The 2005 Play-Catch-With-Genia-In-Atlanta Thread

[Billfred]

Alright, so it all started like this...

Yummmmmmmm GLOMP: let me have my fun
BillfredLeventis: yeah, but you try being 5'11" and 255.
Yummmmmmmm GLOMP: You try being 5'1" and 105!
Yummmmmmmm GLOMP: People use me to play catch
(snip)

So it appears as though we're starting a game of catch with Genia in Atlanta. Who's in?

(disclaimer: Trained professionals. Do not try this at home. Offer not valid when combined with any other offer. Second toss must be of equal or lesser value. All rights reserved. Very few actually used. Many will enter, few will win. AND BE SAFE, DARNIT!)

[Eugenia Gabrielov]

Ha! I am ready! You will not topple my short might!

In other news, this has happened before. I have been used for catch. I am short. Perhaps it can be the entertainment portion of the webhug? Who can throw Genia the furthest, eh...

[Arefin Bari]

I am game.

...after we are done with her, can I hang her upside down?


-Arefin.

[Eugenia Gabrielov]

Of course you can hang me upside down. Then I'll get taller, thus ruining the purpose. Seriously, I have a few rules for volunteers:

1) Safety first. Yes, I can do gymnastics. No, this is not the matrix. So uh, no throwing off of high places. Just a simple happy game of catch.

2) All in good fun! If you have tension, I prefer you take it out with me over PM (not in this thread) prior to the throwing contest, for the sake of my functionality in pit design.

3) . Billfred, I still win...

[Barry Bonzack]

Can we turn this into a yearly tradition, like the CD web hug?

Play-Catch-with-Genia?
that has always been my favorite game! even since way back in the day!
I can remember sitting out on a hot summer day, and then we would roll Genia into a ball and start a nice little game called "don't drop Genia!" or "DDG" for short.
I would definitely be up for volunteering for this event. You guys can get ahold of me for some help if you need it. I can probably even bring in some recruits from my team (since they all met her at kokomo!).
Now i have 2 reasons to count down till nationals!

This sounds like a lot of fun. The first time I actually meet Genia face-to-face, she could be rolled into a ball, flying through the air! (note: I, too, am short, but I would not like to be thrown. I have no sport skills except for bowling and mini-golf, so I have a feeling I would just hurt myself. I'm quite clumsy as it is. Let's not add becoming airborne to the mix).

[Cyberguy34000]

I can see a new national sports phenomena coming...

[Levin571]

As long as we're on the topic of tossing Genia, we should also do the web glomp which if i understand this correctly she defines it as:

Yummmmmmmm GLOMP: glomp:
An affectionate tackle-hug. A combination of pounce, tackle, huggle and squish.

[Pat McCarthy]

Count me in for this historic occasion, the first WebGlomp!

[Sakura141]

Sounds like fun! I glomp my friends all the time at school ^.^

[Dorienne]

I'm short too, but I wouldn't wanna be thrown. I'm not as skinny as Genia is...
But hey I'll definitely join in, if I can throw and catch her...oh boy..
If I break any bones of yours, Genia..I apologize. <3

[Jay H 237]

Do we actually have to throw her or can we shoot her out of a cannon like they do at the circus?!

[Eugenia Gabrielov]

Whatever you guys want.

Remember, I only have to grow 1/8 of an inch until I hit 5'2".

LOL Dori! I'm a freaking kosher vegitarian! I can't even hit 5'2"! -_-. I'm the little caboose that couldn't! But like said, I'm imposing when I stand on top of a box.

[GateRunner]

"And now...the flying G!"
