    Yep, We made a slip and slid ride out of garbage bags down a steep hill where you kept sliding on the grass way after the trail of bags stopped, Hang off the clothes line…I’m surprised it never broke, but I guess wet jeans ways about as much as any 7 year old, random pieces of wood always makes for a sketchy teetor toter(sp?)....

    great idea – very much an aussie tee :)
    Ever played “goon of fortune” with the hills hoist?

  • zomboy replied

    goon of fortune? no I havent – im guessing a punn on wheel of fortune – ha ha ha.

  • Vedran Arnautovic

    Vedran Arnautovic

    goon = slang for cask wine
    goon of fortune =
    1. tie the bag from the cask to one corner of the hills hoist
    2. people line up around the hills hoist
    3. spin the hoist
    4. the person who has the goon stop in front of them has to drink :)

  • zomboy replied

    oh man that is classic!! Im loving this idea brother loving it!! only in Australia eh?
