L. Marcus Posted April 8, 2013 Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 One Midsummer's Eve we came up with the brilliant (i.e., "filtered through about five beers each") new game of Frisbee Rugby. I almost broke a friend's cheek within the first three seconds -- luckily, said cheekbones are rather massive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cancer Posted April 8, 2013 Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 Remind me someday when I have time to write about 1500 words about the only-played-twice game of gnatpuckey, which involves a golf ball, a bucket of sand, and an otherwise empty garage with lots of rafters. There are reasons we only played it twice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazza Posted April 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 Rugby is one of those games I'd try if I was 35 years younger than I am now' date=' and knew more about it. [/quote'] reckon you would be good at it too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cancer Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 Maybe. I'm not that big ... 177 cm tall, and when I was in any sort of shape only 77 kg, and I was never fleet of foot. Not afraid to take a hit, but it takes a bit more than that.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cancer Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 Again, I could take that. But rugby in the US was even more of a splinter sport then than it is now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
