metadigital Posted January 27, 2007 Posted January 27, 2007 Is the Super Adventure Club a sporting association (he asked not expecting the answer yes)? <_< OBSCVRVM PER OBSCVRIVS ET IGNOTVM PER IGNOTIVS OPVS ARTIFICEM PROBAT
alanschu Posted January 27, 2007 Posted January 27, 2007 No, I believe that that is the Adventure Club. The Super Adventure Club is much, much different.
LadyCrimson Posted January 27, 2007 Posted January 27, 2007 I've never played competitive sports, except the mandatory bits in school and such...just not into that sort of competition at all. Sometimes fun to watch, but otherwise... Biking, hiking/packing, & dancing were my things in teens/20's. Ballroom dancing in particular I really enjoyed it, and did a few local shows - nothing major, just for fun. My 30's tho...not a whole lot, honestly, besides sex and short walk/hikes in nearby parks and the exercycle...and lately, a lot of upper-torso strength/flexibilty exercises. Yoga is probably in my future. “Things are as they are.

metadigital Posted January 27, 2007 Posted January 27, 2007 Hmmm, back trouble and no sporting / exercise in your 30s ... do we see a connection? OBSCVRVM PER OBSCVRIVS ET IGNOTVM PER IGNOTIVS OPVS ARTIFICEM PROBAT
Deraldin Posted January 27, 2007 Posted January 27, 2007 Hmmm, back trouble and no sporting / exercise in your 30s ... do we see a connection? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> My back trouble comes from attempting to shovel snow that's 80% water. That stuff is really, really heavy.
metadigital Posted January 27, 2007 Posted January 27, 2007 Yeah, that's more a basic understanding of physics (moments of force about a hinge joint) ... so I'd blame your science teacher (or you, if you didn't pay attention). OBSCVRVM PER OBSCVRIVS ET IGNOTVM PER IGNOTIVS OPVS ARTIFICEM PROBAT
thepixiesrock Posted January 27, 2007 Posted January 27, 2007 I got a B+ on my physics mid-term. I was pretty, and happy.

thepixiesrock Posted January 27, 2007 Posted January 27, 2007 Yeah, but not because of my knowledge of physics. I don't relly do physical labor.

LadyCrimson Posted January 27, 2007 Posted January 27, 2007 Hmmm, back trouble and no sporting / exercise in your 30s ... do we see a connection? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Hey now, I didn't say "no exercise" - I said not much. But the back trouble actually started when I slipped in the bathtub several years ago - twice, on two seperate occasions close together - and butt-slid backwards into the tub faucet, hitting almost the exact same spot on my upper spine both times. It was freaky and painful but I thought nothing of it until a week later when I was flat on my back. heh Since then it's been downhill from there. But yes, I'm sure lack of torso muscles makes it much more likely for it to "go out" on me etc. - one of those idiotic cycles of "my back hurts/don't exercise" and "back doesn't hurt/exercise...oops the back went out again" things. Even when I was supposedly very fit, I've always been about aerobic/legs, not arms and torso. “Things are as they are.

metadigital Posted January 27, 2007 Posted January 27, 2007 Women typically don't have anywhere near the extension strength of men (triceps, torso); after all they are triangular shaped (and men are inverted triangles). OBSCVRVM PER OBSCVRIVS ET IGNOTVM PER IGNOTIVS OPVS ARTIFICEM PROBAT

alanschu Posted January 30, 2007 Posted January 30, 2007 My sarcasm was wasted It was a facetious comment since Poker Tournaments are shown on channels such as ESPN. If being shown on ESPN is all it takes to be a sport (according to that one chap), then Poker must be a sport! I do not feel that poker is a sport, and the logic used to denote that if something is shown on a sports channel, it must be a sport is false. Sportsdesk is a Sport!
