UK: Dwile Flonking Banned

Britons sure do seem to have a lot of time on their hands. Take, for example, the colorfully-named pastime of dwile flonking. Players soak a rag in beer and put it on top of a pole. Then they use the pole to hurl the rag at other players.

A player who misses twice in a row is called a “flonker.” Flonkers are required to drink a beer before the opposing team can pass the errant rag all the way around him in a circle.

This year’s dwile flonking world championship was to be held in Norfolk. Then regulators got involved. As one can tell by the rules, dwile flonking is a drinking game. And drinking games are forbidden now. Legislation passed earlier this year banning them.

The American journalist H.L. Mencken defined Puritanism as “The haunting fear that someone, somewhere, may be happy.” He may as well have been talking about regulators.

And thanks to the new Puritanism, we may never know who the world’s top dwile flonkers are.

What? Quarters, beer pong, not to mention boot-a-bout and beer hunter are outlawed?

When Quarters is outlawed only outlaws will play quarters.

They outlawed Beer Pong? Try that over here and you'll have a riot.

And drunken Rock Band. That just ain't right.

Ever tried this one: Stick the original Star Wars on, and everybody has to do a shot every time Luke whines or complains. I bet you won't remember who wins in the end, the Imperials or the Rebels.

They can outlaw beer pong all they want, but there isn't enough jail space in the country.

True, but imagine all the federal ninja money that would pour forth for the War on Beer Pong.

Guys, SHUT UP!! You're GIVING THEM IDEAS!

Admittedly, I've only played Quarters once and was so good at it, the first bottle of tequila ran out before I actually had to take a shot and they had to go buy more.

I may have my value of "good" inverted.
