Camping Games

[BellePlaine]

Has anyone ever played Fricket or otherwise known as Frisbee Cups? I was going to gather the gear to keep in my bus for something fun to do while camping. All you need are four wooden or pvc dowels, four keg cups, a frisbee, and four players.

Any game that require four kegs sounds alright to me!

keg CUPS!

That game sounds fun! We often have dutch oven cook-offs when we camp in a group. And then there are our music games....see who can forget the most lyrics

And who can make it back to camp during a 3 am "hike" without dying. Always good for a laff. Of course Mark is usually sawin' wood by then, thus saving himself from the perils.

That is a good game, now if we just had some BLTs...

I know of an "oasis" of such delecacies. Only need a crowbar.

[Gypsie]

Crowbar, hell. You gots to use the tools at hand when living off the land. Plenty o' rocks nearby to help crack the shell and get to the BLT deliciousness....




Overheard at the fingerprint station:


"Well, you see, officer, it all started after the tuba jam when Hambone said "I'm feelin' a little peckish..."

Sounds suspiciously simlar to "Polish Horseshoes". 2 or 4 players: 2 ski poles, 2 beer bottles, and a frisbee. Stick the ski poles in the ground 30 feet or so apart, balance the bottle on top, and try to knock the other team's bottle. Must be played with a beer in hand.

3 points for knocking the bottle off, 2 for hitting the pole and causing the bottle to fall. Catch the bottle, 1 fewer point. Catch the frisbee after it knocks the bottle, 1 fewer point. Catch both, 2 fewer points. Play to 11.

Do you need to have a beer in one of your hands at all times in Polish Horseshoes? That's my favorite part of Fricket. We could make it a beer or a dubee at all times. We don't discriminate.

Discriminate? Moi? Never.

Point is to have at least one hand occupied, to make the points negation more difficult. In theory, if the throwing team knocked the bottle off, one opponent would try to catch the frisbee, the other the bottle. Catching both with one hand would be worthy of ending the game right then and there, IMHO. ;)

Like our game of horseshoes in the dark. Ringer after ringer after ringer. Ahh the half drunken memories.

Point is to have at least one hand occupied...

That sounds inappropriate.

Maybe that's what Truman is saying!

No, he's saying that he hasn't eaten in days and days and hasn't been on a walk in weeks and weeks.

Oh... and he's really tired, and when are we going to get out of the woods and back to the den with the couches?
