At any rate, we found ourselves a spot and settled down. I'm not even gonna try to explain Flugtag, go to the website. First up was the Tennessee Titans entry.
They quickly went into the Cumberland river. The crowd went nuts!
Cigars, rockets, planes and even a Rubik's cube went off the edge. My personal favorite was a pink car ridden by an Elvis impersonator.
The big news concerned a team called "Rocky Top Rocket" that set a North American Flugtag record, flying 155 feet to shatter the old record of 81 feet. Their entry consisted of a giant banjo with a wing on top. As it went over the edge, the wing separated from the banjo and glided well beyond the former record.
After all of the excitement, we went home and took a nap before the softball game. Check out The Girlfriend's blog if you are interested in how the rest of our day went.
Bat shit crazy is one step beyond just plain crazy. It is usually a temporary thing...sparked by something unexpected, or just really awful. ex: As soon as he saw me humping his mom, he went bat shit crazy.
The flying ELVI (plural I'm told) was the best!!! They even went off the side of the barge playing "A Little Less Conversation"!!!
ReplyDeleteI loved the flying ELVI! Easily the best of the day. Second to that was people watching. What a crowd!

ReplyDeleteDos tacos por favor? Ummmm....yeah, I really read Spanish very well, but I'm guessing that rodrigo just left spam anyway.
ReplyDeleteI have been to Flug Tag!!! In Miami about 2-3 years ago. It was a drunk fest. I was drinking "juice" from containers belonging to people I didn't know. The actual "flying" was so funny I swear I peed a little from laughter!!! It is a good time. I recommend it to anyone who can go.
ReplyDeleteSounds like tons of fun! You two are such a cute couple! I love it that you are always out and about! Continue to have fun! I haven't had chicken on a stick either!
