Fight Club not enough? That game where you make a circle with your thumb and forefinger and get people to look at it so you can punch them... is perhaps too immature for you? Here's the perfect combination of both.
Today I heard about a Spontaneous Wrestling club at the U of Iowa. Members are identified by green handkerchiefs sticking out of their back pocket. If you see another person with a green handkerchief, you're obliged to wrestle (not to the death) them wherever you happen to be. I guess there was a match on a cambus a few days ago, but the whole concept is new to me.
When I googled it, I only got this: http://www.toink.net/comment.php?comment=19
Is this a random phenomenon, or is it widespread? Comment on S&M handkerchief symbols.

By the way, there's a seldom-exercised ThoughtWorks tradition of playing the circle game. The TW version doesn't involve any violence, however. You only have to suffer the humiliation of being intellectually bested by the circle-thrower.

Posted by: lw at April 15, 2004 12:36 PMBack in the day, after we all saw Fight Club, Wadsbone and I started a Slap Club, which lasted for about one hour on a Friday night when we were drunk. It consisted of us slapping each other in the face like the effeminite men we are.

Otherwise half of the school has green bandannas, most are tied around the wrist until the last bell rings then its in the back pockets.
