A Uniquely Midwestern sport

We were just invited to join a group called Mystery night. There are like 12 couples - once every other month we meet for up for an evening out that we dont find out what it is until we get there. We just get told how to dress and how much it will cost. Saturday night was our first time- we met up at our friend's house, donned painter's suits, and painted 'the rock'.

Then we went back to their house and had pizza and beer, stuffed 20 people in 3 minivans and went to play whirlyball. Yeah, I had never heard of it either. You play a combination of jai lai or lacrosse but while driving bumper cars. It was really fun, and potentially the source of a comfortable retirement from a settlement from a lawsuit. There were five people on a team, and we had to scoop up the ball with the lacrosse racket thing and get it into the overhead goalpost while being rammed by other bumper cars, and while trying to drive the bumper car which had no brakes, just gas, and a hand crank type steering wheel. Not an actual picture of us-

The people who planned the night made it really fun, they had ordered the painters outfits, brought coolers of beer to the rock and the whirlyball court ( yeah, bumper cars and beer!), and awards to the winning teams. And I scored the final goal!
