Do You Like to Throw Things? Do You Ever Make Opportunities for Throwing?  email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 93/100. Transdisc (18434) 5 years ago

If so, what do you like to throw? Why?

I used to like to throw glass bottles and smash them when I was a child. I also liked to throw stones at bottles and the like. Sometimes I would throw things at an old car.

This week I was throwing pieces of concrete block into the bucket of my front end loader, and it became a sort of a game to see how far away I could stand and still make it. Do you ever do invent ways to enjoy youself while throwing things? Please give examples.

I enjoy throwing a baseball much more than throwing a football.

Of course, my all time favorite throwing past time is skipping stones on a body of water. I really enjoy doing this, and competing with friends on who can get the most skips out of a stone. Do you ever do this?

I love, and still love, to throw glass things for some reason. I guess I just love the sound. In games I ALWAYS shoot the glass.


myLot reputation of 93/100. Transdisc (18434)  5 years ago

Hello Fratey, and welcome to myLot.

I guess I like the sound of breaking glass, too. I really don't understand why I like to throw things at glass, but I do.

Why thank you! D:
I looked among the other replies, and I have to agree with Angelwhispers that bowling balls are amusingly satisfying.
Especially if you get a STRIKE.

Hi Transdisc,

I haven't really done much throwing of anything, since I was a kid. Back then, I used to love to play ball up against our house. My sister and I would play these games, complete with rhymes, and they'd involve clapping, throwing the ball under one leg, etc. I've never really tried skipping stones, at least not seriously, and I don't think I'd be very good at it. One thing I do throw these days, on a regular basis, is, I toss my facecloths from the shower into the bathroom sink, when I'm done with them.


myLot reputation of 93/100. Transdisc (18434)  5 years ago

It sounds like you and your sister had a lot of fun growing up, someonesmom. I can remember with great fondness playing similar games with my brothers, as well as throwing a baseball with them literally for hours at a time.

I bet that you would like skipping stones, and that you would be good at it. You should seek out an opportunity to give it a try real soon!


myLot reputation of 99/100. someonesmom (2277)   ranked 169 out of 26,920 in people  5 years ago

We did have a lot of fun when we were growing up. Thanks for the vote of confidence in my ability to skip stones. Maybe I should try it, as it least it would give me an opportunity to be near water, which I find very peaceful, and a great stress reliever. Another thing I throw these days, once in awhile, is 'a hissy fit.' Does that count?;)


myLot reputation of 93/100. Transdisc (18434)  5 years ago

A hissy fit most definately counts!

I like the stone skipping because it is relaxing. I like being on the water like that.

I hope that your angry Donald Duck is sometimes included in that hissy fit!


myLot reputation of 99/100. someonesmom (2277)   ranked 169 out of 26,920 in people  5 years ago

You remember hearing about my angry Donald Duck? I don't normally incorporate him into my 'hissy fits,' as he's just for fun, and he doesn't manifest himself very often. Maybe I should try using 'him' to difuse myself quicker. I also do a bashful 'Goofy' impersonation.:)


myLot reputation of 93/100. Transdisc (18434)  5 years ago

How could I forget Donald? That's one of my most treasured myLot moments!


myLot reputation of 99/100. someonesmom (2277)   ranked 169 out of 26,920 in people  5 years ago

Awwwwwwwwww, thanks!:)

myLot reputation of 99/100. someonesmom (2277)   ranked 169 out of 26,920 in people  5 years ago

I almost forgot that he's your feller, Angelwhispers. He's so much fun, and always manages to 'quack me up.' Lame joke intended.:)


myLot reputation of 89/100. Angelwhispers (4603)   ranked 4,410 out of 26,920 in people  5 years ago

That would be Donald, always Quacking women up.... I swear I don't know what I see in that Duck! :))

oh that was great fun as a child... our neighborhood had a raquette ball court and it was rarely used - my brother and I loved to go down there and play handball against that large green outdoors wall - we would use our tennis balls to do this.

myLot reputation of 93/100. Transdisc (18434)  5 years ago

The water gun game is a fun game, ibuemma. I don't much care for games at carnivals, as I know their goal is for me to not win.

I liked to throw a ball when I was a kid. I was a tomboy, and whenever I am in the grocery store shopping, and my husband is ahead of me blocking the grocery cart and I am carrying the cloth bags, I throw them over his head so that they land perfectly on the counter before the sales clerk. It is my part about protecting th environment and practicing my aim.


myLot reputation of 93/100. Transdisc (18434)  5 years ago

It's good to see that you care for the environment like you do, suspenseful.

Oh yess indeedy I love to throw certain things. My favorite is the bowling ball. There is something so satisfying in throwing a big ball and watching it plow down the pins. Trans, I would think our fascination with "throwing" objects comes from our curiosity with flying objects. We love watching something fly threw space and reveal in the success at how far we can make that object fly.

When I was younger I had a bad habit of picking up anything nearest me and throwing it, literately aiming it (more then once at my husbands head} and with great satisfaction then I enjoyed the destruction of the object or watching my poor hubby in flight as he moved from the path. LMAO Then think about all of the things that we "throw" in other ways: throw a punch, throw a party, throw a fit, throw an election ...

Interesting discussion Trans :)))))


myLot reputation of 93/100. Transdisc (18434)  5 years ago

I hadn't considered throwing a bowling ball, Angel, and I'm impressed that you actually throw it at pins. I have heard of some people throwing gas cans!!

I like your idea about our fascination with throwing being associated with flying.

Good to see you!!!! :)


myLot reputation of 89/100. Angelwhispers (4603)   ranked 4,410 out of 26,920 in people  5 years ago

rotflmao okay so maybe there are something we do not grow out of after all :)))

Thanks Sugar, now that school is back in session and the yard work at home coming near the end for the season I expect to be around a lot more. I certainly have missed all of this the last couple of months.


myLot reputation of 93/100. Transdisc (18434)  5 years ago

Sure I like to throw things, but I try not to make a habit of it, as I have a daughter who does a good enough job of that on her own.

I still haven't had the money to fix the window she broke by throwing my mug which was technically at the cat but the cat had the mind to move so it bounced off the couch and hit the window.

Right now I'm trying to stop things from being thrown, unless its a toy outside. Mooch


myLot reputation of 93/100. Transdisc (18434)  5 years ago

I'm sorry to hear about your throw related troubles, oneandonemakesix.

i love skimming stones!! i recently taught my daughter the art of stone skimming!I also like throwing molotov cocktails into ex girlfriends current boyfriends cars.
no harm done. (so far)


skimming as opposed to rimming

myLot reputation of 93/100. Transdisc (18434)  5 years ago

I enjoy skimming as opposed to rimming as well, alfie. As for your molotov cocktail outings, those sound like a lot of fun! You always are on the cutting edge of things, even skimming stones.

Not as often now, but we used to have horse poo fights and see which one could throw it the furtherest or hardest at each other...I have seen a stoned duck though, im sure that would be a sight...


myLot reputation of 93/100. Transdisc (18434)  5 years ago

We used to have cow patty fights, Calais! Ah, the memories. I had forgotten about those days.
