OK, the Wikipedia article on Dwile Thonking is the funniest thing I've seen on Wikipedia in quite some time, which presumably means it hasn't caught the attention of some of the more serious-minded editors yet. Key highlights include:
A full game comprises four 'snurds', each snurd being one team taking a turn at girting. The jobanowl adds interest and difficulty to the game by randomly switching the direction of rotation, and will levy drinking penalties on any player found not taking the game seriously enough.
And the rather wonderful:
The Waveney Valley Dwile Flonking Association went on to make their television debut on The Eamonn Andrews television programme in 1967, which resulted in letters from Australia, Hong Kong and America asking for a Flonking rule book, although in the Australians' case this may have been a misprint.
Ah Suffolk, county of my birth. Home of the original Dunwich (as you drive into the village you will pass this road sign), the more nefarious activities of Matthew Hopkins the Witchfinder General, the town of Halesworth where in the nineteenth century an entire church schismed over one line of the Lord's Prayer, and Dwile Flonking. posted by Hogshead at 5:27 PM on July 16, 2010 [1 favorite]
Snurds, girting and jobanowl made me think of the "new social network" GINK! posted by symbioid at 6:11 PM on July 16, 2010
