Geeks Unite!
« on: October 05, 2011, 12:25:11 PM »
Hello Fellow Geeks...

I am just one of the geeks that work at my server hosting company in Toronto - we are running a campaign called Totally Unfair Fights where our tech-geeks take on Pros in extreme physical stunts in support of charity. We feel like, although these are totally unfair fights, that perhaps... one day, our geek strength will trump brute strength.

anyways, our first competition is a tug of war against the Toronto Police at the Toronto Police Games.

here's our offical training video... www.atum.com/tuf

give us tips and advice @TUFCompetition on Twitter... we could use your support!

Does tug-of-war really qualify as an extreme physical stunt? Maybe if it was on a tightrope or something...

He who would garner our support, tips and advice must answer me these questions three, ere the things he wants he see:

What is your name?

(Already answered: TUFGeek)

What is your quest?

(Already answered: to promote his cause)

Ok, only one question left, TUFGeek:

What is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow?

I've been thinking about it for at least 45 seconds now and since it's for charity I'll donate some money if someone throws flaming darts at the contestants during the tug-of-war.

So are you ever comming back or were you just looking for a back link with no SEO value at all?

Also, I don't know much about these tug wars, but they sound pretty gay.
