Having fun the "Danish way"

Today I took part in one traditional danish game, organized by my school. At first I didn't know how to play it but actually it turned out to be a very amusing and interesting game. So here are the rules - there are 1 or 2 teams (can be more) and each of them has a flail (bat/"buhalka") and a barrel full of oranges which is hanging on a rope from the ceiling. The rules are very simple - each player gets the flail, goes to the barrel and hit it with the flail as hard as he can. Then he passes the flail to the next player. This is repeated until the barrel is completely smashed and the oranges fall on the ground. The person who did that is named a Queen. After that the game continues and the barrel should be completely destroyed and ripped to pieces. Whoever does that is named a King. Simple, effective and very violent! I really liked it :) It's a good way to unleash all your aggression and beat the crap out of something. Can you imagine me holding a bat and smashing something with an angry exprecion on my face :P Yeah, it's good to be a bad guy sometimes :) Although it sounds like a man's game we had a lot of girls playing it and some of them were really good.
After the game we all had hot chocolate and sweets :) I had a really nice time and enjoyed the participation in something new and interesting. Can't wait for the next student event :)
