2013 Dainty Contest Recap

TWIT would like to congratulate James Brown on winning the 2013 Dainty Contest.  He hit the dainty an impressive 138 feet. 

For those of you that are clueless, the dainty is a game that was brought to the U.S. by our German friends.  The dainty is a five-inch long piece of broom handle that has been sharpened on each end (just like you'd sharpen a pencil).  The object is to hit the dainty with a three-foot piece of broom handle that has one end sharpened just like one of the ends of the dainty, causing the dainty to flip up in the air, and while it's in the air you hit it with the longer stick.  It's not nearly as easy as it sounds.  And for clarification, the Dainty Contest is only open to contestants 45 years and older. 

This year marked the 43rd Dainty Contest.  And trust me - the residents in Germantown and Schnitzelberg are probably practicing right now for the 44th Contest.
