Check out the following article on CNN Global Experiences:  Ultimate is Hardcore..

From the Ultimate Lingo part of this article.. the following selection specially for Wendy! (you see, you all out there... Wendy is not crazy (no no!)... the land shark does exist! There is more... .. there is more there is even a Land porpoise and Sea World... (I think Wendy might be better understood in Asia)...

 

Land Shark: occasionally a group of players will lift a completely naked male on their shoulders with a disc wedged between his buttocks and proceed to run around the field chanting "land shark!"

Land Tortoise or Porpoise: occasionally a group of players will lift a completely naked female on their shoulders with a disc squeezed between two breasts and proceed to run around the field chanting "land tortoise/porpoise!"

Sea World when a land porpoise and a land shark are simultaneously hoisted up and one is tossed over the other. [see land shark]

 

 

I have been trying to picture it and as a marine biologist I am not convinced that the female version of the Landshark resemble a tortoise or porpoise... as you can see in the attached illustrations. The Landshark... yeah.. sort of a shark,I can picture that.

 

 

Cheers,
