2004 FPA Worlds: Friday’s Rumor Mill

As a new member of the Shrednow community, it is my pleasure to report all the gossip and rumors from the FPA Worlds here in Rimini.

Who was the only player to do a toe delay in competition on Friday?

Who invented the jetlag gitis?

Who was the only pairs team that did not throw to each other?

Which team rejected a Led Zeppelin song and instead played to Guns N Roses?

Which player said “there is only one restaurant I won’t go to in all of Rimini,” and guess which restaurant his friends chose?

Ask Yendor: Keeping The Z’s For Yourself

Yendor,

I have a question for you. I have never seen you, but I have heard about you, so I am sure you exist. You may have an answer to my problem.

I was jamming today and came upon a quandry. The jam with Arthur Coddington and Pat Marron was going well. We were passing the disc frequently and setting up a nice flow within the rhythm of the jam. Then Pat threw me a throw with the most unbelievable zzz’s where upon I flipped out!! I lost all sense of connection to the jam and lost all self control. I thought “I must keep these ZZZ’s to myself!! No one else can have these zzz’s!”

A list of all of the moves I could possibly do went through my head all at once. I did a very long combo. When I ran out of the zzz’s I kept brushing and rolling, kicking and rolling. If it were not for running out of grass and field I would have kept going for a lot longer. When I turned around, Arthur was taking a nap and Pat was making a cell phone call.

How can I control my selfish craving to keep all of the zzz’s to myself.

Or am I a lost cause? Am I a bad person?

Your humble jammer,

Dave
