I used to live next door to Trinity High School (NYC)

They practiced track events on the roof top athletic field.

That included Javelin throw.

I always thought that odd.

Also FTFA:
Ryan McGeeney, who works for the Ogden-based Standard-Examiner, was struck just below the knee Saturday morning while shooting the nearby discuss competition.

He was posting to TFD?

One of my brothers participated in the javelin catch once.

Once.

How did the wheelchair hurdle event go???

Oh, sweet Concorde, you shall not have perished in vain!

My grandfather used to officiate for track and field events at the local colleges around where I live. He had a javelin go through his leg once and have to get a steal plate put into his thigh.

He was a badass.

Spear me the details.

I came for the bad puns. I was not disappointed. Thanks overlord.

did i beat everybody to it ..

a steal plate?

a freaking steal plate?

I mean...really?

A friend of mine hit someone on the head in shot put.

ah3133: did i beat everybody to it ..

Thank you came hear for that.

anyways....as a young fellow in Philadelphia, I was playing in a soccer game one day when, on the adjacent field (over a rather high hedge, mind you...) a football player shanked a punt attempt...

hit me in the back of the head....

///fun///

really?

I mean...really?

/lazy today

You never here the javelin with your name on it...

FuturePastNow:A friend of mine hit someone on the head in shot put.

Similar thing happened when I was in high school. Some girl going to the tennis courts decided to cut across the field when track practice was going on. Took it right in the bewbies.

/And YES, I'm enough of a douche to admit it was the same HS Obama went to.

walnuts55: ah3133: did i beat everybody to it ..

Watch out walnuts55, I HEAR the homophone police are HERE today in force...

Gobobo: What's your point?

His Points are as followed:

1. He used to live next door

2. They have a roof top athletic field.

3. They used it for practice (including javelin)

4. He thought it odd.

I hope that clears it up for you

"that's a fraction! i don't understand them!"

Gobobo: And your point is?

My point is I have no point. Other then to snark at you for having none yourself.

wow...I have created my own cliche!!!

And now it's time for Silly Songs with Larry. The part of the thread where Larry comes out and sings a silly song...

Whether, whether, whether, whether
Whether you like it or not
Weather, weather, weather, weather
Weather is cold, warm and hot.

Two, two, two, two
Two of my favorite toys
I'm bringing to, to, to, to
A place the first one enjoys...
and I like it, too!

Homophones! Homophones!
Where the crews come cruising down the plane!
Homophones! Homophones!
I need my kneaded biscuits plain!

I know a pear, pear, pear, pear
With a pair of really soft shoes.
He wears them to pare, pare, pare, pare
Bushes that easily bruise.

I planted rows, rows, rows, rows
of a horribly bad smelling rose
Now no one knows, knows, knows, knows
If the scent will be leaving my nose!
But most likely no.

Oh!
Homophones! Homophones!
Where the toads are towed out on the plane!
Homophones! Homophones!
I need my kneaded biscuits plain!

Whether, whether, whether, whether,
Whether you like it or not
Weather, weather, weather, weather
Weather is cold, warm and hot.

Spelling aside, I concur that measuring the javelin at college/school track & field events is hardcore.

You can stand outside the edge of the 'legal' zone, but that doesn't mean that Big Jock from the rugby team can actually aim the damn thing.

Don't javelin me, bro.

Wow, with all of the snark in this thread, I am betting everyone has PMS this week.

What's your point?

People throwing Javelins while on the roof of buildings in crowded cites.

Think about it really, really hard.

Javelin catching seems to be a chronic problem among the McGree-whatevers.

As a photographer who has been struck by an errant javelin, I'm really getting a kick out of these replies.

/Ok, not really.
//But Tony Hawk did nail me with his skateboard when I was shooting him once.
///And I was intimately acquainted with the underside of Blair Morgan's sled.
////It's a dangerous business.
//Sports Photogs = Bad Ass.
//Slashies FTW.

it would be great if he were hittng on a girl when it happened.

photographer: "so, did it hurt?"
girl: "did what hurt?"
photographer: "when you fell down from h-"

( javelin impales him, girl screams )

Just in case you don't know what a photographer looks like:



KUTV has you covered

Needs a "You're doing it WRONG" caption....

I'm steal hear.

lelio: Just in case you don't know what a photographer looks like:

alright, I almost never really laugh out loud (screw the acronym) but this got a genuine guffaw outta me. nice work.

/as a photographer, I'm getting a kick out of these replies...

Imagine how surprised he must have been.

/obscure?
