Reading this thread I have an intense sense of dejavu. Can anyone tell me why? Aunt Sally is a foolish pasttime too. And Maypole, and the Arch dance and the Stick dance. And raft races and duck races and oh my I grew up in very strange village.

Going by that picture, "welly wanging" = "sticking your arm out like a ninny".

I told you it was silly.

That Dutch variation on ancient village pastimes that involves pole vaulting with a non-bendy stick looks kind of fun though. Much more fun than cowpat frisbee.

In America we have a tradition called " Hotdogh Eating"

excuse me but welly wanging is an ancient and well established sport first oringinating from the the lower foot hills of the houjanic-a- bulakov mountains in southern Wonderland, no you not do geography losers. I have been wanging for many years my farther before me and his father before him, we are all well known wangers and have been on the pro tour for many years. So please take my beloved sport seriously.
