ARLINGTON, VA. Nov.13,2005-
Cat tossers from all across the Commonwealth gathered at the Tuckrucker Road YWCA Saturday for the annual meeting of the Virginia Feline Flingers Association. In addition to the traditional "cat-a-pult" and "cat-a-ma-ram," demonstrations, this year's festivities included a slam-dunk contest and cat archery clinic. George Ringwort took the home the prize in the men's cat-a-pult catagory with a direct dumpster hit at an impressive 200 feet. In the women's freestyle event, Marla Mankowietz eeked out a victory over two-time champ Ernestine Blanke by launching "Snowball" a record six times into an open clothes dryer at better than 30 feet. "I practiced hard for this event," Ms. Mankowietz said, "but in the end it all comes down to aerodynamics."

Probably another one of his fantasies Cass, along with scantily-clad women fighting over him and the Red Sox winning. I'm afraid to ask which one tops his list:)

Now Hummer, back to that bat....
