How to Make a Scrote

It doesn't take much tossing to win folks over to scrotoss, and once won the most immediate concern is the creation of one's very own scrote. Luckily, scrotes can be quickly made with easily available household items.

Basic scrote:

You need:
two pairs of socks
sand
12 inches of rope or cord
scissors

Instructions:
Pretty simple. Fill 2 of the 4 socks with equal handfulls of sand. Tie them off and cut off the extra sock material beyond the knots. Place a sand-filled sock into each of the two remaining socks. Use the cord to tie them together. Cut off the remaining sock material. Presto! You're done.

Now, if you want to get fancy, you can make a "regulation" scrote.

Reg Scrote:

You need:
a sheet of leather or suede about a foot on a side (a cheapo jacket from Value Village can work)
scissors, leather snips, whatever -- something to cut with
a leather awl would hurt, either
2 socks
sand
twine

Instructions:
Cut two identical 12-inch-long dumbell-shaped pieces from the leather/suede. Use the twine to sew around the edges, leaving room to insert the testes. As with the basic scrote, fill 2 socks with sand, tie them off and cut off the remaining sock. Stick the socks in the dumbell pouch you've made and seal off the rest of the pouch with the twine. Presto again! You're done again! B-Bam!

Of course, these are early designs. Committed tossers are encouraged to use their imaginations to come up with new designs or improvements on the old. Good luck! Scroton!

- Scrotoss is fuckin' CAPITALIZED, sucka.

I dunno... if you're reading, "scrot" isn't as immediately correctly pronouncable as "scrote". And while I was in thrall of the capitalization at first, it now seems a little too precious.. I mean, hockey, tennis, golf reads right, and so too does scrotoss.

Scrotoss is special. More to the point, Scrotoss is special. As for the spelling, it has been established in print (twice) that the spelling is "scrot"... consider it a poseur test, like "Goethe".

Damn, too drunk. Meant poseur.

god damn, I gotta find some leather- I NEED a regulation scrote(or scrot?), any idea on what is offical size and weight?

A regulation weight hasn't been... regulated, but you'll know it when you feel it. The scrot I cobbled the other day hefted heavy compared to the mk2 scrot from NCF, and that had/has its own weighty charm.

I used popcorn as bagfill, by the way, doublebagged in dollar-store nylon socks. Good beany mass.

Downunda it would definitely be a 'scrote' (rhymes with 'boat').

Fascinating sport this 'scrotoss', it seems to have much in common with a much loved Aussie / NZish game popular in the early 80's called 'Farnarkling'.

A quote from an 80's sports report "Dave Sorenson lost his position as captain of the Australian Farnarkling Team when he inadvertantly shot the Gonad across the Umlat during the all important match deciding third Warble thereby allowing the crack East German Farnakling Machine to score and proceed to the semi finals!!" As it turned out, Australia did go on to win that series, despite being knocked out in the semis, if I recall correctly.

Farnarkling is a simple game, the goal being to 'arkle' the 'gonad' along the 'farn' as many times as possible during the 'warble', of which there are three. Fouls occur when you cross the 'umlaut' or get tangled in the safety netting. Groin strain is the most common injury in this sport.

I think the inserts of a scrote would be properly referred to as the 'nads' with the singluar being a 'nad'. I can see that a Regulation Scrote would be prefereable, as the sock-based scrote would abrade, producing the decidedly non-regulation 'hairy scrote'. Maybe the 'nads' can be the Antipodean variation. I'm itching to try this sport out this week - I'm on holiday and already have the Bombay Saphire gin ready, so 'scrotoss' would go well with that, I think.

Well well, Scrotoss is making it's way to the big leagues. So far as the spelling and pronunciation goes, I prefer the always obvious "scrote", but I haven't any suggestions so far as size/weight goes.
I'm a big fan of the mk2 scrote from NCF, it was a real classy step up from the double-sock mk1. And I don't know if you remember, Mr. Knotley, but the the four kids with the big tent(Sean, Shawn, Corin and Marie) all thought tossing the leather-bound mk2 scrote was a damn good way to spend a rather hazy North Country evening.

Does anyone play this in the northeast Atlantic area? This is such a ribald idea...
