I'm so sad. So.... Bongs for prizes. Terrible stuff. It's amazing how long people can talk about this. Some people even resorting to name calling. Poor Dan. The guy meant well...I guess I shouldn't say that exactly. He didn't mean harm. There. I played in the tournament and I know Dan alright. Good guy. Hey the Hackey Sacks for every team was a wicked idea. Give some credit there. So...Dan... I've done some pretty stupid things in my life I don't apologise for. We all have. Anyhow to the point... 1. Bongs for prizes bad... seemed like a fun idea at the time. You could apologise or not. Oh well. Probably good it happened. Now the UK ultimate world is awake to being careful about things like that and I think for the teachers out there, everyone in the community learned a lesson not to promote illegal things in sport even if it is a somewhat underground sport. I think the likelyhood of this happening again anywhere in the UK is pretty much nil. Ask Dan. I'm sure nobody wants the hassle he's been going through. 2. Team names that refer to naughty sexual things etc... I'm surprised nobody has brought up the thought that having a team name of Mange le Foo Foo might offend some women as much as Bongs for prizes might offend people. Mixed references like Random Fling I see no real problem with but Mange le Foo Foo? Do I have any support here from any girls on BritDisc? If not I'll shut up. Some dubious characters out there complaining. In fact I learned how to spell spliff reading the complaints. I did think the person that put a capital 'S' on 'Spliff' when referring to a spliff holder let something a little Freudian slip out there. I'm done. ( 'Good!' you're all saying collectively) Let's all shut up now and not do it again. BUF...you're great... don't change a thing after all...it's supposed to be self refereeing isn't it? Steve ps. Perhaps someday cannibus will be legal and we'll all be able to do some work instead of writing emails.
