally unfurled, and the game of Simultaneous Sock and Pantyhose Horseshoes was invented.Pictured here, clearly is not the game of Simultaneous Sock and Pantyhose Horseshoes - the revealing of which was an event in itself. But rather Bernie in the act of launching the sport that becake Simultaneous Sock and Pantyhose Horseshoes.
The game was played thusly: Two teams of four players each stood at opposite ends of the Simultaneous Sock and Pantyhose Horseshoe Field, immediately behind small, open cardboard boxs, placed, o, let's say, 10 meters apart. These boxes were easily large enough to serve as a target for a Sock and Pantyhose Horseshoe, the aforementioned horseshoe being constructed by placing four tightly-balled socks into the toe of a pantyhose leg which was cut from the pantyhose leg somewhere near the thigh area, if you excuse the expression.
One team had the Sock and Pantyhose Horseshoes made from two pairs of black pantyhose, the other from white.
And then, at a mutually agreed-upon scream, both teams threw their Sock and Pantyhose Horseshoes trying to get them to land in or near the above-indicated cardboard box.
And merry mayhem ensued.
Note: playing this with hard things, like iron horseshoes and maybe even frisbees, is not recommended.
