Of course, the result is nonsense, but it is pleasant nonsense, and
may be kept up indefinitely, to the entertainment of the participants.
hours
An amusing game, at which any size party may play and enjoy it for
hours. Cut a large figure of a donkey, minus a tail, from dark paper
or cloth, and pin it upon a sheet stretched tightly across a door-way.
Each player is given a piece of paper, which would fit the donkey for
a tail, if applied. On each tail is written the name of the person
holding it. When all is ready, the players are blindfolded in
turn–placed facing the donkey a few steps back in the room–then
turned around rapidly two or three times, and told to advance with the
tail held at arm”s length, and with a pin previously inserted in the
end, attach it to the figure of the donkey wherever they first touch
it. When the whole curtain is adorned with tails–(not to mention all
the furniture, family portraits, etc., in the vicinity)–and there are
no more to pin on, the person who has succeeded in fastening the
appendage the nearest to its natural dwelling place, receives a prize,
and the player who has given the most eccentric position to the tail
entrusted to his care, receives the ‘booby’ prize, generally some gift
of a nature to cause a good-humored laugh.
bags
At the seashore stones or blocks of wood may be substituted for the
bags. A ring is drawn on the ground and the players take sides. The
leader of each side toes a starting line across the ground at a distance
from the circle. Bean bags or stones are thrown into the center of
this, each one having a turn.
Andy Lavigne (probabilmente fratello della nota cantante canadese) ha inciso una cover di “Complicated” (canzone della sua “probabile” sorella).
Si nota subito una mancanza di mezzi adeguati per la registrazione.
P.S. Per i non anglofoni riporto qui sotto il testo e, la ben pi importante, traduzione della canzone:
TESTO
Uh huh, questa la mia storia
Uh huh, uh huh, la nostra storia…
