So There's This Game Called Long Donkey. . .
A group of young men can play, I think a minimum of 8 or so. First, a dude stands up against a tree, then his buddy sticks his head in his crotch. Then, another friend sticks his head up that guys rear end and so on so that the formation is complete, as seen below. The Long Donkey is ready for attack. . . from behind. Some other dudes take a running start and jump from behind onto the Donkey, trying to topple it. I'm sure every culture has a similar game for young groups of heterosexual men. There's nothing gay or weird about it. Check out that one guy showing the victory sign. “I like to ride my friends” he seems to say. In a fun platonic way.

Update - they play this game in Greece and Dubai as well and sometimes it is called "cushion" instead of Long Donkey. Still working on finding an accurate description of the game's history and meaning.
It's also played in America. Bill Cosby has an old bit about it where he calls the game Buck Buck, I believe.
