Here we have it folks, the rules to the game 'Yeehaw', as best as I can remember. I feel the need to point out that anytime someone asks a question about the game, they drink. If anyone answers, they drink as well. Anybody who messes up drinks (that goes without saying), and anyone who messes up the motions drinks as well. It's a fast paced, rowdy game. At the beginning, ideally there will be two people who know the rules, and no one else does. The idea is that they have to pick up the rules as they play, making for some amusing situations. In order to play, all participants need to have a drink with them and be seated in a circle, the larger the better.
Yeehaw : Make a sweeping, one handed pointing motion in the direction you wish for play to go. Next person either needs to repeat the gesture and phrase, or substitute in any of the other motions. Play continues, same direction. If a person does the gesture wrong, points in the wrong direction, or takes too long, they drink.
A-frame : Make an "A" over your head with your arms. It skips the person who would normally be next, the person after the person skipped continues with a 'Yeehaw!' or any other action.
Pitchfork : Make a pitchforking gesture. Play reverses direction, skipping the person beside you, with the person it skipped to needing to continue with a 'Yeehaw!' or any other action.
Barfight : Make a pointing gesture to two players. The two chosen slap hands together in a high fiving motion until one gives in. The loser drinks.
Toss that Barrel: Make a throwing motion, as with a basketball, towards any player. Throws the order off, anyone who gets 'thrown' at has to either: 1) toss that barrel to someone else, 2) Say "barn doors closed" and the original person has to toss that barrel to someone new, or 3) Continue with a "Yeehaw!", in which case play continues from the "Yeehaw!".
Hoodenani : Make a crossed arms motion, pointing at the people on either side of you. Splits play into two seperate threads, where the people on either side of the "Hoodenani!" have to continue play with "Yeehaw!" or any other action.
Gunfight : Point at two people. Play pauses as they make finger pistols and say "bangbangbangbang" until one runs out of breath. The loser of the gunfight drinks.
Quickdraw : Point at two people, they have to pull out a finger pistol and shoot the other by saying "Bang!". Last one to say "bang" and shoot the other loses and has to drink.
Tumbleweed : Everyone stands up, twirls around, and sits back down. Last one down drinks.
Hoedown: Everyone drinks.
And there it is, the rules to the most excellent game of "Yeehaw!" Sure to be a riot in any situation where there happen to be people drinking.
