I won’t be watching the Olympic games, as they don’t feature things I might be interested in. There will be no sled dog racing, no cattle and sheep dog competitions (okay, my dog Max is interested in that), and no cat herding ( the cats like to laugh at humans. What can I say?).
The selection of sports is too narrow and lacks the sort of gratification that could come from real grudge matches like Team USA versus Team Russia in the deadly tug-of-war. This matchup is not about pulling your opposing team across the line. The idea is to pull them through a pit of disgusting goo, adding insult and humiliation to loss. What about full-tilt boogie, King of the Mountain? Or how about jello pit wrestling?
I’ve written to the IOC and am still waiting for a response. Let them know what you want! How about making Hot Dog Eating an Olympic sport?

I’m definitely up for more fun sports in the Olympics! How about the egg and spoon race? Or that one we all did in primary school where you had to run to the end, put on a fairy costume and then run back again?
I like the way you think!
Or how about pilling a cat? The first person to slap the cat on its back and shove the pill down, wins. A bit like judo.
Judo was considered to vicious a sport of the Games…Pilling a cat might be considered to bloody – all those torn up arms and hands!
Me either. I like winter sports. 😀
