Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

Competitors typically use what's called the Estonian method, in which the wife wraps her legs around the husband's head while the she hangs down his back.

Lucky, the modern day version includes only willing participants, and the women don't even have to be married. To compete teams must be comprised of a man and a woman, 21 years or older. Women are welcome to carry the men, but that usually doesn't work out well so much.
   

doesn't have to be married. Beer.

Trip to Maine, anyone?

2nd place.  And the shaft.  Possibly our sympathy.  What other parting gifts do we have, Johnny?
