Olympic Update
Posted by TheJOTUS on August 19, 2008
Ok folks, just as I was giving the Olympics another chance, it goes and punches me right in the gut. I admit, I had a slight change of heart after Michael Phelps and company completely roped me in– especially Phelps’ 7th medal race, WOW. I started watching water polo, Misty May-Treanor and Kerri Walsh, hell even gymnastics.
But it turns out it was all a sham. Hogwash. I was duped, hoodwinked and bamboozled. Just as I started to change my opinion, I was quickly clubbed over the head, had smelling salts packed into my nose and brought back to earth. Why you ask? How?? I’ll tell you how: The freaking trampoline. Yeah you read that right, the trampoline. You see the trampoline is an Olympic sport…ahem…event. When I saw this I nearly fell out of my chair.
So apparently there is another backyard activity (see post below) the Olympics have made into an event. We have badmitton and now, folks, the trampoline. How about we make the slip-n-slide an event? Extra points for staying on the mat the entire way down!! Why not synchronized sprinkler dancing? Horse shoes? Washers? Lawn darts?
How about we make it a decathalon? We could round it out with timed events in mashing hotdogs, potato salad and the first to slam 12 beers. Dear Lord, I think I am the gold medal favorite going into 2012. I shall represent you well Old Glory, I shall represent you well.

I heard the team 4X100 relay was going to be replaced with the 3 legged potato sack 200 in 2012.
