'Whoopee cushion' stops play at Masters (and what is 'sport'?)

How about DJing? That definitely takes real and challenging physical skills and dexterity, and there's often logos plastered around. And it can be competitive too.

If DJing counts I think there's a solid case for extreme ironing.

An art.

I guess another of these category grey areas is arts and crafts
 
Isn't there some famous aristo quote to the effect, "The only sports are hunting, shooting and fishing; the rest are merely games and pastimes."
 
You can play any sport with a ciggy and a beer if you really want. Youd lose though - as you would in modern snooker

footballers smoked fags at half time back in the day - probably had a brandy before the start too
I can recall footballers smoking in the dugout. Indeed, I can recall my GP smoking during the consultation.
 
And snooker's worth it for the commentary alone - can't think of commentators for any other game who give such in-depth and perceptive narratives.

There's also John Virgo.

Whoever had the whoopee cushion should get a lifetime ban from both the Masters and ranking events. I suspect they weren't a fan and just wanted to win a bet or something, because it happened fairly early on in the session.

I was sat near the new "Centurion's Club" at Ally Pally on Tuesday, and despite the thick glass they were making too much noise whilst the players were at the table. I saw a member of staff telling them to shush up. It appeared to be another of Barry Hearn's money-making initiatives, like his rip-off ear-pieces and proposing taking the game to Saudi Arabia.
 
I went in to some high street ‘sportswear’ shop a few years back to get my dad some running shorts for his birthday. They didn’t have any, seemed to have not much other than trainers and jumpers with words on. Maybe there is some sport involving sloganed jumpers nowadays?

The sport of computer games requires branded polyester sportswear.
 
Personally, I don't watch snooker on the telly and certainly wouldn't pay to go and watch it.

If this had been a game with mates down the local, then yes it would have been funny.

To disrupt a match that people have paid decent money to go and watch, and that's being played for serious prize money, just for the lols*, seems a bit of a cunt's trick...

* while accepting there can be circumstances where there's some justification for disrupting sports events - e.g. against apartheid south africa, or in extreme circumstances where 🐷🐷🐷 can play their part in protests against a football club owner who's seriously buggering a club up
 
Tbf the audience were all laughing.

Perhaps this sort of thing should be encouraged despite the players and officials being all po-faced and miserable.
 
For fucks sake close this thread. Its made me agree with marty about something and now I feel all dirty.

I think synchronised farting would be the greatest sport of them all.
 
Golf is for cunts.

Snooker is good and definitely a sport.

Thus ends today's erudition.
I used to like playing golf. Not in the oft times stupid attire some wear, and never to watch. I can't play now due to a back and shoulder injury restricting my swing.

Snooker is a game by all sensible definitions. A very good game, and one I've enjoyed playing. But it is a game. And why do professionals often wear such odd clothing?
 
You'll be telling us next you can recall Raleigh bringing tobacco back from the Americas...

...and we'll believe you
I remember my GP smoking in the surgery. He also advised my mother to smoke because it would be good for her. In my lifetime it was very common.
 
There's a good review of them:

Since buying these epic gamer socks I got my first kill on call of duty after six years of trying, in this time my husband Price died of tuberculosis but I went to his grave to resurrect him with these epic socks, thank you puma for my bringing my husband back to life. Sincerely Woods
ProsQuality, brought back my baby price
ConsExpensive, had tracing of 115 and price tried to eat my leg, would buy again
