Perhaps the most eye-catching event of the games is the Mud-Pit Belly
Flop, where fully clothed contestants plunge belly first into a natural
pool of red clay mud. The bigger the belly, the better your chance, as
the winning flopper tends to weigh in at over 250 pounds and key
criteria for the judges are beauty of form and size of splash...
Other
disciplines include the self-explanatory Hubcap Hurl and the
stomach-churning Bobbing for Pig's Feet. Similar to the kiddies'
Halloween favourite, this involves seven slowly defrosting raw pig's
trotters and a shoulder-deep bobbing bucket. Reassuringly resting in
water rather than pigs' blood, one crucial difference is that, unlike
apples, pigs' feet don't float...
Other delights include the
Dumpster Dive (where contestants dive into a garbage-packed dumpster and
try to find a holiday prize paper) and the Armpit Serenade. Children
normally win this event, as smooth-skinned pits tend to give off a truer
"wind" sound.
