Gotta slide in socks. You

- submitted by jebby on 03/05/2007

Gotta slide in socks. You can go much further.

I love this too. Climate controlled malls in the summer. Very perfect sliding location.


My favorite activity,

- submitted by Jerry on 03/05/2007

My favorite activity, outside of bicycling, is throwing some stray leaves and stuff on my neighbor's lawn and watching how fast he's out there raking or blowing it off.

We sometimes even bet on it. It's as if he's got cameras and lawn sensors.


What's shrub tipping. It

- submitted by terry on 03/05/2007

What's shrub tipping. It sounds intriguing.


shrub tipping must be like

- submitted by kenfromde on 03/05/2007

shrub tipping must be like cow tipping, where they tip over cows. cows then can't get up.

shrub tipping is less cruel. but don't exactly see the humor in it.


If you don't see humor in

- submitted by jackpa on 03/05/2007

If you don't see humor in shrub tipping then you obviously don't get it and have never played it.

It's awesome and sort of a secret thing. But think grand prixe meets baseball meets weeding.


I guess I'm old fashioned. I

- submitted by burbgirl on 03/05/2007

I guess I'm old fashioned. I like to bicycle and play tennis.

But tetherball sounds fun and I have nothing against mall sliding. I think my balance is so bad I'm break my skull if I tried.


my favorite: drinking beer

- submitted by beerforall on 03/05/2007

my favorite: drinking beer while mall sliding.

seriously, we're going to try the mall sliding next weekend.

other favorite: bbqing


We love ice skating and ice

- submitted by AidaMin on 03/05/2007

We love ice skating and ice surfing. We're up north near U of Minn. Cold. Our bushes are frozen so can't do too much tipping, but love the concept!


nothing better than sitting

- submitted by hottubber on 03/05/2007

nothing better than sitting in my hot tub on my deck, looking out at my big yard, drinking a beer...until my a-hole neighbor starts up his leaf blower.

a definite buzz kill

don't forget throwing

- submitted by theanonny on 03/05/2007

don't forget throwing snowballs at the good humor truck


Seriously, I love lawn

- submitted by CanneyII on 03/05/2007

Seriously, I love lawn croquet. I know it sounds silly, but it's fun. Anyone tried it?


Me too. I like croquet. I

- submitted by Springfever on 03/05/2007

Me too. I like croquet. I also like volley ball. We have an annual spring volley ball and hot tub party at our house. It's a lot of fun. Maybe not as fun as shrub tipping, but still I'll take it.


My favorite activity is

- submitted by studentoflife on 03/05/2007

My favorite activity is going to the mall and picking up women. I hang at the jewelry stores and never fail. I'm so good!


You're gross is what you

- submitted by Getreal on 03/05/2007

You're gross is what you are, student. Here's what you should do: grow up.


I am grown up. I'm divorced,

- submitted by studentoflife on 03/05/2007

I am grown up. I'm divorced, have multiple kids, a job I love and the time to spend wherever I want.

If I want to spend some time at the mall and I happen to enjoy meeting women, and that's wrong, then convict me.


You're convicted. Aren't you

- submitted by calgall on 03/05/2007

You're convicted. Aren't you late for the mall?

My favorite: Surfing and rollerblading.

We're right by the beach. it's awesome. Our deck overlooks the water (once you get past the rows of other houses, and the blocks of buildings). But we know it's there and it's great.

I used to live in Chi and SF. Now we're beach people outside San Diego. It's beautiful.


I propose we form a national

- submitted by sportsguy on 03/05/2007

I propose we form a national mall sliding league.

It hasn't been done. We should do it. ESPN2 here we come!


i tipped some shrubs last

- submitted by shrubtipper on 03/06/2007

i tipped some shrubs last night. it was a blast!


Have any of you guys ever

- submitted by jebby on 03/06/2007

Have any of you guys ever played lawn chair volley ball. It's awesome.

We play it at our block party. It's become a huge town tradition.


we've play lawn newcombe.

- submitted by sportsgirlcalif on 03/06/2007

we've play lawn newcombe. did you know there's a professional newcombe league. but not lawn newcombe. i say we add that to the list.


Yes, I'm from sunny southern

- submitted by Anonymous on 03/06/2007

Yes, I'm from sunny southern cal. I like the sound of lawn chair beach newcombe. Combines sunbathing and relaxing with the feint hint of a sport. I'm going to talk to my friends


we go to the mall and throw

- submitted by mallgamer on 03/06/2007

we go to the mall and throw pennies from one end of the mall to the other trying to get them in the fountain. it's like 100 yards or more and not easy.

we keep score and, at the end of the winter, the winner gets taken out for celebration.

we rarely hit mall shoppers, but it's a little risk and that's what makes it even more fun.


You guys are more creative

- submitted by springfever on 03/06/2007

You guys are more creative than me. I'm still a big fan of hottubbing. But I have no objection to throwing in some plastic lawn chairs and stringing a volley ball net above us.

Sounds fun. Our town recently banned hot tubs that could fit more than 6 people. something about them having to be regulated like swimiming pools.


Big shark tooth

- submitted by Chyna on 08/01/2009

How are you. There is still a difference between something and nothing, but it is purely geometrical and there is nothing behind the geometry. Help me! Need information about: Big shark tooth. I found only this - <a href="http://friedmann.objectis.net/Members/Teeth/shark-teeth-id">shark teeth id</a>. Evan showing off his shark teeth found in the shallow surf at the beach south jacksonville beach. The tooth sleuth exhibit has four sand trays with real buried shark teeth. Waiting for a reply :mad:, Chyna from Brazil.
