Various earlier projects |
Tomfoolery Big Damn John brought back spoils of war from Pennsic, namely the secret of a new weapons form. Place a tenyss ball into the foot of some wondrously thin hosiery, and place the waistband therof about your head. By dint of twisting and turning (and without the aid of your hands) cause the ball to orbit your head, as the Sun and Moon doth orbit the Earth. Whosoever entangleth and retreats whilst still in possession of his opponent's headwear is judged the victor. This manner of combat causeth great merriment, in that the combatants reel and stagger, not unlike those poor souls who have eaten bread of mouldy rye. It hath yet no name, but I propose "hosenball". |
