Sounds a bit like the carrier landing game.

1) Consume quantities of alcohol to required level
2) Clear the surface of the bar
3) Pour some liquid across the surface of the bar
4) Run at the bar and then jump onto it and slide along it as far as you can without falling off, or
5) Slide along it and try to catch an arrestor wire (tie/rope/string) with your calves for a successful 'hook'

Naturally, the more alcohol is consumed, the better the game goes.

There's another version called 'Emergency carrier landing' where the above takes place but this time with pockets or other orifices stuffed with tissue and on fire.

I always thought it was toes on the end of the table. Never played though so I could be wrong.

Could be, could well be, makes more sense than rope or that but I guess also it depends on the length of slide, and indeed how much alcohol has been partaken.
