Whirlyball is a sport.


It is unique and interesting, and a lot more fun for me to describe by giving a few details at a time.

You try to score points using one of these:

But you can only touch it using one of these:

You score points by throwing it and hitting the little box on one of these:

This is all accomplished on a nice big indoor court.


So far so good?

A couple of rules.
* You can't stand up
* You can't walk around
* You can't crawl
* You can't roll
* You can't jump.

Why not?
[SPOILER:2492ec159d]Because to play this game, everyone drives one of these:

You can bump other people, you can pass to your teammates, you can cut people off.[/SPOILER:2492ec159d]

Lastly, before a match this is encouraged:

I have played before with a group of friends and it was absolutely one of the most fun events I have ever been to. I am going again later this fall and am looking forward to having another awesome time.

Is this a team sport or one on one like Racketball? I, imagine team sport, but either way this looks intriguing, hmmm

King, I apologize, last night I was supposed to go out for Pizza at Modern. Unfortunately they were closed for the evening and we had to find another place to eat. So we went to Sally's.

It was beyond delicious, and worth the 2 hour wait for our food.
