    That's quite extreme, I'd say it counts. I take it the chair didn't hit him?

    It did hit, but he's still alive ... no permanent damage done! I think.

    I should've pursued a career as a pitcher in baseball, or something. I'm deadly accurate at throwing things

    Me too, I played handball when I was young, I even played 4 years for the luxembourgish national team. And with 18, I had a surgery with my intervertebral discs, and my career was over

    That is quite bad enjoying playing a sport and then having to give up due to injury. Do you still play any other sports?

    I was never that great at most sports, but that was probably more because I didn't really find many I took a great interest in so was never that motivated to become good at them. I did used to enjoy volleyball, badminton and Tennis, but I couldn't say I was actually that good at any of them, especially tennis! I did used to be really good at 10 pin bowling and archery but haven't done either on a regular basis for many years now so wouldn't be up to my old standard.

    One sport I am still good at is rifle shooting so you had all better watch out!

    If you haven't played a classic game in years, it's never too late to start!

    Sorry to hear that, DC. Were you planning on becoming professional, or was it just for fun?

    Nope, but I'm quite good at sports, handball, football, basketball, volleyball, waterpolo...

    Not really, at that time, I didn't think of it, as we have no pro handball in Luxembourg. One player of us went to Denmark later and became pro.

    I am beginning to worry that Harrison and I may be clones...
