Maybe a good idea for Dino Days? Just a thought. :shock:

Holy Cow ! :o Makes you just wanna scream OUCH ! I think that's why they yell "headache" when they drop trees. Kinda like "FORE" but flatter.

And thus passes the last of the caber catchers.

Gee, I thought Jerry, my stand-in, demonstrated the technique pretty well-- he would be crushed to hear otherwise. Caber mighta been a bit heavy for him, tho. ;)

There are some other videos of sport accidents (the one above was obviously fake-- at least based on what Japanese I caught from the announcer--haha) that are pretty funny too. (And some not so much. Lets just say a pole vaulter takes one for the team.)

See you March 1st, or at a Dino Day one of these days-- sans caber. --Frank
