Chrry Stone Fluffing
Chrry Stone Fluffing
I didn’t know if to post this in the sports section, but decided it was more cultural.
This time of year when cherries are plentiful and cheap, we frequently get together with friends and neighbours for ‘cherry stone fluffing competitions’.
A bucket is placed on the ground then everyone sits equal(ish) distance from it, armed with a large supply of cherries.
The idea is to eat the cherries, and then try to ‘fluff’ the stones into the bucket; the person that gets most in is the winner.
The rules:-
1) Use a metal bucket; it makes a clang when one goes in.
2) Consume plenty of alcohol prior to the ‘fluff off’.
3) Cheat!
4) Lose count, but claim to be the winner anyway.
If anyone else knows of any equally sophisticated games, I’d love to hear about them.

Cherry Stone Fluffing
I imagine the fun is directly related to the quantity of alcohol consumed
It's got to be more fun than football
The past cannot be changed, but the present can be spoilt by worrying about the future

And I thought I had a problem!!!!!! Is this some quaint West Country game by some Somerset Cider Apple Growers Coop, or is it just a game to get everyone to put their pips in somthing rather than on your floor???
I must admit I would like to try it with Bacardi/Cola, ice and a slice!!!

After reading all of this, I still don't understand what cherry fluffing is. Fluffing means f@rting in my neck of the woods. Surely you don't all eat cherries, wait 24 hours and then f@rt the stones into a bucket for fun ! Does anyone play a banjo while you do it. Did anyone watch Deliverance on the telly a few nights ago?
