Stone skimming, also known as skiting, is the art of throwing a flat stone across the surface of a body of water and attempting to bounce it as many times as possible. They were drawn to songs such as "Zip Coon", "Fashionable Fred", "Razors in the Air", and "The Man With the Seal-Skin Pants": acts in which blackface dandies strutted the stage in sharply extravagant dress, skiting about their accomplishments with a deliberately burlesque panache. Apparently the guy driving hit a wave the wrong way, knocking him out the boat which then turned and went skiting 20 yards up the shore. |
