The Stick Game

I was reading some stuff from this guy who is a Viking LARPer, and while they have a pretty bad rep I have to say that some of their research turned up some pretty awesome stuff like "the stick game"

"The stick game": Played while drinking. Opponents face each other, and are handed a stout stick about 8-10 inches in length. Both opponents grasp the stick with their right hands. The loser is the first person without a hand on the stick. There are no other rules, but it's considered rude these days to interfere with the opponents groin in any way. It's really physical and people get hurt quite often, with opponents getting thrown around and contorting each other. Our current Holder Of The Stick is a girl who's about as big as one of my legs. She's extremely vicious and flexible, and her light weight makes throwing her around less effective than it would be with a large opponent. I'm useless at the stick game.
