Real life Buckaroo.
The art of placing as many objects as possible on the first to snooze, without waking them. This game is easier when people have been drinking but was really first played on sober nights. The aims are 1, to not wake the subject and 2, to be the one who places the weirdest / biggest object on the subject.
Mark is always a good subject, he often falls asleep early and when he does it's a pretty deep sleep. Note here a lot of cardboard and the Cher fitness video tape, if anyone has a good suggestion for disposal of said tape, please send it to kensands@ukonline.co.uk
In close up here, the observant among you will notice the finer details such as the speaker cone on his head and the condom, carefully added by KC - unused, however amusing a used one may seem to some of you.
Next myself and Chrisy decided to use up a bit of selotape, it was a tricky procedure but as you can see we secured two vertical windings aswell as one across the length of the sofa.
The selotape provided a way of attaching yet more items to the sleepy Mark such as the cheat book you see here along with lots of small items, lighters, shoes etc.
This photo was taken after a bout of in sleep movements which not only dislodged a lot of the items but also demonstrated the holding power of selotape as Mark would have rolled off the sofa was it not for our selotape saftey precaution.
Mark woke a little later yet did not realise he had been Buckarooed for quite some time.
The subject does not need to be human, as is shown here. Pauls cat Zooey is Buckarooed pre Reading festival 2002.
At a recent party Matt here decided to sleep, he should have known better.
A good quality home made plywood ping pong bat is used as a stable base.
A new face was then created for Matt, looking pretty good I'd say.
Unfortunatly Matts nose protuded too much to get heavier items on the bat so...
It was removed to allow for more direct placement of the new face parts.
We stepped back to take this picture and consider our next moves, when all of a sudden...
Matt sprung to life, scattering bits everywhere, he decided he had consumed a little too much drink and dived for the nearest object capable of holding the contents of his stomach, marshmallow, cracker and vodka mainly.
