it doesnt really fit into any of the other forums so i thought i'd stick it in here.

could the submission be a brief animation, i'd like to show the good people of zefrank.com a little bit of Hurling.

Do you mean hurling in the "British" sense? Or hurling in the Americanized sense (ie. puking)?!!

What is hurling in the British sense???

nycwriters · 02-23-2004, 08:35 PM

a number of things, but all to do with sports.

nycwriters · 02-24-2004, 06:07 PM

Yep, that's what I meant by "British" (encompassing Ireland, Scotland and England) sport.

Now you didn't say; hurling as in throwing up or hurling as in the sport?

It's a bit of a touchy subject over there.

Eh, semantics.

While I understand the sensitivity on the subject, England, Scotland and Ireland, for better or worse, can be universally understood as "British" because of its histories. It's a common usage.
