We've rounded up some of the world's craziest festivals, including the wonderfully uncouth Redneck Games, Japan's freaky Naked Man festival and all manner of other exotic ceremonies that you won't forget in a hurry.
Have you been to any of these? Did you enjoy it? Have you ever happened upon an amazing event like these during your travels, or would you cross the world specifically to attend one? Share all your tales and thoughts here...
I think we should have a sport festival were people show off there moves at a sport!! that would be cool i would go skateboarding!!
Tooth Past Spitting!!!
This actuall does exsist, as a sport, but needs to be show cased to a wating world. It is a wonderful sport on it's own, or as a an addition to any existing festival, (Like that little thing in 2012????), as it can be enjoyed, on equal terms by anyone of any age or phisical condition.
Although it's origins are lost in the mists of time, it was first formalised as a sport in the late 1800's with the invention of tooth past. (Prior to this it was, more or less, the exclusivly the preserve of sheep farmers.......?) Rules and etiquet were codified at the spiritual home of TPS, Screen park Scout Camp, in Esses, England in the 1980's
The object is simple. Spit a bolus of toothpast up a vertical surface as far as possible. Highest flob wins.
Method:
First, find a tall vertical surface. A Victorial brick water tower is ideal. Historic listing is not strictly nessasry, but incandessant rage on the part of the caretaker does add somthing special to the ocassion. If you are short on anchent momuments or towers, the end wall of a two story house is OK. Note: Blank walls are best, but if the structure you do use has windows, it recommended that they are keept shut for the duration. "Through Shots", as they known, are a sod to measure, and always cause arugment, especilly with the house holder if they are unawere the event is in progress.
Equipment.
You need a long ladder to aid the marker. You may also need a stout set of chains or manicals. (See marker selection below.)
Tooth paste: These should be supplied buy the orginisers, and should be white. This allows for identification of cheating, i.e. Smoakers using the "Lung Oysters" created by heavy indulgencein High Tar cigarettes.
The marker: Make sure this is someone you/ the orginising comitte/ comunity truly detest. They will get covered in overspray, and indeed, often become the objest of the sport, adding much to the enjoyment of (almost) all concerned. Popular choises for marker, are politicians and traffic wardens, with accountants, production managers and store keepers comming in close behind. Most marker need significant encoragement and assistance. (See note on equipmene - chains.)
Spectators are expected to provide their oun safety equipment. (umbrellas)
That's it. enjoy.

why are the british so boring we should have some good old festival
so we can make prats of our selfs not get banged up in the local nik becaues we have to much to drink and the old bill have nothing else to do
i think that people should do a festival called "nude" where you can either go naked for a day or only (if your a women) with your pants or bra on ( and for men) with nothing on. It would be a embarrassing for some people, and lets say they hold this in Japan or something then you are most likely never see them again, so it would be a great day OR weekend !!!!!! :P
i think that we should have a beer festival were in a oganisied festival is set and you have lots and lots and lots (etc) of beer and who eve can drink the most takes away a beer trophy!! :D
