LSU Quiddich.....?

OLS · 04-17-2012, 10:50 AM

OK, so I am not informed on what the cool kids are doing these days, BUT I got an email from college district
asking me to rate a new shirt that I am assuming will be sold later if people like it enough....LSU QUIDDICH.
I of course laughed, they make all kinds of weird shirts for weird fans. But my sister said I WANT ONE,
and I thought, wait, what?? So since guugle is your friend, I came up with this disturbing collection of links.

I PLAY QUIDDICH!!..............................Of COURSE you do.

I PLAY QUIDDICH!! Hey baby, ME TOO! Is that broom between your legs or are you just naturally hot, my little indian bravelet?

I remember seeing signs for Quiddich at San Jose State University. I also found a video for the Quiddich World Cup.

Wow, I thought it was some sort of humor shirt, but then saw the video.

Really? This is something that is done on an organized level? SMH.

Yea, we have a club here at NC State. We're supposedly good at it. I think the gem of the whole game, as it was explained to me, is they get a guy to dress up in all gold skin tight clothes to play the 'snitch,' which if any of y'all read the books, you have to catch in order to end the game.

Blak Smyth · 04-17-2012, 11:23 AM

I think the brooms are dumb. My opinion and observation.
The only purpose on the broom is to fly on right?

I guess if it makes you happy, do it... I guess.

mbraud4 · 04-17-2012, 11:25 AM

I can verify I see these tools running around campus on brooms @ LSU...SMH

Jefft72 · 04-17-2012, 11:36 AM

LOL. May I be so bold as to rate it this way:
LARP < Quiddich < Disc Golf ?

To be fair I have never participated in any of the above activities and will claim ignorance of all.

I have actually played disc golf and it is fun and challenging without any unessecary equipment such as a broom

There are a few really nice courses in the woods here in PA. But I always get into poison so I stopped playing.
Only run into a few hippies

Looks as if this game was invented at a school for "special" kids.

Harry Potter was always stupid to me, though. So I'm super biased.

But, come on...it doesn't get much more stupid

Jefft72 · 04-17-2012, 12:06 PM

Perhaps my use of disc golf was a bit half-cocked, but it was the first thing that came to mind when I needed a third for my comment.

I had plenty of chances while I lived in Austin, but never took the opportunity.

I think it was a good reference, but it is fun. I had to research what LARP was though

I used to think disc golf was for hippes until I gave it a go with some friends and then my competitive side took over.
As for this quiddich thing though, I would have been able to at least think about it as a game if there wasn't any brooms. Or if you had to sweep something during the game. The ump in a baseball game has a little broom in his pocket for dusting the plate, he should have to hold a broom between his legs.

Where would he place his head then?

I'm an out and proud gamer, and for me larping is the best way to get my exercise and my geek on at the same time. Whacking people with boffer swords is fun. I used to fight in the SCA (Society for Creative Anachronism) and may pick that up again at some point.

Quiddich, though....naah. Not for me. Though chasing a hot guy in gold tights does sound amusing. What do I get to do with him if I catch him?

Jefft72 · 04-17-2012, 01:10 PM

I love the mix of folks present on this forum!

Hey to each their own, I just have an issue with the broom

They could wear a mitten with a belt loop, wear a limited edition quiddich belt that includes a spells pouch included and other nesscesary accesories.

Are you suggesting coconuts migrate?

What if two swallows grab it by the husk?
