New Olympic Events

skywalker · 02-20-2002, 08:00 AM

The other day I asked my wife if there was any Figure Skating events on TV (She loves it, but I don't really watch, I use the time she watches to feel less guilty about being on my computer, instead being with her). She said it's just Ice Dancing and frowned (she hates Ice Dancing).

Ice DANCING is an Olympic Event ?!?!?

So I thought why not Olympic....

Square Dancing (Maybe a medal for calling, too!)

Riverdancing (Was very popular, maybe still is?)

ContraDance (Achey Breaky music...I think I will be sick!)

Break Dancing (I guess it's too late for this.)

And best of all (In a politically incorrect tone!)

Olympic Lap Dancing

PS I am not serious...no offense intended.

That is a natural, as an event that would follow the Javelin competition!

[img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img] Of course!

Cliffdiving could be an option for the Summer Games.. but a real one!

Yes I have to admit some of the newer events that are being added to the Olympics is ridiculous. Since they have dancing why not singing?? Eventually they will move on to lawn mowing and sewing.

).

Pardon my ignorance, but what does "Heading the Shot" mean?
