Redneck tennis:
It's like regular tennis, only played with shovels for rackets.
The 'balls' are people like Airforceone.
We're still working it out, but, so far it's pretty fun!
Now that is funny! I actually went in search of "redneck tennis" and found a youtube where a young lady was using an electric fly swatter....

Details please! I need some stress relief.....how does one play?
First you need to find someone to play with...
It is a very inclusive sport, so any number of individuals can take part at any given time...
Next you will need a shovel (Common sense cloaked in sarcasm is my racket of preference)
Then you need to locate a troll to act as a ball (also known as a Little Mikey)... Balls can come from either side of the aisle... But Arch and I have found that raving anti-Trumpers are the bounciest...
Finally, a referee (also known as a cow fart) should be watching to keep track of the points...
The game begins with a serve... This should reveal the trollishness of the troll... It should also provoke an immediate response from the troll...This is the first bounce...The opening serve is worth five points..
After the ball bounces it is another players turn to take a swing... Multiple players may swing off the same bounce... Points are given if the troll responds to a swing...
Alternatively a player may simply respond with 'clang!'... This indicates that a ball has bern lobbed and is open for all players to swing at consecutively... Points are only awarded to the first player the troll responds too...
A foul may occur when a player goes off topic... This should result in another player bringing the ball back into play... The First foul is fine..But second or third fouls result in point deductions...
The game may be paused if the troll goes offline.. But can resume with a new service when the troll returns...
Cow farts are the ultimate authority when assigning points... But, unless in tournament mode, most players just keep it friendly and don't keep score... Kind of an everyone is a winner game...

It was invented by our Canadian friend. Seems he has a thing with shovels......
I'm a hammer guy myself, but shovels work better in this game.
You get more velocity on your return with a shovel! Plus, in a heated match, you can change the length of your shovel handle to accommodate your stroke!

Hammers seem so primitive...
Like walls...
Both are pretty effective though

We're talking trolls...
From either side of the aisle...
Although I understand that it's easier to get spin off of Liberal balls

You mean to tell me you have managed to locate some? Where on Earth did you find any; spinning or stationary?

The mistake you're making is only checking the 'men'...

I have been thinking (I know, we need to celebrate this unique occasion) that we have some real serious stuff going on in the world and here on OPP. We need a break! We have several sections on OPP.... from Political throw down arguments to what we can cook for dinner.... how about a new section.... for humor? I know that I look for, have buddy marked, and take much delight in the humor that folks provide to us (intentionally), so how about a space for jokes, signs, reflections (that make us go hum?)?
I am just tossing this out to see if anyone would find humor a nice break for threats, insults, and predictions that the world is ending.
Yes or no?

Sounds good to me but I thought that the chit chat section was for that type of thing but I guess that I was wrong on that. Yeah badbobby would love that and there are a few others that would use that section almost exclusively.

Of course you are right... it was a silly idea.
