LD sponging

["Ann Blankenship" <annb@foothill.net>]

I just want be darn sure that folks who participatge in LD sponging are still recognized as REAL Spongers.  None of this "trainee" stuff!  I mean just because some of us don't have the time or the desire to do the Big Spong-offs doesn't mean that we should be put down for our choice.  Some people might have physical problems or something or maybe they're just "old" (not me, of course).   And I don't like the way some people might treat the LD spongers, like we should pull over and let the big shots shoot first!   Don't even GO THERE!

 

And I don't think we should even START talking about money prizes!   That would totally denigrate the sport!  This is about love, dedication, purity of purpose, attention-getting, ego satisfaction, gloating and NOT filthy lucre!

 

I love the idea of trotting around casinos on stick horses flinging wet sponges on strings at rain puddles, pools of antifreeze from boiled-over Winnebagos, and abandoned highballs (that's the drinks, not physical attributes).  Reno is the kind of place where this would really catch on fast.
