Desperado is a Spanish archaism that described a desperate soul whose impatience lead to violent or reckless actions. A Desperado Duel is a time-honoured sport that entertains both the violent and the reckless, not for the weak hearted duelling requires contenders who understand the complexities of such a sport. The Donk, a familiar sound amongst the bars here in
Courchevel, is at the core of a Desperado Duel as one contender successfully thwacks the rim of their opponentÃs bottle aiming to cause as much spray as possible. A multitude of controversies have evolved as contenders, over time, have deceived and thus distorted this simple idea. For example, it is totally unacceptable at any point in the game to Donk with any other item other than a Desperado bottle. It is frowned upon to employ the ëthumbing techniqueà to protect the rim. Outsiders involved in the tactics of the game are objectionable, more than 2 players are undesirable, complaints about rounds are intolerable, crying over wet clothes is offensive and pre-sip thwacks are encouraged.
This all culminates in the raw fact that the only rule in a Desperado Duel is that there are no rules, its messy debate and thatÃs why itÃs so fucking fun. God speed duellers and let the Donk be with you.
