Question on Winter Olympics

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Unk's Troll-free Private Saloon : One Thread

You know that 2-man luge event, where the two guys lie on their backs on top of each other on the luge sled?

Would you rather be the guy on top or the guy on the bottom?

Is there a 3-man luge where someone gets to be Lucky Pierre?

No monsieur, there is no 3 man luge. However, the IOC is reviewing the proposed soixante-nouf 2 man luge where each rider lies in an opposite direction.

Apres moi, le luge

What about the sled where one 'tucks' behind the other? I never understood these events. Speed skating, I understand. Cross-country, I understand. This ranks up there with ice dancing, not quite 'sport' status.

In 2006, snowball fights are scheduled for trials.

How 'bout snowman building? They could be scored the same way they score the ice dancing: grace, technical merit, and costumes.

I prefer the nude co-ed luge, with the woman on top. We interlock our genital organs so that the woman will not fall off, then she controls our speed and direction by adjusting her upper body position. The Olympic Committee will undoubtedly approve this for future games since it is the most exciting version of the luge.

Three cheers for the Zambian Zamboni team!
