Ok Ferrots down your pants sounds more like a sex type of game than an actual game. Each there own. Trampoline Volleyball, I saw this like on ESPN bizzare sports one night looks pretty dam good to me.

Do you have ferrets in America? A lot of people round my way keep them, I would but don't have the time to keep them occupied.

I think it started as a poachers trick, hiding them from the gamekeepers. Then as men do it became a game of bravado lol!

Heh, I've played shik-kicking myself!

I totally get grown men trying to kick the snot out of each other, but why are the shin kickers wearing lab coats?

Actually, true story. I once watched two Kindergarten boys punching themselves (not each other) in the groin. I must confess, it was mesmerizing for a moment, but professionalism kicked in, and I broke it up. For some reason men in white coats kicking each other made me think of that.

That bossaball looks a heck of a lot more fun than volleyball.
