EXTREEEEEEEEEME

Here are a couple of tricks for you to try when you're bored: the baseball bat ninja move, and the rodeo flip.

My athletic days are, mostly, behind me. I say this because when I was in high school I used to go for the trampolines, both the mini (running launch into a full flip) and the larger one (all kindsa stuff). It'd be nice, but I'd have to lose a lot of weight. Used to be a pretty good hand with a baseball, too. Not batting, though -- one of my first Barney McCloskey League at-bats, I got hit a pitch, and that spooked me for the rest of my lone season. Give me softball, please.

What are your favorite athletic achievements? Recent or dim past.

Used to be able to bowl a left-handed googly which was all but un-bat-able. Partly because the *pop* of my shoulder dislocating as I did it would distract the hell out of the batsman! [trick shoulder, it does that and pops back in]. I was fair demon fast bowler too... terrible batsman though, couldn't hit the bloody cricket-ball to save my life.
