Thread Name: BS: common people's Olympics
Subject: BS: Real World Olympics
The last time I watched the Olympics (I think it was Salt Lake)I got to noticing how the large people of the world tend to dominate. I know there are exceptions, but when did you last see a winner from the Phillipines, say?

There WAS the luge event, but as my husband said, "You could put a frozen turkey on that thing and get the same result."

I have created a concept called the Real World Olympics. So far, I've thought of three events where the athletes will be judged on speed and grace.

1. Go into a huge supermarket and purchase toothpicks without asking for help or punching anybody.

2. Be in a largish room and get a cat to come to you.

3. Change the strings on a big guitar (not one of those dainty classical models.)

Have you any other events to suggest?
