The Soggy Biscuit Game

I've a mate who is ex-military and he often goes on about their crap eating contests. Basically they all poo and the one who does the smallest eats the biggest.

Oh how the defenders of our realm whiled away the long winter nights.

Actully, the reason I brought up the topic is that it is a spesific urban legend which is, in britain, always aplyed to one clearly defined section of the population only, namingly as I said in my first post, the male progeny of rich English upperclass people (these people are often attendees of posh bording schools and often rugby players).

Nope - there were those that played it when I was at school (a dog-rough comprehensive). Yes, it exists.

And no, I haven't, thank you very much.
 
I've heard it about:-

  • Private School Boys (specifically Eton - no pun)
  • Rumours at my School
  • University Rugby Teams
  • Squaddies
  • Submariners
  • Sailors

Go figure...
 
Something similar took place when I was at (public, admittedly)school and spending the night in a dorm as part of an outdoors pursuits camp (aged 14). It didn't involve biscuits, but there was plenty of simulataneous and public masturbation, with porn mags strewn all over the place.

I cowered under the sheets while this went on, but bizarrely, being asked to take part was something of an act of initiation into the "in" set. Only the "lads" tended to do this. So had I been asked, I would probably have felt unable to decline for reasons of social pressure.
 
So what we're saying is that military folks, upper class nobs, rugby players and dog rough comprehensive kids are a bunch of wankers.

I'm waiting for some kind of a revelation there....

BUT.... intellectual point coming up.... why? How did this evolve? In what way is this some kind of bonding process? (Apart from maybe bonding two Rich Teas together).
 
Male bonding is a strange thing... look at the Frat house hazings. Or Stag Party pranks. Last Stag do I was at I was authorised by the Groom to use lethal force on anyone who attempted to get him superglued to anything (I was Best Man). Sufficed to say, with me on body guard duty, it was an uneventful evening, despite one guy who will probably have a bald patch until death... there again, he now knows that 'I really don't think that that is a good idea' means 'I REALLY don't think that's a good idea!', so it was probably a good object lesson... The Groom was pleased anyway...

Yes, but what we all want to know is, did he have to beat one off over a McVities digestive?

a/s/l lol kewl u no wot I mean?:D

I've heard of this game in a (not too serious) book about self-dicipline for Tory (see what I mean about it not being too serious) MPs (this was from the John Major era). It was reffered to as notorious publicschoolby game "Jack the Biscuit" in there, but I think i've lowered the tone of this thread by mentioning the Tory party haven't I?;)

Strange to say, no-one suggested it in my hearing. :D
 
This was certainly a game I'd heard about in my youth "up north", via an older (comprehensive school) friend who claimed to have played it. As I recall, I think a jammie dodger was involved (ah, the 1970's!!) and yes the loser had to eat the result. It seemed to be some teenage demonstration of hetrosexual sexual prowess, although why the measure of ones sexual performance seemed to involve how quickly one could ejaculate now escapes me!!

Possibly a "friend of a friend" story as I swear I was never tempted!:nooo:

That was something I pondered when I first heard of the game...
 
I first heard of this in the eighties, when I went out with a boy from a minor (very) public school. He didn't claim to have played the Digestive Game himself, but he had seen it done.
My theory is the food is so bad in boarding schools it was the only way they could get enough protein.:p

And surely doing it quickly is an advantage in a dorm environment, which is why the ruling classes make such lousy lovers (alledgedly).
 
Reading this thread instead of working on my Linguistics Hand-In Assignment made me notice that the taskbar buttons read "Fortean Times Messa..." "Lingustics - Hand-In Ass..."

:rolleyes:
 
When I was in high school there was a rumour that a group of boys got busted doing this in a local boys boarding school.

However, the game was called "Soggy Sao's". (Sao's being the name of the biscuits used.)

Everyone at our all-girls school was convinced it was true and were all righteously grossed out. :cross eye
 
I've heard of it, obviously, but only from boarding school types, which we don't have a lot of up here.

I did some work for a Fire Authority in the North West of England a few years ago and heard about the Biscuit Game as a means for firemen to pass the time while waiting for a call-out.

That's one...but in general we aren't really big on boarding schools here, which appears to be a good thing, from the stories I've heard.

"there is some corner of a foreign field....."

In some areas older youngetsres (eh???) have to commute weekly, monthly or termly to get to school - lots of highlands and islands littering up the landscape you know. But they aren't of the structure or tradion of what is usually thought of as "Boarding School".


Mu muminlaw was a house mistress at various boarding schools for 20 years ish and she says it ain't the same in Scotland - they were hoping for her to get a job up here for quality of life at one point.

Re: The Soggy biscuit game?

O.K. I've heard that the American rock group Limp Bizkit (sp) named themselves after a variation of this game's name.
I've also heard that the group the Circle Jerks named themselves after this game. The CJs were around first so I guess that makes them more original. :rolleyes:
 
Yeah but no but yeah...

When I was studying German at uni, we read a play called Frühlings Erwachen (Spring Awakening) by Frank Wedekind; it's about the transformation from childhood into adolescence/young adulthood and for its day (late 19th Century?) it dealt with quite controversial issues - teenage pregnancy, suicide, etc.
I'm sure there's a scene in that where several boys, residents at a boarding school, indulge in a contest where they all jerk off onto a biscuit.
 
Yes! I saw Spring Awakening staged in English when I was a student
and was startled by that scene. I don't think there was any biscuit, though,
just a circle of chums enjoying a bit of a get-together.

I think there are accounts of such group-amusements in Havelock Ellis. I'll
have a look later but it's a wicked book to be browsing in after lights out in
the dorm. :p
 
<<< Yes! I saw Spring Awakening staged in English when I was a student and was startled by that scene.>>>

You mean, they did it on the stage??

Guys, did you have to pull all this out? Where's the moderator when he is needed??:rolleyes:
 
I've heard this a lot.....I think theres some truth too it all...

Besides...I didn't want dinner anyway :cross eye

Maybe i'll have some tea and biscuits later ;)
 
In the US, this game is known as Ookie Cookie.

Why in the hell do I know that?
 
And now we in the UK know why Oreo Cookies are so awful . . .:eek!!!!: :cross eye

Never heard it called that. Mostly it's just called Buiscuit. Except where I went to school it was called Bread and by the way, I knew a couple people who I'm quite positive played it. In fact the only reason I've ever heard of this game is that these people told me they'd been playing it.:eek!!!!: Whether or not that's true, I just wouldn't doubt it.

Then when I told my brother about it, he said "oh, you mean Biscuit!" So I decided there should be a whole series of these games: Pancake, Pop Tart, Hand...
