One of the fun games we used to play when I wer a servin man in Royal Navy is 'The Dance of the Flaming Arse-Holes'. This involved screwing up a news paper, clenching same newspaper betwixt bum cheeks, setting the end alight and hopping around in a circle. The winner being the one who lasted the longest

.
As for marker pens these were used to enhance the looks of matelot's who could not keep up with the crowd and passed out.
It was a MAN'S life in the RN back in the day..
