Ten on Tuesday

Ten Events That Should Be In The Olympics.  The Summer Olympics begin at the end of this week!  And I'll be away for the weekend and miss the first few days.  I'm a little bummed about that, but I have fun planned, so I'll likely get over it.  What would be fun to see as an Olympic event?  Let's think.....

1. Synchronized Spinning and Plying.  Picture it:  Music, wheels turning in unison, dance movements performed by the athletes while creating yarn.  Team members are scored on creativity and the quality of the finished yarn.
2. Sheep Shearing.   
3. Guitar Hero.
4. Cow tipping.
5. Belly-flopping.  Well, they have diving, in pairs even!
6. Speed Googling.
7. Ultimate Frisbee.  You know, *stand around, chat, make a plan, throw the frisbee around for a second or four or five, repeat from (*).  This is a really laid-back sort of sport.
8. Rhythmic scuba diving.
9. Blogger photo shooting.  Something like, at ten paces turn, draw and shoot.  Have you seen the cameras flying when bloggers are around?
10. Something reality based, ala The Amazing Race.  Clues, challenges, interpersonal relationships, all based around the host city and customs.  Educational and fun to watch.

This one was hard for me.  Not that bright, nor clever, but a list non-the-less.

One hundred forty-nine to go.  I get really tickled each time a decade of numbers is ticked off in the count-down.  Into the one-forties we are.  Remember when the year started and it was 365?  Wow.

How about Blogging Marathon? You'd win that, I think!

Speed Googling. I like that one. There's definitely an option for degree of difficulty points in this sport :)

I disagree on the clever part. Synchronized spinning? Speed googling? Blogger photo shooting? Very very funny!

I like your style of Olympics. I'm already mourning the end of the year and that you'll not be blogging daily. :-(

Hilarious. Love Speed Googling and Blogger Photo Shooting. Hey... I throw down my camera manual and challenge you to a match of BPS this weekend!!!
; ) Maybe we can even get someone to photograph the photo shoot!

For #10 I suggest Rhinebeck scavenger hunt (see my ToT post for details).
