Shoeshoes
Apparently, the game of Shoeshoes is like Horseshoes or perhaps even Quoits, which is very like horseshoes except that it is played with things that look like oversized washers and are sometimes made of rope. Shoeshoes, on the other hand, involves a pair of human shoes whose laces have been tied together, and a chair.
Shoeshoes should also not be confused with Shoreshoes, as described in the the much vaunted Junkyard SportsĀ® Hall of Fame (though it fails to point out how cleverly the letters of horseshoes can be used to spell shoreshoes).
As for Shoeshoes, one evidentally throws one's tied-together shoes in such a way as to get them to hang on a leg, or perhaps even straddle the seat. Different points are awarded for different configurations as they occur.
The required distance one is to stand from the chair, the preferred chair, as well as lace-length and shoe size, have not yet been established.
