Knick-Knack Paddywhacking, Ranked by Difficulty
I have no idea what it is, but I’ll be damned if that stops me from ranking it
10. (Least difficult) Up in Heaven
This is a controversial call. “You’ll need to have at least a near-death experience to get in on this kind of extreme knick-knack,” you say. “Flatlining isn’t something you should mess around with.” But hear me out.
This man is old. He probably made it to Heaven from a completely unrelated event, maybe a mini stroke. And once you’re in, the knick-knack playing is a cinch.
9. Once again
I don’t know where knick-knack is being played in this scenario, but this old man is no longer a novice. He’s got a system worked out.
8. On my gate
Still simple and low-risk. He could be playing knick-knack out there right now and I’d be none the wiser.
7. On my sticks
Once this old man gets past my gate, he’ll have to bend down to play on the sticks. He might be slow getting back up, but he’ll likely have plenty of time to do it without getting caught. I hardly ever go in my yard this time of year.
