I did a little research, spoke to a couple of my contacts at the Met, and actually found out that this is a game called squall, which involves beating a goose with a stick on Shrove Tuesday.
Es nedaudz papētīju, parunāju ar pāris paziņām Metropolitēna muzejā un noskaidroju, ka viņi spēlē spēli, ko sauc par skvailu, kurā ar nūju jāsit zoss Meteņos.
