For all South Africans
-
I prefer the term Faecal Projection, though most in South Africa do indeed just call it dung spitting. Meg is just an amateur if she still uses warthog dung. It is easy to roll and is a good way to learn this fine sport, but as you progress you find the projectile breaks up in mid flight with warthog dung. It's trajectory is also affected by the microfolicules which warthog dung contains. Warthog dung is the VB.NET of the faecal projection world. I prefer a complex concotion of one part hippo, two parts eland and 1/2 part mongoose. Hemp microfibres are mixed into provide high speed retention of moisture. This is all kept moist in a bed of banyan leaves. Banana leaves will also do. The projectiles are only prepared 15 minutes before ejection. Too early and they dry out, too late and they break apart in your mouth. The tongue roll flip is the preferred method of launching the projectile though some new age kids are using the reverse loogey hurl which admitedly is giving us masters a few scares. Next time you are in South Africa you must join us for a braai, some biltong, beer, boerewors and a bit of faecal projection. Fun for the whole family. regards, Paul Watson Bluegrass South Africa Miszou wrote: I have read the entire internet. on how boring his day was. Crikey! ain't life grand?

But in what is undeniably the masters league, Die Boender Boere Bevolk League, mongoose dung is not illegal. We can handle the narcotic effects better than the amateurs. Next time I am up in London we can have a go at seeing who can hit Blaine from the furthest. regards, Paul Watson Bluegrass South Africa Miszou wrote: I have read the entire internet. on how boring his day was.

I'm shamed to admit I have laid eyes on you. Shamed to have this sort of dirty laundry brought out before our international friends. We of the Higher Assegai Dung Brigade don't need any stimulants to improve our performance and distance. No wonder urine testing was brought into our beloved sport!

Guys? You do know you are talking about putting -cant even say it- in your mouth right? :omg: :wtf: I think i'm gonna be sick X| X| X| X| I've got a few SA friends i have to seriously speak to about this. **I Dream of Absolute Zero

Those who don't make the grade join illegal groups such as Die Boender Boere Bevolk League, mentioned by Paul above. That's the level of the pride in this sport. We live only to compete by spitting dung balls. If your friends were not chosen to mulch the dung of Africa's animals in their mouths they may not want to discuss it and pretend the league does not exist. Should this occur I suggest you shun them as friends forever due to their lack of honesty. However, if they are indeed participators in this most sacred sport you can rest assured you have found a true and loyal friend for life.

Every culture has it's oddities and this is ours. Some jump off towers with vines tied around their legs with the winner being the chap who gets closest to the ground without dying. Some wound bulls and then get them to chase them around narrow streets. Others bomb small countries. Some even drink warm beer! All we want is to practice our humble little sport in the confines of our country and to not be judged for it. regards, Paul Watson Bluegrass South Africa Miszou wrote: I have read the entire internet. on how boring his day was.

In India, for most Hindu religious functions, we keep dung balls representing a particular God of ours. In the ancient days, the floors used to be first coated with mud and then with dung paste and then allowed to dry. We consider dung as a good disinfectant. I am not sure if this spitting hobby or some version of it exists somewhere in our place. Cheers, Smitha You are never given a wish without also being given the power to make it true. You may have to work for it, however. -- Richard Bach

As with anything that involves serious amounts of money people try and cheat. The yearly championship runs up to a cool 500k for the champion dung spitter. It is a source of great pride amongst those who can. Mongoose dung is only viewed as illegal by the minor amateur leagues. They cannot handle it like the masters and so look for ways to cripple us rather than rise to our level. regards, Paul Watson Bluegrass South Africa Miszou wrote: I have read the entire internet. on how boring his day was.

As Meg mentions many homes floors are still layed with the ancient Zulu and Xhosa recipes. Cow blood is also mixed in though I suspect Indians will not do the same. A well done floor of this nature has an amazing lustre to it that can surpass hardwood. regards, Paul Watson Bluegrass South Africa Miszou wrote: I have read the entire internet. on how boring his day was.

Let me tell you my secret to success - you must use warthog[^] dung. You must roll it into a ball with your tongue - I find that pressing it against my upper lip with my top teeth also helps to give it a firmer consistency. If you ever make it to Mpumalanga I'll teach you the art if you like.
