Pokémon Championship Team Hurls Crap At Each Other

[madmatt]

I go to University in Birmingham. I fear I am developing the accent

Where on earth did they procure enough feces? Why? What if one of them had diarrhea?

and second-ugliest city in Europe.

Have to ask...What was the first?

Hull?

I'm going there for a Doctor Who convention in June.
Oh dear.

Well, now you know what to do when you're bored there. Just make sure to eat the right food for the proper consistency. It won't be easy to throw it if it's too liquid.

 

[Jodah]

I have a serious question. At what point does someone actually suggest or even think of throwing feces at another person outside of a mental institution?

 

[Andronicus]

Really? Nobody's brought this up yet?

I guess I'll just leave this here then...

 

[Terminate421]

Sorry, I can't process this story.

I need to wrap my head around national Pokemon teams first.

Oh they exist. Just like Magic the Gathering tournaments and MLG and such.

 

[Ninedeus]

I guess shit hit the fan.

No..? Uhh...

Shit just got serious.

Shit's getting real!

OT: Wow, who we could still act like our distant cousins. Sad thing is they went there as a representative of both Pokemon and Spain and acting like monkeys is not the best way to promote yourself. This would forever be a stain on the Pokemon Championship for a loooong time.

When I saw the thumbnail image of the Mankey with the headline I originally thought that the Championship team would be using crap pokemon against each other...

Although, that image is also appropriate for the actual story. We all know what monkeys like to do...

Spanish Team used Mud Bomb

Hotel Management used Roar

Spanish Team fled

And thank you for making me laugh LtFerret, you've earned yourself a internet AND a cookie for that post.

OT: God... I just can't wrap my head around this story. How in the name of the Golden Throne do you get this bored that you actually think that flinging your own waste at one another is a fun idea?

While you might be quick to criticize the Spanish team (or make an obligatory "Spanish inquisition" joke), remember this event took place in a hotel in Birmingham. In 2010, Birmingham was voted the most-boring, and second-ugliest city in Europe. Having visited the city myself during my adventurous youth, I can confirm that spending the evening hurling your own faeces at a friend is a more stimulating, and possibly more hygienic, alternative to visiting any of the city's bars.

"We were only having a casual poo fight, didn't expect the Spanish Inquisition!"

Birmingham isn't *that* bad, you haven't seen Coventry.

To be fair to Coventry, it did get completely flattened in WW2, it has an excuse Being mean about Coventry is like bullying a low kid, they can't help it

OT: When in Birmingham, do as the Brummies do.

EDIT: Wtf Spain, seriously?

 

[Fasckira]

Birmingham is a dreadful place, thats for sure. Im still at a loss though as to how much poo they must have had to produce in order to turn the event into a fight (as oppposed to say just one drunk dude flinging a one off brown bomber at his friend).

Crazy pokemon trainers. Nintendo should put them into the next game as one of the generic NPCs: Poo-Flinger wants to fight!

 

[Scarim Coral]

Maybe the Spanish team were just role playing as if they were a bunch of primape or Aipom (or which ever monkey like Pokemon that throw poo at each other).

So is there no official words from the Spanish team on why in the hell they were doing that in the first place?

Also is the team disqualified or no longer to attend the Championship that is if they got another place to stay prior to the Championship?

I was really hoping "Hurls Crap At Each Other" was a metaphor to verbal insults, but noooooo.

But you know, this isn't the first and won't be the last case of geeky hobby turned championship turning ugly. Here in Brazil, just last week, a big Yugioh tournament in São Paulo went from a family friendly afternoon to friday night fight when, out of the blue, one of the players in the finals yelled that his opponent was cheating (because he was -losing-, of course), stood up and promptly punched said opponent in the face. Things escalated to a mass brawl before you could say "What the fuck is wrong with you!?".

Look, I like Pokémon, I like Yugioh, and I like many other geeky games, but I think we all can agree that, while those are marvelous time-killers, they're also incredibly stupid reasons to get a yellow sheet for.

Edit: On a second read, I realised that the Spanish team wasn't throwing crap at other teams, but at each other, which really doesn't make my opinion of them any better. My previous point still stands, thought.

So you're in a room, playing pokemon, and you say

"hey guys, lets throw our poop at the other team! like, poop in our hands and throw it at them"

^ and NOBODY said "what are you fucking 2? thats disgusting" ?!?!?!?!?

NOBODY?! Everyone was on board with this idea? Nobody even game them a weird look or anything? They just decided, hey, lets throw our fucking excrement over a kids game.

What the hell humanity.


-5 points for Gryffindor.

 

[Glademaster_v1legacy]

The place should have charged them a ?50 fine for every piece on the floor or in the bidet.

 

[ZehMadScientist]

Is Birmingham such a boring place that our local News Bringhir is trying to justify throwing poo at each other? And who the hell comes up with a Poo throwing deathmatch anyway?

People continue to amaze me.
