GUEST POST – Paul’s Ten on Tuesday: New Olympic Events

This week’s Ten on Tuesdayprompt asked for “10 Events that SHOULD Be In the Olympics,” and when Ipassed it along to Tall Paul, he had no trouble coming up with a list.Lucky for me, he was happy to let me have it for a guest post. Pleasewelcome my favorite guest blogger, my husband Paul, back for a returnengagement at The 3 R’s!(BTW, and you heard it here first, he’s seriously thinking aboutstarting a blog of his own, so I may not be able to weasel these “guestposts” out of him for much longer.)

Cow-tipping. And for the men: Bull-tipping. The event can be judged by size of bovine and distance athletes run before being trampled/gored.
Obstacle Course à la Wipeout.Of course, the downside would be that we would have to watch Bob Costasdo a touchy-feely bio about an Olympian from some country where theydon’t have “Big Balls.” OK, maybe that would be worth watching! Bob:“After the break, we’ll see what Sürgé had to do to get his hands onsome Big Balls.”

Dungeons and Dragons. Nerds unite! The Olympics already has badminton, so it’s not such a stretch to make D&D a sport.
Double Dutch. I would love to see an inner-city 12-year old girl kick some Russian As*!
Bar-B-Q. Television sets would have to be upgraded to Smell-O-Vision. Can you imagine how much fun the training would be?

Mario Kart for the Nintendo Wii. I just might have a shot at the Gold! Oh no! Not Rainbow Road!

Dodgeball. Hey! If Handball can be an Olympic Sport…

Miniature Golf. Oh please! You can’t tell me that curling is more exciting. Athlete interviews would include memorable quotes such as “Das vindmill is vucking impozibul!”

Bullsh*tting. Finally, an event for politicians! They can actually compete for medals, not just votes. “A javelin in every garage, and a shuttlecock in every pot!”

Cat bathing. No reason, other than it’s just so fun to watch.

  1. Oh man, this list puts mine to shame. D&D, Double Dutch, BBQ, cat bathing… Yes, this is likely to be the best list of the week I'm thinkin'.

  2. Cat bathing. Awesome idea. I came up with the obstacle course, too. I purposely didn’t read anybody else’s to make sure I didn’t feel the urge to lift any ideas.

  3. Florinda is lucky she can get free posts out of her husband 🙂 – and yes, he’s a very funny guy!

    I think maybe we need to start a petition to get Cat Bathing on the Olympic events roster. Who’s with me?

  4. That would be great if Paul starts up his own blog! I’d definitely stop in and visit. That’s a great list. I especially like the idea of adding in Double Dutch. That would be my favorite event.

  5. Literary Feline – I think Paul’s in preparation mode. He was designing a title banner this weekend, and has a whole list of post ideas. His blog will be WAY more random than mine. I think he needs a place to rant :-). But I’m really excited that he wants to join us!

    Not a fan of Cat Bathing :-)?

  6. Literary Feline – I don’t think Paul had cats bathing themselves in mind with that one – that can be relaxing to watch. In my experience, giving a cat a bath is anything BUT relaxing :-)!
