Bucking the Tiger
A move traditionally used by contestants participating in the National Falcon Punching Contest. This move involves taking a stuffed falcon, holding it up in the air, and then catching it with your other hand. Afterwards, you start smashing the stuffed falcon with all of your might against a nearby stallion. Traditionally, the stuffed falcon is provided to the contestant by their grandmother.
"Well," Grandpa says, "back in the old days when I was a kid they used to have this thing called the National Falcon Punching Contest. It was stupid and dangerous, just like this one. Anyway, this one year they decided to add a twist to it. Instead of punching a falcon, they made you try to punch a Tiger..."
"What happened?" you ask.
"The tiger killed everybody."
"Oh."
"Except one guy. He was a real champ. Bogdan the Mountain Man! Ever heard of him?"
"No, I don't think so..." you say.
"Ah, well he's dead now, anyway. But, he named the incident "Bucking the Tiger." So, wanna go find your Dad? He's probably at the casino!"
