    Hammerschlagen!

    Fun with wood! And Nails! And Hammers!

    Hot Nursey and I went to an Oktoberfest celebration over the weekend and were introduced to a new game. The game of Hammerschlagen. Having some German in the family this was right up my alley. I'm just surprised I had never heard of it before.

    Basic breakdown: Stump of wood, hammer, everyone gets a nail, you want your nail to be the last one standing.

    Drinking, hammer and nails....what could go wrong!?!

    If stuff does go sideways this could be a fun way to pass the time.

    Here's a vid:

    How about hanging the tree stump vertically and driving the nails in with .22 shorts? That's my kind of game.

    Can we substitute politicians for the nails?

    How about drunk Oktoberfest girls…

    Big sledge hammers…

    And the nails would be politicians.

    Makes everyone happy.

    There's already a game like that but it's called Curb Stomp.
