Weird to skim the overnight watch & post on the Olympics.
Biathlon fascinates me because it is such an opposite mix of maximum aerobic exertion -- as anyone who has cross-country skiied can tell you -- and dead calm accuracy.
There probably should be a summer-sport version where you run a 10K with stops for skeet shooting or bowling or whatever. Or maybe high-speed golf, where you have to do the 18 holes in the least amount of time, caddying your own clubs.
It's a shame they don't let me make up sports any more.
Seen at the Dunkin Donuts this morning: A heavy set man in his late fifties-early sixties, wearing a grey plaid CPO jacket and Scooby-Doo pajama bottoms.
Looks like Billytea's Bathrobe Day is catching on.
Loved Snowboard Cross, wish they'd stop comparing it to NASCAR.
Marathon with breaks for curling!! Doubly hard, because you'll sweat all over the ice, and make it messy.
Or checkers on board during the two-person kayak race. The winners of the race are gold and silver, with the gold going to the one who wins the checkers game. (It would be a magnetic, waterproof set.)
Bob meets curling - you have to hurl yourself down the track, avoiding the stones the other team are lobbing at your head. I'd watch it.

Make it skeleton instead of bob for that hurtling down the track face-first with no sled vibe, and I'd not only watch it but make a movie about it.
Roller Fencing: Someone's Gonna Lose an Eye
and I'd not only watch it but make a movie about it.
This they should definitely show every Christmas.
Don't put a pencil in your penis
Belgrade - A Serbian man needed emergency surgery after sticking a pencil inside his penis to keep it stiff during sex.
Timelies and gronk. This not being able to fall asleep until well after midnight thing has got to stop.
I realized last night that it's really annoying to have a lazy partner in a martial arts class. It wasn't really a problem in my TKD classes, where the instructor would chew out/give push-ups to anyone who was slacking. The swordsmanship class I'm taking is a lot more low key with the discipline (they make us do pushups if we smack the ground with the sword during cutting drills, but that's about it) and the guy I was paired off with last night kept deciding to stop working the drills about 3/4 of the way through the time alloted for each becuase he didn't feel like doing them any more. Ugh.
