 November
3, 2007 - Someone turned on the turbo fans, as Bridgeville,
Delaware became one gusty and cold place to throw pumpkins. The
after effects of the tropical storm Noel really played havoc
with all teams on day 2.
Yankee Siege threw barely 1,000 feet, PumpkinHammer threw a
paltry 713 feet, and Merlin had a little blooper backthrow that
went into the crowds. Speaking of crowds and backthrows,
the World Championships experienced their first spectator
incident, as the team from the University of Tennessee had a
line drive that went directly into the crowd. All action was
stopped for about an half an hour as emergency crews attended to
the injured spectator.
Also, there was some controversy this morning as Team Chucky's
amazing 3,000 foot throw on the first day was disallowed because
the pumpkin had cracked while it was in the air. The Association
handled the episode very professionally and voted that it was a
pie. To their credit, Team Chuck graciously accepted their
decision. But hell, what do you expect from my fellow Jersey
boys!!!
Yankee Siege and PumkinHammer put on a show for the crowds
during the free throw event. In fact, both teams performed a
simultaneous throw which brought the crowd wild!!!
Tonight, the teams of PumkinHammer, Merlin, Yankee Siege, and
WarHammer met for our annual dinner. We also had special guests
but I'm under contract that I can not discuss it... These folks
are great friends and good people.
More to come...
