FECES WILL FLY AT GOAT PILL FLIPPING CONTEST

MILLINGTON, Tenn. (Wireless Flash) -- An animal turd tossing contest being held this Saturday (Sept. 11) in Millington, Tennessee, gives new meaning to the phrase "getting your goat." It's the city's annual "Goat Pill Flipping Contest," and folks from as far away as China will converge to see who can flick tiny pieces of goat dung the farthest. Organizer Jerry Moore says the world record -- a not-so- crappy 132 feet -- was set in 1992 by a man named Jonathan Thompson. Contestants have a variety of turd tossing techniques, but Moore says the preferred method is to flick the goat pill with your thumb like you're shooting a marble. The contest is so popular that some folks take souvenir pieces of the goat poop home for posterity.
