One of the more fun things that happened on the trip to Baton Rouge was me and my buddy Jock's regular sessions of shopping cart football. Shopping cart football is exactly what it sounds like and exactly as awesome. One dude gets in the cart with the ball, the other dude gives him a shove and yells "hike", first dude tosses the ball back over his head to the shover who rolls out and heaves it back to the first guy who by this time is about 20-30 yards down field and catches and spikes it. You get more points the further away you are when you complete a pass but we never actually get around to keeping score cause it is so damn hard to catch anything. Unless the throw is perfect it is damn near impossible to catch. You don't realize how terrible you are at throwing when your target can take a step to the right or left or speed up a little. When you are stuck in a cart any slight miscalculation results in an airball and loss of self esteem. Still, it is damn fun and we had a few bad ass connections including one that I nabbed one handed and nearly tumping over on 2 wheels.
