Ever want to invite over a bunch of guys for a game of buzkashi? Here be the rules!

First, you take a calf, or a goat, and hack off it’s head, and toss it in the yard. To play, you lean off your horse, grab the decapitated carcass, gallop round a flag that’s over a half-mile away, then throw the dead critter into a circle. Oh, and the bunch of other guys on horseback with whips will be chasing you, cuz they want the dead critter, too. :eek: I’ll stick to stuff like baseball and Scrabble, thanks. :wink:

Jesus, and I thought Cranium was hardcore.

Hey, don’t knock buzkashi – it offers a really good overall workout with some cardio benefits.

:rolleyes:

I went to a match in Kabul once. The day I was there a guy got thrown and the horse went into the stands. After the match, I saw a kid outside the stadium trying to get some of the players to autograph the horse (ok, that parts not true).

kid walks home, unautographed horse in hand

Mother: Why the long face, my son?

Kythereia you’re my kind of people.

Not related to the game of Bukkake .

Well, just as long as it’s not some sort of twisted initiation ritual…

yawn Buzkashi is, like so 2005.

I wonder, in the Buzkashi little league, do they ride Shetland ponies and cut off a dog’s head?
