My daughters school did this for a fundraiser, I figured I had to see this. I know the pictures aren't anything special and am not looking for any CC, just thought the whole thing was absurd and funny. Surprised no one got hurt, a few donkeys were bucking the kids off.     and yes, my daughter's team was named "Honkeys on Donkeys", I don't know where she got her sense of humor from? -Chris

The donkey handler/owner was very strict about no kicking the donkeys to make them go faster. It was fun to do, but somehow it just seemed wrong lol. www.photosbyeric.smugmug.com

cstewart Goldmember  More info | May 01, 2010 11:33 | #8 I don't really see the padded shoes on these guys? Also, even with them on, as a school administrator or AD, I would be very hesitant to allow this on what looks like a nice hardwood basketball court. Why not just play a regular game for fundraising? Or do something with the animal outside!! Please Check Out My Work at:

Not to mention they crapped all over the court, luckily after I left. -Chris

It was always good for a big laugh. Varsity b-ball vs faculty. Thankfully, I don't remember too many droppings issues! Gary W. Gary, I played in one of these back in the mid eighties as well. It was fun as I recall. Then again, lots of things that made no sense seemed fun when I was 17! Scott Evans Photography
