Speaking of unusal items to throw, in Port Lincoln, South Australia, there is a tuna toss contest, part of the tunarama festival:

They no longer use real fish, but weighted plastic replica's.

It almost mataches the ham throw!

I do love how the air of "officialness" takes the edge off "a sport only guys with beer will enjoy." :)

If you've ever been to a Scottish Highlander's games, you'll see they hurl everything from stones to telephone poles.

In Lithuania or Boratland or some such wilderness, they have a wife tossing contest. Saw it on ESPN at about three AM once.

Nope, they had to toss wifey up in the air (and catch her, of course). I believe it may have been filmed by the fine folks at Diamond P Sports, the same ones who brought us the swamp buggy races, with vehicle names like Shagnasty; another 3 am sport, along with late,late LATE boxing, wherein you see two White guys, fighting.
