Generally, I am not a fan of post-play celebration by players unless the play results in a score or transition.  Army intercepted a pass and it appeared that a couple of the cadets attempted the “Saquon Windmill” as they ran off the field.  It was more of a team celebration than an individual calling attention to themselves.  Does anyone know the origin of the Windmill?

The origin of the windmill is Persia.

@been-there-ii

My apologies BT but tae left me with a wide open shot and I HAD to take it. Nobody wants to be "that dick" but I just couldnt refrain.

Getting some much needed rain over here today. Stuck inside while the Mrs is making salsa. I gotta find something to do in the shed this morning to get me out of this house!!

lol I hear ya T. If I were Tae, I'd nominate you for Dick of the week.

No rain here, just warm and cloudy, at least there's no sun beating down. The farmer that rents my fields is raking hay, looking like he's putting 3 or 4 windrows together to get it thick enough for the baler to pick it up. Finished up bush hogging for the year. Love to run shit over, shoulda been a tanker. Unfortunately, this time of year the damn yellow jackets are at full strength. "Found" 3 nests, got stung 6 times. Poor dogs got the worst of the last bunch. As usual they ran to me in an attempt to get under the tractor to hide, brought the bees with them. If I live long enough to wear this tractor out, the next one will have a cab.

Before seeing your response, I thought the Dutch invented the windmill and not the Persians. I had to double-check the facts and Wikipedia does state windmills first originated in greater Persia.

With regard to the "Saquon Windmill", I failed to guard an avenue of approach and you correctly identified the tactical error.

BT:You and I arent bright enough to to buy a cab. Im exposed to the elements on mine too. I had a dog that would kill skunks every chance he got. One time he came upon a momma and her babies. Killed a baby and brought it back to me for show and tell. The only problem with that was Momma was right behind him an we both got sprayed. Friggin idiot. Good bird dog though. In all the years I had him he only had one missed point. We were hunting grouse some years ago and came upon another hunter and that dog locked up dead straight right on him. I aporoached the guy and said "looks like ya got a few grouse" he said "nope". "Welll then ya musta shot a pheasant" I said. "Nope" he said again. I apologized for my dog ruining his hunt and told him he was welcome to hunt my property anytime he wanted. I mentioned that this was the first time my dog ever missed a point. I wished him luck and said, " by the way, what's your name"? He replied "Bob White".

TB: I was just taking an educated guess on Persia. Again, I apologize for being the Phallus of the week, but man; you lobbed that one right into me. Thanks for being a good sport.

My grandson (ThePakid) says it has something to do with Spongebob Square Pants but I dont remember exactly what the connection is. At my advanced age, stuff slips from my mind easily.

@tsuga I too have a dog that thinks chomping on skunks is a great thing. When the crazy bitch(not my ex) gets sprayed, well, that just gives her more incentive to keep right on chomping. On the plus side, she doesn't bring them home.

Still shaking my head over Bob White. Stepped right into that one with both feet.

But hey, ya know why stoners don't get into fights?

...they take the high road.

Tae: Look at it as a learning experience, but you'd think your fellow man wouldn't take advantage of your innocence. And I'd love to hear hte Sponge Bob connection.
