Wacky UK sport is a "toerrific" good time

(CBS) - Feel like you're too late to become amazing at football, baseball or basketball?  Are you looking for an obscure "sport" to excel in so you can show off to your friends and family?  Do you have good foot control?

If you answered yes to all of those questions, I have just the thing for you in the video below: Toe Wrestling.

2011 actually marks the 35th anniversary of the odd sport that was invented in a pub (shocking, I know) in the UK in 1976. The rules are simple: in a best of three, contestants lock their big toes and attempt to push their opponent's foot outside the boundary on the side.

According to The Telegraph this year's event was dominated by the sports two biggest stars, Paul "Predatoe" Beach (formerly the Toeminator) and Alan "Nasty" Nash, who look exactly how you might imagine toe wrestling stars to appear.

For more about this annual event, you can read the story by The Telegraph here.
