10 Olympic Events I'd Like To See

1. Synchronized Shot Put
2. Bowling
3. Beach Tetherball
4. Bovestrian Event (dressage, cross-country, show jumping)
5. Hokey-Pokey
6. 5000 Kilometer Backstroke
7. Shuffleboard
8. Red Rover
9. Fishing
10.Shoplifting

Betland's Olympic Update
* The Shot Put competition was held where the original competition was held in ancient times. They tried to re-create those days gone by, by having people walk up the venue and sit on the ground, and by not selling concessions other than water. Hmmm. Wonder if they had rampant prostitution?
* We won a silver in kayaking! We won a silver in kayaking!
* Why do men gymnasts always sound like they sucked in a helium balloon? Is it the constant pounding of the ground with such force? Are their testicles forever maimed by that? Have they maybe landed straddling a pommel horse? Are their shorts too tight?

I was thinking about the terms equine and bovine today, and then wondered if bull riding would be considered a "bovestrian" event. So I Googled the word and got only two hits - and yours was one of them. Apparently someone else in the world thinks just a little bit like I do. Don't know if that's a good thing or not.

And I found this post because I did the same thing. Looks like there are 3 of us. I also wondered if the opposite of a torpedo is a tumido, and what exactly would that look like?
