Title: Ringing an anvil
Post by: Otter on March 09, 2011
How many of you out there have ever heard of ringing an anvil? Post a reply either way as this could result in some pretty good humor. Hint- It is not hitting the anvil with either a workpiece or a tool.

 ROFL 'shok' (susp)  Not a sport for the ones of us that have Chickenlittlelookinup syndrom.Dr Hawken prescribes two slurps on the jug too combat the effects of this terrible afflction.This sport also afflicks folks with isawaufoitis,just not as bad.

 There we go I've been thinkin. "Dangerous"  I shouldn't do that.  I just invented a new game, anvil catching. You launch the anvil with powder and who ever catches it gets the first swig off the jug. It should be in the olympics. flwa
