I have 12 kids: one from my first marriage, 11 from my second, and none from my third.
Given my love of sports, one of my 11 kids (from my second marriage) asked me to participate in his school's candy throwing contest this Thursday night from 7 to 8:30 pm. The school is holding the event as a fundraising activity. They are referring to the candy throwing as "the world's newest sport."
Naturally I don't want to miss any quality time with my son. But I'm not too happy with the school calling candy throwing a sport.
Quite frankly, I don't believe "candy throwing" should be considered a sport at all, and the very notion the school uses "candy throwing" and "sport" in the same sentence nauseates me.

Mort how can you not see that Candy Throwing IS indeed a Sport ...I know it often gets lumped in with the whole X-games aura or is it ora , whatever .
Yes its Extreme and not everyone can do it . Balance sheer determination quickness(of body and mind) and mental toughness are crucial . You know it started as something surfers skateboarders and snowboarders could do when they werent boarding around , and had Candy . Candy throwing is now taking over the beaches of Southen California ...next the world! Mort, you are usually dead on , but this time you are just WRONG /// love icky
