Bonnie Knee Competition

[george7]

The best Scottish Game, for all ages and athletic ability.

Three ladies (the older and friskier, the better) are picked from the audience. They are blindfolded and sit on chairs. Each has an assistant who takes notes as the lady feels and judges the knee of each man who walks through the line. At the end, they compare notes. The gentleman who is deemed to have the "bonniest (bonnie-est not bony-est) knee" wins.

Anybody who's participated has a great story to tell about it. Perhaps even a prize.

It is judged based on opinion, with no real criteria for what a bonnie knee is.

Feel free to post your stories, variations, or opinions.

I was asked to compete in the bonnie knees competition at the Glasgowlands Scottish festival in central MA last summer, but the thought of having random anonymous women fondling my knees made me feel like a cheap tart so I declined.

I read that as "boniest".. until you explained it. Sounds like a cool game.

I assume only a one legged gentleman can enter this event?

I need to get into one of those contests! Sounds great.

Oh to be a judge of one of them! *sigh*

Is this really a Scottish custom???

There was a thread here a while back on the comments members of the forum have received on their knees from women. I wouldn't repeat the compliment I got from an elder sister at the national gathering of my Order.
