Oh yes, that's a ferret in the pants, laddie. You see, I thought Katie was joking when she told me about "Ferret Legging" tonight on our way to the pool hall. She was just making a silly Draco Malfoy reference, re: Goblet of Fire. But no. There is an actual "sport" called "Ferret Legging". And it really IS what it sounds like. The contestant cinches up the ankles of his trousers, and drops a pair of ferrets down his pants. He then cinches his belt tight, and... sees how long he can ride it out before the pain of two angry carnivores overrides his manly determination to win. Like bull riding, only with even less common sense. Oh, and did I mention - no jock staps, cups, protectors, or even UNDERWEAR is allowed. Yes, the contestants go commando.
