ESPN2 got the Celtic Games on. Â Guys in dress's, Â Throwin rocks and poles, Â they didn't get that from the Irish

I didn’t see it but if they are tossing something that looks like a telephone pole. That is the caber toss and it’s Scottish not Irish. What do you expect from a country that is smaller than Los Angles County and has over 100 distilleries?
Easy on the Scotish there.I actually went to that stuff when I was a kid with all our Scotish relatives and it is really kinda cool and now that I'm kinda grown up I have been on my own and those cabers are close to 40' long and a few hundred pounds and thet do that shit in a KILT not a dress.I would like to se a bunch of my beer swillin buddies try throwin half that around.Those guys who do that are bad men...
My mother never saw the irony in calling me a son-of-a-bitch.

Watched that on the Amazing Race show once---looked kinda fun and not all that easy...I'd give it a toss after a few
