I live like 20 minutes from Nigel and would gladly meet up with him to authenticate his claim.
All of them? How many are there?I can list all the prepositions in the english language in alphabetical order in less than 10 seconds.
I've earned so many free drinks and beers over the years with this one that I've lost count.

Yes. 124, i think.All of them? How many are there?I can list all the prepositions in the english language in alphabetical order in less than 10 seconds.

I'm pretty sure it is not possible to throw a Ritz cracker 100 yards.
I would be impressed if someone could make it sixty yards.
I say this after an evening of experimentation flinging Ritz carckers down the street last night - which was puzzling and entertaining to many of the neighbors who came out to watch and wonder.
I've been playing Ultimate Frisbee and Disc Golf for more that twenty years. I can throw a golf disc about 330 feet. I can throw a regular playing card more than fifty feet. I own a couple boomerangs and can throw them proficiently. So I felt confident that I could master the technique of cracker flinging to approach the 100 yard mark if indeed it was possible.
With a slight wind at my back I began with a brand new box of crackers and three step run-up and launched them side-arm, skipping a rock style throw - they flew about thirty yards and dive bombed into the ground.
I experimented with this technique with salted side up and salted side down, with the same results.
I then moved to a boomerang throw - overhand technique. This kept the crackers aloft a little longer with a maximum distance of about forty-five yards.
I tried the ninja throwing star type of flinging technique - which stabilized the flight quite a bit, but lost a lot of velocity. Maximum distances of about thirty five yards were reached.
At the end, I had gone through two sleeves of crackers, my arms were dead, and the neighborhood dogs were having a field day with the cracker-littered street.
I would love to see you do this - and if you have a trick or different technique, then let me know - I still have two more sleeves of crackers waiting...
I'm suprised ignor. actually found a picture of her with clothes on.Perhaps I am the only one who did not know Ms. Cole, but a google image search on her is definitely NSFTha same.And the one in your profile?Kyla Cole. Very grrr.Who is that in you avatar....smokin'!
So you could see 60 yards maybe and have tried it? And this dude says he go go almost THREE times that far. Haha...classic.Great story tho...Your neighbors must think youa re beyond whacked.I'm pretty sure it is not possible to throw a Ritz cracker 100 yards.

Hmm... what if you shingled a roof with Ritz's!I'm pretty sure this is a sucker's bet, but that said, I can think of a couple of things that flat out fly with little force.
One is the small, plastic doo-dad that comes on a loaf of bread to keep it sealed. If you take that off, remove one side of the v-neck pastner, then wedge your index finger in the void the removal creates, you can launch these things far and fast with just a flick of your finger. It's amazing at the zip and distance you can get with a flick.
The second thing I recall is roof shingles. I used to sit up on my parent's garage as a kid and tear off parts of the shingles (composit roof). Then I would overhand fling them and watch them just fly 3 or 4 houses away.
I wondered if the Ritz has some type of property that would allow it to fly that far. In the end, I think we're being put on.
Esplain. :graduate: me.I can fill a shotglass with dimes, take a full shot of water/vodka/whiskey/whatever and still fit it in the shotglass full of dimes. This is a big moneymaker.
Lucky guy.I have seen this done as well.My wife can put a cherry stem in her mouth and tie it in a knot using only her tongue.
Catch the right gust of wind and 150yds might be the shortest distance you throw. lolI probably won't be able to try this until next week....to much rain and wind in the Tampa area..... :(
"Is it five holes, or six? In all the excitement I kind of lost count myself. So the question I've got to ask is, do you feel lucky? Well? Do ya...punk?":cracker-barrel:You are forgetting that the five or six holes in the Ritz is what may be giving it its stability and lift in flight.I really don't think that the Ritz has the mass required to make it 150 yards. It will be blown about too much in even the slightest breeze, regardless of spin.
The angular momentum of the cracker won't prevent it from turning over.
The ### #### Germans got nothin' to do with itHow is this germane to the conversation?Which Jackson are you? Tito? Randy? OtherMy 44-year-old brother can still fit his entire body through a triangular billiard rack.
true.I will now bet my neighbors that I can make any other football fan neighbor wander into the street and throw crackers....
try a sleeve of Hi-Hos and report backI finally tried this......I flung one whole sleeve and the best I could do was about 90 - 100 feet. NO FRIGGIN WAY YOU CAN DO 150 YARDS!!!!
thats impressive.Ritz, Hi-Ho - it don't matter. Throw them sidearm with the same grip as you would if you were skipping a flat stone on a pond and it will soar. I used to win money at tailgate parties all the time by flinging those babies onto the roofs of dormitories, over parking garages, etc. It's not really a unique skill, but most people have no idea how far they fly.
I can drink also a pint of Guinness in 3 seconds , 2 (two separate glasses, one after the other) in 10.
What are your "I'll bet you $10 I can do -------" money-makers?
He eventually confessed in another thread. It's probably been purged.Geez.
You guys let this thread end a year ago with several failed independent tests, no conclusive proof of claim, nor a hoax confession, from Nigel?

update?While we are at it, I wager that I can flip a 620 pound tractor tire end over end 30 yards in 60 seconds or less. I will have proof of this feat when I compete in the next Nebraska Amateur Strongman contest on August 13th. Results will be posted on their website usually in early September.
Takers?
