@ Snarkypants — I’ve never heard of Flickerball! WTF. Is this in OTS, ROTC, or COT? I will be attending COT so I have to be prepared :)

BTW, I love your screenname :)

Croquet from Alice in Wonderland! A bunch of flamingos, running around, moving all the time… can you imagine?

In college, my (architecture) friends and I made up a game called Stick-Tape, in which you took a length of wooden dowel (preferably 3/4″ diam. or greater) and a roll of masking tape and played a form of hockey on the concrete floors of the building. You put the stick into the hole in the middle of the roll of tape and used it to sling the tape across the floor… I miss those days…

I can’t believe nobody mention chess-boxing!

Dwight, good to see a fellow “Blood of heroes” fan. T
here are Jugger leagues at least in Australia and Germany, who play with padded equipment.

Maybe it was a little wishful thinking – but I thought Gee-Ball from Green-Wing would get a mention….
