I think the more weird "sports" the merrier. If it was up to me Bowling, stacking cups, ballroom dancing, cheerleading, bullriding, Tug of war and pole dancing would be in the Olympics |
That is what the XGames are for. |

when are they going to bring back softball? |
Likely never. The US is too good at it. |

what a tease!
the brasilians came out with a sampling at the closing ceremony, and i was moved to tears by their foreplay. i'll never be able to explain my passion for this country, its people, its culture - maybe it's a past-life thing - but i'm in a hopeless love affair. i know only one other person who feels inexplicably drawn to a place. the object of her obsession is . . . iceland! (what's up with that?!)
here's hoping 2016 comes quickly and i'm in good health to enjoy it. wild horses couldn't keep me from maracană stadium. brasil has been doing extravaganzas since the '20s. this will be their crowning glory.

Ironic that that that is the reason still used since they didn't win gold in the 2008 Olympics and they aren't the current World Champions. |
It is the reason they essentially kicked out baseball as well. |
