I suffered racial abuse in Lithuania, and in two games the fans were making monkey noises and throwing coins at me.
One day guns were pulled on us by older guys. My friend had gone to sell his moped and they took the moped, my friend’s phone and some money. But all he got from my pocket was a tub of Vaseline. I remember him saying, ‘Oh, he’s a sweet boy’ and throwing my Vaseline on the floor.
I love finding ways to bridge the gap between my heritage and my new farming community. An ingredient such as za’atar might be foreign, but throwing it into something familiar – a hot dish or an eggbake – makes it more approachable.
There’s got to be a fine line where I can find I’m still throwing the ball how I usually throw it, but it’s able to dive down after a certain height and get to the guy.
Yes, you have people shouting racist abuse and throwing bananas on the field, and there are issues regarding the number of black coaches and managers in the game, but which other industry allows a young black boy the exact same opportunity as a young white boy?
We can agree that keeping serious criminals in prison is an effective means of preserving public safety, but we must also recognize that the axiom of ‘putting people in jail and throwing away the key’ does not apply to all offenders universally and can actually be counterproductive.
Since the advent of the Internet – more recently compounded by blogging – everyone can be a published voice. Any cowardly, anonymous anger-monger can have an audience of thousands. That doesn’t make them a journalist any more than my throwing an onion and a few carrots into a pot of boiling water makes me Julia Child.
The baseball fights, you don’t ever see the squaring off like you do in hockey, and in some instances, that’s where baseball fights can be potentially more dangerous because you’ve got guys running all over the place and people throwing punches at you that you don’t even see half the time.
At the very least, you must make the Internet free in areas that are poverty-stricken. Without the Internet and access to information, poverty-stricken households will never catch up to households above the poverty line – throwing the African-American community deeper into the stone ages.
I’ve always considered myself a physical person. I don’t call myself a farm girl, but I did spend a lot of years shoveling manure and throwing hay, because I worked to pay most of my riding expenses.
I used to tell Jackie (Robinson) sometimes when they were throwing at him, ‘Jackie, they aren’t throwing at you because you are black. They are throwing at you because they don’t like you.
I’m an outdoor person. You’ll always see me outdoors – mountain biking, going to the park, going outside throwing the football. I love being on the water. I go canoeing, kayaking, anything really. I like extreme sports too. ATVs, dirt bikes. I am a country girl. Fishing, hunting, hog hunting.
The megapixel war in conventional cameras has been a total myth. It’s taking us all in the wrong direction. Once a picture goes online, you’re throwing away 95 to 98 percent of those pixels.
The first cellphone I owned was hardly a slim, high-tech device – it was more like a brick with buttons, only with worse reception. If you wanted to use your phone to give someone a message, you were better off throwing it at him and hoping you broke his car window.
A sword in hand is a sure sign of a violent mind; but one does not become non-violent merely by throwing the sword away.
I came back after my surgery, throwing four to six miles harder than I did before.
There are only so many pitches in this old arm, and I don’t believe in wasting them throwing to first base.
Developing expendable rockets is always going to be painful and expensive. Throwing the whole rocket away on each attempt not only costs a lot, it also hampers figuring out just what went wrong because you don’t get the rocket back for inspection.
Be mindful of what supermarkets are doing and demand to see their business practices. Stop throwing away food. Compost as much as you can, eat as locally and as seasonally as you can. Share knowledge and information.
I don’t push buttons to push buttons. Throwing the rebel card out there is really cheap.
I love throwing the deep ball. That is something I’m not scared of.
I’m very low-maintenance, and that is a problem. I’m not demanding at all, and sometimes I feel that I should be throwing tantrums. But since I don’t party or socialise, and am very low-key, I think that makes me very low-maintenance. Actually, I’m the most boring person at a party.
I live for the pressure, I live for the moments when I’m deep in the match, out of breath, hurt and feel like throwing up. It’s in those moments that I push through, I keep punching, I keep going forward, because no matter what, I will never stop.
I’ve always been really active. I grew up playing sports, so I’m always shooting hoops or throwing the football with my friends. I’m super-active in that sense.
I’m a very active person. I’m a big tomboy, throwing around a football, hiking… all that stuff I love.
If we went around just throwing people on the scrap heap because of one or two things that they might have done in their youth, I think we would lose a lot of talent.
I bet on the game of baseball and I bet on my team, even the mistakes I made, I have to take a different look at someone betting against their own team… that’s throwing the game.
Making ribs in Texas isn’t that unusual a choice for ‘Top Chef’. We played the stereotypes everywhere we go. It’s not only in Texas. We do it in New York; we did it in San Francisco. Listen if we shoot it in Seattle you know we’re going to be throwing salmon somewhere.
I am not one who – who flamboyantly believes in throwing a lot of words around.
So it’s mix and match. Hold your line when you really feel something you’re saying is wonderful and you really want to get this point across and prove it to your partner by just throwing it into the tape and letting it speak for itself.
All my life the only thing I’ve been good at has been climbing and throwing myself off big things.
Everybody thinks when I say a guy is a good game manager, that’s a negative, but I think it’s a real positive. You have the ball in your hand every time when you’re a quarterback. Whether you’re handing it off or throwing to somebody, I think that’s extremely important.
It’s about having that nice balance. I think that’s the answer to today’s modern girl who is on the run. She’s throwing on something before she goes out, but I still believe in the glitz and the glamour of everything and making that come to life.
I enjoyed throwing the toys out of the pram, although not in a petulant way.
I’m not big on throwing out the phrase ‘right reasons’ in Bachelor world. I feel like it’s used too often just because someone is going about a situation in a different way than you.
I think that Putin’s strategy has been throwing a lot of money, fairly haphazardly, at a lot of projects aimed at disrupting Western relations and undermining trust in democracies. They may have gotten farther in the States than anywhere else.
I always had a soccer ball with me. I could never stop. As young as I can remember, my dad was always throwing a soccer ball at me.
After I’d hit a home run and took my position in the field, the fans in the bleachers began throwing packages of tobacco at me. I stuffed them in my pocket.
Know what you’re trying to do before you do it. Turning knobs at random isn’t enlightening any more than throwing paint at a wall blindfolded will let you paint a nice picture.
My novels tend to come about from a fusion of two big ideas, creating a critical mass that then fissions, throwing off hundreds of other particles, riffs, tropes and characters.
You can’t drink too many otherwise you can’t see what you’re throwing at.
I think I realized very early on that you can spend a lot of time constructing a really perfect scene in final draft and just end up throwing it away because you didn’t figure out that mathematics of the story first.
The whole key to a fight is throwing the first punch.
Cricket came about for me when my dad started throwing plastic balls to me at home. I was four or five.
I love outdoor winter activities like snow tubing and snowball throwing.
This quarterback Weeden can drive the ball down field. He’s a thing of beauty on throwing a football. His passing motion and his arm, frankly, you won’t see a more gifted passer, power, accuracy, the entire aspect of it.
I was an athlete when I was younger and played a lot of sports, including golf, but I always ended up throwing around my clubs in frustration.
I remember turning ‘The Sopranos’ on once and within two minutes nearly throwing a brick through the screen.
In our early experiences with bitcoin, we found how few people were building bitcoin exchanges the right way. They really weren’t taking the regulation seriously; they were taking it too much like how you would approach something when you’re 18, full of the excitement of youth and throwing caution to the wind.
We throw at female artists this expectation that their work has to speak to the female experience. And if it doesn’t, you’re letting the side down. Throwing this stumbling block in the way of female artists is counterintuitive.
I have always been a guy who is aggressive in throwing the ball.
