There was a girl I liked back in the day and I asked her to come out and play with me. Two minutes into it she asked, "Is this fun for you?"

Ouch

That was also said to during the summer, at a youth group meeting. He also said he could beat me, and I laughed!!!!!!!

most people have pretty positive things to say around here, I've been pretty fortunate in Rochester and Fredonia. I've received a lot of respect and sincere questions lately.

Jeremy · Post by **Jeremy** » 19 Apr 2006 22:52

yeah me too. I think a very common question is: "How do you do that?"

I usually say it's on a string or that it's all done with smoke and mirrors

Lame but slightly humourous.

Comments and questions

While shredding:

Do that one again! You know, the one where it like goes here (along with hand signals)
You compete? (I laugh. I'm tiltless.)
I like Jeremy's sarcasm treatment, though.

While laying sod, my summer job:

Green side up!

"Wow your good!"
"Haha, you should see other people!"
"I don't know man"

If people tell you that you're good, just kindly say thanks and tell them you're the world champion.

Haha, I say glue and magnets. When I drop, I blame it on the fact that my glue wore off. It's definitely my favorite footbag joke right now (besides ass stall).

I've been busting ass stalls for people! Thanks for the inspiration...I'm always looking for new ways to make a spectacle of any shred circle I'm in.

From people around my campus who see me shredding all the time in the same place...."Do you ever stop?"

sniper4life · Post by **sniper4life** » 21 Apr 2006 12:11

The comment I have heard most often would probably when people see me do any dex tricks and they say "Wow you have to much time on your hands."

RawSko · Post by **RawSko** » 21 Apr 2006 12:54

A really wierd one I got was from this guy downtown. He's like "My son's got one of those things... bothers the F**K out of me!!!!!!"

...after the a dirty look that he gave, I changed shred spots.

@ Zeke
I had a similar thing happen when I asked a girl I liked to come shred with me when I was at school. she was really blunt with me... she's like "No. You look like a fool." just straight up. ...she's not cool at all

Other then these two comments though, I do get alot of possitive stuff. Everyone at school knows me as The Footbag Kid. (used to be the Hacky Sack kid, but I managed to straighten most of them out)

keep it real

"Do you really think you could do that, if you didnt have those cheater shoes?"
My friend Dave's response to this was, "Tell you what, I'll let you wear my lavers and if you can do ANY of these tricks you'll have proved that it's the shoes." The guy backed down of course.

Oh, and just today I got another frequently occurring one, from an old lady, "I didn't see the bag it first.. and it looked like you were just dancing."

GREAT Counter-Response. I have gotten that before twice but I never had any good come-back. It was probably the most annoying thing I've ever heard.
