Modern Gladiators

Tough lighting for the photo, but you get the idea.

You are all Gladiator(Bad-assed Russell Crowe movie taking place in ancient Rome) fans or you are women that are aware of its existence as a film. Therefore, I think you'll all appreciate the Coliseum in El Jem(Tunisia). It is this coliseum that the little magic movie people turned into the coliseum featured in Gladiator. Considering that it has existed for around 2000 years it is in remarkably good condition but still they had to do more than a bit of computer enhancement.

Jordan and I took it upon ourselves to throw the Frisbee(Discraft, 175g, Glow in the dark) in the middle of the arena. We imagined what it must have been like to have an unruly crowd of 30,000(that's right, the 4th largest Roman coliseum ever built) cheering me and booing Jordan. Pretty much we just annoyed some of the groundskeepers and scared a few Japanese tourists- but next time you watch the movie, just picture us out there taking on the world.


Its important to sweep away the carnage after any frisbee match- usually just keg cups and roaches.
