Late night wrestling.

Late night wrestling. There is something to be said for every time a group of guys get together for a night of drinking and shenanigans. Testosterone will run high, and competition will ensue. Many times, for no reason at all, a shirt will come off, signifying that a challenge has been set.
The alcohol, which is the main reason for the shirt removing and challenging, also prevents the participants from feeling the true pain that is occurring. The pain that will leave an elbow, knee, or head with raspberries the next day, as well as unexplainable bruises.
In a long drawn out battle, moves that some call "classics" are used, such as the "tap on the chest", "the wedgy" and even the dreaded "drool on the forehead". Anything goes. These wrestling matches are usually (and really only should be) between good friends that had no animosity towards each other during the evening.
A handshake, hug, or highfive is the common exchanged to say that "everything is cool, good fight, and I'm way too sweaty now." Objects in the room may have been spilled, broken or disturbed, yet all damage is forgiven for the good of the battle (hopefully).
In the end, the winner of this match is not always in the clear, because they are now the "champion" and must defend their belt. And on it goes, if only to entertain our friends and prove our might, late night wrestling will always be a source of amusement, exercise, and worth.
Off the Topic Thought:
The guy who invented the "magic marker" must have been a magician.

Kudos on even trying to spell "shenanigans." I don't know if it's right, but boy that's one hell of an effort.
