:-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) ;-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) >>This year, the United States, as host nation, is introducing the following: >> >> Rhythmic Gymnastics (women only) which includes: hoop, ball, ribbon, >> rope, and clubs. This one sounds suspicious to me. No whips? I thought the Olympics were being held in Loonyland (L.A., which does not stand for low alcohol - a sillier idea than light beer). >> 4-woman team kayak (500 meters). My, 500 meters is really long! Though it could be my misunderstanding of the metric system. I had a friend in college that was always talking about 15 cm and that seemed to impress lots of dates who knew nothing about metric. And four women at once? Vanessa Williams isn't on the team, is she? [I know, that was a cheap shot. I sincerely apologize.] >> Women's Small Bore Sport Pistol. No comment. >> Surfsailing (freestyle, long-distance, and slalom). Like I said, California. Gag me. But you missed a sport the LAOOC added at the last minute: Line Snorting. I understand John Belushi will be the U.S. judge. -- -- "It's only by NOT taking the human race seriously that I retain what fragments of my once considerable mental powers I still possess."
