Drunkshoes is a time honored LOD camping tradition. For those of you who are not familiar with the concept it's like Horseshoes and Quarters all rolled into one huge mess.
Teams of two men assemble on the field of battle. Beers in one hand and Horseshoes in the other. They taunt each other and scrape their feet like bulls getting ready to charge.
Once the bravado is at it's highest they fling a shoe at an iron stake sticking out of the ground. The closest shoe gets a point. But if you happen to land outside the box your team has to take a drink.
If for some reason the shoe goes two paces past the box in any direction the team has to chug one beer each. Once the beer is chugged play resumes.
In the event someone rings the stake they get 3 points and the person who threw it gets to make a rule. The rules stay in effect the entire duration of play. That's when the fun really begins.
After an extremely good round or 18 or Drunkshoes a player may feel the urge to cool down. This calls for a Creek Stomp. It is usually preceded by a head first dive into a shallow pool. During the Creek Stomp a player may fall, stumble, and or bust his ass. Turning blue is usually a side effect of the Creek Stomp. The water is around 50 degrees.
Following the Creek Stomp it is customary to eat an extremely good dinner and then chunk a propane cylinder in the nearest campfire for grins.
We need to make sure the guy that invented "Creek Stompin' Drunk" gets to attend one of these things this year.
