The Object of the Game

This "sport" may have started in the 1960s but some claim it dates back to 400 years ago,it is called Dwile Flonking. The play consists of two groups and a dull witted person known as a jobanowl for a referee. A sugar beet is tossed to see which team flonks first. The non-flonking team holds hands and dances in a circle. A member of the opposing team stands in the middle of the circle holding a driveller (a pole 2-3 feet long) with a beer soaked dwile (rag) on the end. The flonker turns in a counter-clockwise direction and flonks his dwile at the circle of dancers. If the dwile misses completely it is called a swadger and the flonker must drink a pint of ale before the dwile passes through the hands of the dancers.  The team with the most points wins after deducting one point for every player still sober. Oh,and in case you missed it the object is the hit someone with the beer soaked dwile!
