| Description: | PIN PRACTICE aka WOMEN THROW ROLLING PINS AT DUMMY Bizarre game - throwing rolling pins at an effigy of a man. United States "We've all heard of pin money, but "pin practice" seems to be a new one on us. Here it is with rolling pins." American women throwing rollling pins at an effigy of a man tied to a post. Side view of group of dowdy women pitching rolling pins to the left. Shot from behind the effigy with several women all throwing pins at once. Part that looks more like contest - each woman gets a chance. One woman stands on a strip, swings her pin back & forth then lets it fly, but only bumps the dummy's hand. Her next attempt goes all the way over. "'Treat him rough!' seems to be the password of this very active American group." CU big strong looking woman warming up her arm with some swings. A row of men watch. CU effigy getting hit over & over; finally the head nearly falls off. Funny; silly; wacky; games; contests. | |
