We planned this project to be open ended so that others who fancy a game of oversized croquet can join in and help out with our project.

We're going to finish decorating the 6 battering rams, and our 10 wickets. If you want your ball to match your ram, buy one to decorate or you can use one of our standard course balls. Either way, come and play! We're curious to see what kinds of rams people will come up with! Have your team wear a costume matching your ram and will will worship you like the Gods you are.

Our battering rams are constructed from 6" flat sewer pipe with caps on the ends. We'll fill them partially with dirt/playa to weigh them down and give them some heft. We've used simple rope handles, bicycle grip handles, cabinet/drawer handles and old inner tube handles to make it easy to grip the battering rams.

Use your imagination to come up with something twisted. If you get stuck, we recommend a stiff dose of LSD to help you along your path. It sure worked for us.

Sincerely yours, The Deep Stupid Trip Team

Post Burning Man Note: One evening some random burners ramble into our camp and start playing the game. They get into it and one guy rams the ball straight through the wicket and starts cheering. Before he is done cheering the ball reverses direction, rolls back through the wicket, then changes directions 45 degress and rolls away from the wicket. The guy jumps up and down in frustration and shouts: "Whoever designed this fuckin' game was on drugs!" And the entire Orbital camp around him burst into uncontrollable laughter.

Ahhhh. <& /comp/dsfooter, page=>4, of=>4 &>
