Hang on a minute. Venessa Mae is doing the skiing round poles event. What next Yehudi Menuin doing the ski jump?

We're gonna need an anthem when we enter the stadium. The tune that leaps to mind is: We Are The Champions, by Queen
Not bad, but I would suggest that ensemble is better suited for the summer Olympics, synchronized lawn mowing event or possibly the Texas discus toss (dried cow patties)Quote:

Lawn mowing the piste! Sign me up for that! At least it's not as daft as curling. That's the trouble with the winter Olympics all the events happen in cold and slippery conditions. Why they don't,t move them to the summer, I don't know.
Bah-Hahahaha...HAH!
This thread cracks me up every time I come over here.
The lawn-mowing competition is spot-on.
Now I'm picturing a bloke, wearing a beige jumpsuit with an embroidered crest on the the chest pocket and a built-in stretchy belt, pushing an electric lawn mower, shaking his fist at a kid on a bicycle.
"GET OFF MY LAWN"
You may have just come up with the games' logo there sancho
I just can't get excited about curling or "frozen bowls". Nor can I raise any enthusiasm for skating despite the ladies costumes. The ladies costumes are negatively balanced by the men's costumes, and they seem to be as old as my daughter.
The skiing and skateboarding on snow is much more fun.
Just a thought. We could sport our short haired pates or we could get a "hairstyle tattoo". The advantage being tbe intial choice is a 2d haircut of dreams which does however have some disadvantages.
Retro punk skinhead should suit everyone.Quote:

Surely that is the blue riband of the Games?
I propose a handicap event, with competitors with hyperprostatism being given a 3 point head start.
Extra bonuses for distance of writing from the writer, clarity of the writing, total number of letters, and extra points for difficulty for things like no hands. A second round will be the artistic freestyle session.
And no dribbling!
As to the figure skating,I was quite taken with the Russian girl Sotnikova who was wearing a small red dishcloth in the short program. I can imagine her father saying "You're not wearing that!"
Some of the holds are somewhat intriguing as well. I can see why partners are often very good friends.
Dribbling? Certainly not. Any mark outside the target area will be a points deduction.
Hell yeah! Lemme grab a six pack, and then sign me up for the snow-writing event. I'll be competing in the Big, BOLD, Swinging-Richard, Block-Letter division.
Hey, maybe we should have a braggart's competition too.
:smilielol5:
Maybe a deduction if your game doesn't meet your talk?
Well, the first time I showed up for a group ride wearing a pair of those Spandex cycling shorts, the guys in my bicycling club started calling me, The Acorn. I'm not sure why.
