Leave it to the Japanese to re-invent one of the most basic playground games of all time: tug of war. Except the only difference is that instead of a rope, you’re using some sort of two-ended nylon sock slipped over the head of each opponent. [via]
Now that’s a game I’d love to see brought to the playgrounds in the US.

funny! their faces look like they’re drawn when it’s smushed in those nylon things.
