Micky Norris spat his way unto Manjimup Cherry Harmony  history with a 10.5metres projectile and the right to represent Australia in the Australasian Cherry Pip/Stone Spitting Championship in Palmerston North, New Zealand, in March next year.

Only trouble is, March is a non-cherry month and he will have to get his lips in front of an olive pip.

"Should be no trouble," said Micky, or would have said if this blogger had bother to ask him. "I'm very competitive and would spit anything to get to New Zealand.

"It's a very stable country and run by a woman. NZ and I have a lot in common because my life is also run by a woman, an exceptional lady called Aimie."

Micky will fly to the land of the long distance spitters courtesy of GlobeVista.

REMEMBER Clayton Ellis?

You should. Clayton is the current Australasian Cherry Pip and Olive Pip Spitting GlobeVista Champion.

You want to see a man spit a mile? Come on the 9th of December 2017 to Manjimup, the only Cherry Town in the Southern Hemisphere where you can spit off the back of a truck in the main street and not get arrested.

Okay, maybe not a mile, but long enough to frighten small animals and make old men sit up straight in their chairs in an attempt to see where the pip went.

Clayton is all fired up. He had so much fun last year in New Zealand at the Hillux New Zealand Rural Games in Palmerston North that half the town is now claiming him as a cousin.

The man who puts it all together, Steve Hollander, said Clayton would be welcome back in 2018.

"But we'd rather someone else because Clayton made us all look a bit pathetic," said Steve.

In the spit mix is the Celebrity Spit Off, usually won by Terry "Big Wind" Redman, National Party MP and champion with the dummy, the women's section, usually won by Jo "Perennial" Perry, who was our original open section winner and the Youth Yodel, open to young folk of all ages.

The distance was not only a national record but a personal best for Mr Ellis, who said his prior record for cherry pip spitting was 10.3m.

Mr Ellis attended the games in New Zealand after winning the Cherry Pip Spitting Competition at the Cherry Harmony Festival last year with a distance of 9.2m.

Manjimup's 2015 GlobeVista Australasian Cherry Pip Spitting Competition

How far can you spit a pit?

Better Bigger Brighter

This year’s Manjimup Cherry Harmony Festival is the 15^th.

And they said it would never last.

The spitters will make their mark again, on the tarmac, on the road, where the pips land.

And don’t forget the first prize in GlobeVista Cherry Pip Spitting Championship of Australia and All Other Freedom Loving nations of the Entire Universe is: free ticket to New Zealand to spit on their champs. Sorry, Against their champs.

This year the local champ will fly to Wellington in March and spit olive pips. The Big Spit will take place in Palmerston North, a town once verbally harassed by John Cleese.

But all is forgiven and John will be there to spit along with the best Australasia has to offer. Okay, maybe I made that up, but he will be mentioned, there is no doubt.

To spit a pip, be it cherry or olive, makes no difference, a spit is a spit, by any name.

ARE YOU READY?

THIS years festival will be different.
The usuals will take place and even new stuff.
We have been challenged.
Accepted.
Be prepared.

THE WORLD RECORD?

UNBELIEVABLE
