Certainly if it were up to the English taxpayer-voter, Scotland would be fiscally autonomous faster than you can toss a caber.

Try Jean in Spanish « ¡Es lo suficientemente pequeño como para caber en tu bolsillo!

Your comparison of throwing and catching makes me think of the Caber Toss.

Did you not like the caber existing, or it later getting nerfed?

Yes, golf and caber tossing both come from Scotland.

Perhaps there should be a caber-toss style event for those 13U servers you get with the vertical line cards, and a two person event for yeeting those really big routers.

Cat and dog shows, caber toss, curling, singing competitions, on and on and on, the list is about infinite, since it encompasses everything within which someone could potentially be more skilled.

When I read about caber, I found out it was given to Parkinson patients and that one of it main side effects was that people were more inclined to gamble and have sex.

The world we live in is one where caber tossing, curling, boxing, cheese rolling, quidditch, and sepak takraw (to name just a few) are all sports.

Not quite as far back as Plato, but I was reading Seneca the other day who whines that physical education in Imperial Rome ain't what it used to be: Can we possibly look on this as a liberal accomplishment for the youth of Rome, whom our ancestors trained to stand up straight and throw a javelin, to toss the caber, and manage a horse, and handle weapons?

The irregular verbs aren't that bad; they're limited to THE highest frequency verbs that you'd expect, e.g., be, go, have, see, say, do, give, etc., and they're all irregular in fairly unsurprising ways, except for caber and andar.

"How many people know what a reverse caber tosser is?" is one that I'm curious about, but I suspect I'd get mostly just crickets.

There's a "Reverse Caber Tosser" (RCT) structure which has a stationary element that "tosses" a glider back and forth with a structure moving away (or towards?) it, emitting another glider in another direction after each toss, allowing for logarithmic glider/population growth.
