Gerbil Olympics

Yes, this is all you're getting today. But it's totally awesome! And gerbil, hamster, whatever. It doesn't make a difference.

Rejected Winter Olympic Sports

Monday, February 15th, 2010

Every year, the Olympic Committee gets hundreds, if not thousands, of applications for new sports to be considered for inclusion. And each year there are a few new sports that just make you scratch your head, like curling and speed walking – can you imagine the ones that actually get rejected? Here are just a few of this year's rejections for the Winter Olympics:

Ice Fishing

Each participant is given a case of beer, a saw to cut a hole in the ice, and a fishing rod. The event lasts as long as it takes the fastest athlete to drink all of his or her beer. The gold medal goes to the participant with the highest beer drank/fish caught average. Anyone who passes out is disqualified.

Drifting

Athletes are provided a 1994 Ford F-150 and compete down a four-mile road. Along the sides of each road are high snowdrifts. Behind these snowdrifts are drop-offs into deep ditches. The winner is the competitor who can successfully drift into each snowdrift without dying by exploding his car.

Nipples

In this co-ed event, athletes are dropped naked into a field of snow, encased in glass. The first one to successfully use his or her nipples to cut said glass and escapes wins the gold.

Urinary Cursive

Male athletes are given a multisyllabic word of at least 8 letters that they must write legibly in the snow using nothing more than a gallon of Gatorade and their penises. Points are given for style, legibility, and flair. Female athletes may either use a small urinary hose or their hand to guide a male volunteer's penis.

Snow Dash

Participants are seated in a large hot tub, wearing nothing but their bathing suits. When the whistle blows, they must make a 100 yard dash through the 3-foot deep snow to the finish line, delineated by a roaring fireplace.

Pee Pee Dance Relay

Athletes must consume 8 liters of water or Gatorade and subject themselves to a full saltwater enema, then bundle up in eight layers of clothing. When the pistol fires, the competitors must run outside in the snow, build a snowman, throw six snowballs at a target, make a snow angel, and then make it inside and strip off their layers before soiling themselves.

Now these are some events that I'd watch!

Top Ten Reasons Chicago won't be Hosting the 2016 Olympics

Monday, October 5th, 2009

As you are probably aware, Rio de Janeiro has been chosen as the location for the 2016 Olympics, beating out Chicago, Tokyo, and Madrid. Needless to say, Americans who care about the Olympics, and Chicagoans specifically, are extremely disappointed. I thought it might help with the disappointment if I could explain exactly why Chicago was overlooked for this important decision:

10. The Committee was worried about Rod Blagojevich trying to buy a gold medal.

9. With Obama, Chicago already has a big enough ego as it is.

8. In a town where they put the sauce on the outside of the pizza and tomatoes and cucumbers on their hot dogs, who knows what they'd feed the athletes?

7. Too close to Alaska and, by proxy, Sarah Palin, for the Committee's comfort.

6. Michael Phelps petitioned for Brazil because his dealer is in Venezuela.

5. Ninjas.

4. In Brazil, the poor people just kidnap the rich ones. In Chicago, they shoot them.

3. Alec Baldwin told the world that if Chicago didn't win, he would move to Canada.

2. "You win DAH gold" just doesn't have the same panache as "Tu ganas la medalla de oro". (Yes, I know that they speak Portuguese in Brazil, but I don't know Portuguese!)

1. The Committee loves chicks with dicks.
