At it's best when played before an audience of adolescent females.

Was never a participant myself.
Rgr that. I can see why it would be popular in America. :lol   ;)

Can you imagine it being an event at the Olympics...

Imagine the remarks made by the color commentators...

The shrieks of the fans...

There is an English equivolent to stump poker played by over-privilaged toffs at expensive private schools.

Soggy Biscuit.

There are no girls around as this is almost exclusivly played in all boys schools.

Everyone is gives his "essential essence" onto the biscuit. THe last to do this must eat the biscuit.

Luckily i am far too poor to have been to a school where this was played. Who said money did you good.

I was told it was a Kiwi game.  "Spoof on the ginger nut"?
