There is no comparison, so we agree on that.
Please don't call this a sport. It is a kids game played by grownups. Why did you think you had so much fun?

physical exertion? I just spit out my pop.  :)

Are you kidding, it’s a helluva lot of exertion.

Played for the first time last night since the end of an NCSY Shabbaton 25 years ago.

I think it’s in the silly steering mechanism, which is like churning butter.

Still fun, that’s for sure!
