Before I describe this game I would like to share a little history about the Circus Peanut. It is unclear who invented the Circus Peanut. It’s one of those things like the South Beach diet and the radionuclide that leaves the common man dumbfounded regarding its creation. The Circus Peanut though is one of the few objects on this planet, aside from the moon rock, that people overwhelmingly consider extraterrestrial. A little known fact about the Circus Peanut: At the 1927 premiere of the first talking movie, “The Jazz Singer,” Circus Peanuts were the third best selling candy not made out of chocolate. The Circus Peanut Fishing Game can be played with as few as two players. There is no limit to the number of players that can be involved. The only requirement is to have a fishing pole and a circus peanut on the end of the line. The goal of the game is to catch the best animal. Fish do count, but prove to be tricky. Usually a time is allotted for the capture to take place and then the players get together to show off their catches to a panel of judges. Usually the judges’ panel is made up from moms in the neighborhood. Though they are not required to follow it, these mothers are encouraged to at least allow the spectrum of trappings table to be a guide. According to the guide: Bird is better than insect. Cat is better than bird. Mouse is tied with rooster. Tiger is better than llama. An elephant results in immediate victory. game created by Mark Baumer
