Talk:Haggis hurling

message: I do believe that former Australian test and one-day cricketer and current coach of Sri Lanka, Tom Moody holds the world record for Haggis Throwing, at 230 ft. As I recall it was set at the 1989 Highland Games, which the touring Australian ashes team was visiting as spectators, and the 6 ft 7 Moody's entry was a spur of the moment decision.
I would take some of this information with a pinch of salt... -- Derek Ross |  Talk 02:48, Jun 26, 2005 (UTC)
:Ditto.  According to this article in The Herald, the sport was invented by Robin Dunseath as a practical joke in 1977. -- SwissCelt 03:47, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

message: Haggis hurling is a real event at highland games across Scotland.  Although it may have originally been conceived as a joke, the sport exists and is sort of a tongue-in-cheek game poking fun at the not-so-pleasant delicacy that is haggis.  I myself witnessed this event at the highland games near Oban a few years ago.

replies: text: Perhaps you could re-write the article to indicate that its origins were as a joke, rather than back in the distant history of Scotland. Joyous | Talk 02:31, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

text: You'll note that the template for hoaxes reads, in part, "It is believed that some or all of its content might constitute a hoax."  At the time I put that template on this page, that was indeed the case.  While the sport itself is not a hoax (being a real sport), its origins were.  However, because the article has been fixed to reflect this, I support the removal of the template. -- SwissCelt 04:50, 14 January 2006 (UTC)
