Sportswise, I am a fly in the ointment. I am the one gnashing my teeth at the thought of a Thanksgiving spent watching American football or the person most likely to fling away the most recent sports magazine—swimsuit issue or not. So why should it be any different from the highly commercialized, overly hyped Olympics?
Want to win me back to the Games? OK, I Have a plan. How about adding some innovative stuff from the broader world of sports? How about marathon ballroom dancing, tossing the caber, saber dancing, jello pit wrestling, great pumpkin kayaking, or my favorite, fireball soccer? By the way, fireball soccer is played with a flaming kerosene-soaked coconut and bare feet—not for the faint of heart!
Yes, the Olympics are boring. We should make them great again. Get out the cabers and coconuts!

Great suggestions!
Thanks!
Agreed. And let us not forget bed racing and wife carrying. 🙂 ~Ed.
How could I forget wife carrying! Especially over a muddy field!
this might renew my interest in the great games… save me a seat! Hugs
So you never watched championship bowling on TV? 🎳
🤣
My dad was in two different bowling leagues. Always looking to pick up pro tips on how to make that spare. 🙄😆
Have you seen The Big Lebowski? Bowling is big in that movie and hilarious.
Oh, yes! Dontcha know I was a cocktail waitress at a bowling alley in my younger days. Yes, indeed…
Wow!!!!! 😳
back when I was a kid I was big into bowling and watched it. Up here in New England they also have the little candlepins with the small balls – a different game.
I like to watch skiing. (Thanks Martha 🤣)
Good suggestions. Maybe the coconut game will be introduced when the games come to Brisbane. I still won’t watch them. What a waste of money for the host city.
agreed, they go into debt.
