Dear Myanmar…

Thanks for making hacky sack look stupid:

This is a sport called chinlone. It’s sort of a cross between sport and dance and people that are good at it are amazing to watch. I imagine if you’re a fan of this and go to events, you probably don’t want to sit too close to the action unless a really good team is playing, or you are so taking a foot to the teeth.

    Quick correction: I’m pretty sure it’s people who play hacky sack that make hacky sack look stupid. Amirite?

    Back in his prime, they used to refer to Rich as “The Chinloner.”

    Considering the size & coloring of the ball, it’s clearly much closer to football juggling than hacking.
