I'd just like to take a moment and sing the praises of the "Left Handed Throwing Competition."

This ancient game was first introduced to me by a Native friend who warned us all of it's mystic powers of doubled over laughter.

What ya do is: pick up a stone, pine cone, or tiny little packet of milk or cream like the ones you find at restaurants, and throw it as hard and as far as you can with your "wrong" hand.

The harder you try, the stupider you look, and the funnier it is for all around.

And I promise you: No matter how long and hard you practise, you'll never be able to NOT look like a total gimp tossing with your left hand. I suggest getting a good running start: it adds to the hillarity.

I just helped a friend move and at the conclusion of the trek ,we had a LHTC, tossing things off her 7th floor balcony like a bunch of limp wristed little punks.

For some reason... it just never stops being funny.

Give 'er a try... you'll be glad you did!

It's true! it NEVER stops being funny. It makes tiny towns on long road trips all that much more amusing.

That endorsement coming from the woman, who if I remember correctly, is your current and reinging Mattawa, Ontario Left Handed Throwing Champeen... look for her box of "Wheeties" soon.

It's true. it went so far I didn't even see it go. And I'm 60% sure it didn't go behind me.

That's so true...I played Disc Golf when I was with friends in BC and one time we tried a left hand throwing, and it was such a hilarious but spectacular failure that we gave up after one hole. Not to mention after just a few hard throws the "wrong arm" starts to hurt!

i'm ambidexterous so i guess i'd probably win...

spoilsport! actually that would probably ruin it for you since you would actually have to put effort into looking like a gangly disfigured moron when you're throwing...

I already look like a "gangly disfigured moron" when I'm throwing with my right arm so I don't think I'd appreciate this game very much.

Stop laughing at me!

Gord D would win, hands down (no pun intended)...he's a lefty! Besides, we'd all let him win regardless...

If he's a lefty, I'd make him get as stoned before the competition as he was when I met him backstage in Halifax. That should level the playing field a bit

I should point out that rule 745-B (Just below the rule about: "No golf carts for people with two left feet") of the 2004 (Originally published in 1798) Official Left Handed Throwing Competition Rule Book states:

"Players who have been born with the affliction of left-handedness shall make no attempt to benefit from this terrible and irrevicable disability. Hence, those of said persuasion shall hurl with their right hand."

I was just about to post that, but you beat me to it.
