HAT THROWING: A WARNING FROM HISTORY


I'm throwing my hat into the ring to be a judge in the World Championships of Hat Throwing.

It's a world where throwing your hat - accurately - into a ring is paramount, and those who cannot throw their hat into the ring are cast out as losers.

After a recent split from those who throw their hats onto a spike or a so-called hat-stand, very much like the game of quoits, the World Competitive Hat Throwing Council re-asserts its drive for utmost accuracy and fair play in hat-throwing and will have nothing to do with the branch of the sport that is little more than a fairground game.

And, as such, we are now at war with the World Competitive Hat Throwing Board. While they have the weight of numbers, we have the dead-eye accuracy which will have this struggle over by Christmas, and the traditional World Competitive Santa Hat Throwing Championships.

Hats, everybody!

I am not mad.

Take no notice, SD.

I for one, take my hat off to you.

This means nothing to me. You may not be mad, but you might be weird.

I will now prove I am not a robot by typing 'tichaten gentiec'. Apparently robots can't do this. It doesn't seem difficult to me. Robots must be a bit shit.

Isn't this more accurately referred to as 'tossing' your hat into the ring? Therefore the participants are more correctly referred to as 'a bunch of tossers' ?
