   He’s the World Champeen! The trophy is a bronze-plated statuette of Wile E. Coyote.

   There’s a world championship of anvil shooting?

   I expected some sort of skeet shooting with anvils, but this is better.

   I believe you misspelled “The Climate of Awesome“.

   @Alsadius – that’s because he said “Fire in the ho!” instead of “Fire in the hole!”

   Any one who asks why is probably incapable of understanding. Or they could be a Manic Progressive.

    My initial reaction was like tim, “There’s a world championship of anvil shooting?” My next reaction was, “Wheeeeeeeee!”

    Time of flight ~6.5 seconds. I think this implies a maximum height of ~170 feet.

    Any high school physics students here who can check this out?

      Your memory of HS physics is sound, assuming no drag and such. Under the same assumption, that bad boy would be doing about 70 mph when it kissed the ground.

    Thanks for this, though I’m puzzled as to exactly what anvil shooting has to do with a “climate of hate”. Could it be that the gentleman’s first name is “Gay”? Or that the name of the sport includes the word “Shooting”? Or could it be because he is white and the anvils are black? Just wondering.
