I’d like to see midget tetherball.

I really try to be good but it just isn’t in my nature!
Jarts
If it jams, force it; if it breaks, it needed replacing anyway.
Taget Jarts!

Three Legged Racing
OH and of course
The Egg Toss
Regimental kilted basketball would be intersting to watch.
“jump guys jump!”
Kestrel
Synchronized chainsaw juggling. That’ll bring the ratings up!
Shared pain is lessened; shared joy is increased.
Dopers who watch the BBC might now this: Robot Wars!!
That would RULE. Check it out: http://www.robotwars.co.uk/intelligence.html

The Bricker Challenge!
I have a hobby. I have the world’s largest collection of seashells. I keep it scattered on beaches all over the world. Maybe you’ve seen some of it.
The Olympics sucks. That’s a clear and valid statement. The sports that they are adding are hardly sports.
I wouldn’t be surprised if the added
SCRABBLE
in a few years!
R.J.D.
Why don’t they add
DRIFTWOOD STARING
or
VIRTUAL WEIGHT LIFTING
or
TYPING(that way the fastest typers in the world can fight for secretary positions, imagine putting that on your resume)
“Beer Bong Relays”
“The Talk to the Hand, Not to the Face-Off” in which the “athletes” compete in a “Jerry Springeresque” dual of talking to the other competitors hands, and not their faces. Talking to the face will of course result in a foul and point deductions.
I think they should start adding card games like poker, cribbage, bridge, etc. But the crowning achievement should be 1000 Blank White Cards and is the card game equivalent of Calvinball. I would actually like to play it some day.
HUGS!

Synchronized Snivelling
Master-Class Tech Support
Quantum Indetermancy (aka Teasing Schroedinger’s Cat)
Speed-Reading (imagine the tension!)
and, in slightly less silly categories:
Caber Tossing
and those he-men log sports ESPN 2 always seems to show (you know, like “hack at this giant tree trunk with an axe, shove a board in, jump up on board to hack away again to place another board, then hack yet a third time until you sever the top of the stump” – I know it has a name, but I’ll be damned if I know what that is.)
…but when you get blue, and you’ve lost all your dreams, there’s nothing like a campfire and a can of beans!
Troll roping
Naked hockey
Full contact moto-cross
Identify the dead thing (my favorite roadkill game)

I always thought that sling throwing should be an Olympic sport. Any kid can practice the sling, anywhere, all you need is a piece of leather and a bag of rocks. You can have contests for accuracy, speed, distance, even team sling. The sling is even older than archery.
