What sports do you play?

[Primus Inter Pares]

While I think that sport is such a dirty word, and I would prefer using the term "Useless recreational activities" I'll let this one slip.

That being said, back in the gulags, we had aquired a two German WWII helmets which we had combined together to make a ball, which we would kick barefooted in the snow. The old gallows from the days of Stalin remained and worked marvellously as goal posts once we had dismantled them. To increase the excitement; Igor, the old drunk guard demoted for pilfering several hundred gallons of Vodka from the Politibureau while he was stationed there, would take pot shots at us as we ran through the minefields. This is where frostbite comes in handy, being not able to feel the cold, or the hard tin ball could make you very good at the game. which unfortunately we never got around to making rules for.

This is where my memory fades, it might have something to do with the underground atomic testing that occured in the forests to the north. Who needed a vibrating bed with that handy? We were constantly warned about the evils of capitalism while we were gambling for Vodka with Igor. None of us really remember why we were put there, but I did suspect it had something to do with that game.

EDIT: Damn you smilie count limit making me create a thread and then not being able to do what was wanted ;_;
