I hear you JJ. I'm sure I could throw one of those annoying 2-way Nextels (beep-beep-bleeep) a pretty good distance. They should start a stone skipping contest with those.
Not owning a cell phone, Weedy, that's pretty amazing. I don't even remember how I used to meet my friends out without one anymore. However, I absolutely hate people using the commute as a chance to tell their friend about, like, how, like, their date, like, last night was!
... or whatever.
I fully expected this to be some promo/PR event for one of the cell phone companies. I'm glad to see it wasn't. But there was a freestyle event? This thread is useless without YouTube. And indeed, nice one tommytrump.
97 yards? That is one hell of a throw. He must have had the phone open and when it flew it was like a helicopter blade going through the air. But then if you think about it, baseball players can throw a guy out on the fly from the outfield. Some of those throws are close to 100 yards.
This is gotta be the stupidest sport ive heard of in some time- except maybe that irish street bowling. And Cody- ultimate frisbee is a very competitive sport, which thousands of people play. Many colleges also have frisbee teams, since it is now recognized as an official sport. btw- Nice one TT
And Cody- ultimate frisbee is a very competitive sport, which thousands of people play. I think he was referring to the Discus.
Doesn't sound as much fun as this, but it might be a little more sanitary. It has gone international, so, never say never. The rules are simple. I associate both sports with consumption of large quantities of fermented beverages...
I think he was referring to the Discus. My bad, I just read over his post really quick- sorry Cody.
Maybe they threw it in a fit of laughter after hanging up on Al Davis!
No problem Kendall. I would never denigrate the fine sport of Frisbee. As for it being a strange sport, well I think sport is what you make of it and I just love the more bizarre/offbeat sports. After awhile ya get tired of the same old day in day out baseball, football, hockey, etc.
If I can stop laughing long enough, I feel compelled to comment. It would be a better sport if the more obnoxious cell 'phone users could be thrown along with their 'phones. This event should be held at the edge of a very high cliff. Of course, I'm guilty of being a cell 'phone slob on more than one occasion, so maybe I'll just jump. Can you hear me now????
I expect this means Russell Crowe now has a hobby.
i don't get it steelergirl... why do you have to go there anyways? let the poor old man be...
I was told by a Finn that an old Finnish saying is that "In summer in Finland, all there is to do is fish and f*ck. In winter, the fishing isn't so good." I guess they have three things to do now.
I expect this means Russell Crowe now has a hobby. Considering the size of the out of court settlement that clerk probably got for not pressing charges Crowe can throw a phone at me anytime.
radrguy, Just making a joke, no diss to Al. I was a black and silver fan before I was a black and gold fan. Wish them the best of luck this year.
