New Olympic Sports: Rubgy Sevens and Golf

[kained&able]

Oooh, there's a lot of misunderstandings about the marathon. Like: where was the original marathon?

Its now called the town of Snickers.

And yeah there is some dispute about if they bloke went from sparta(or was it troy?? i cant remember) to athens or marathon to athens or some shite.

How fit do you need to be to ski jump? You stand there, slide, take off and hope to land in one piece? They should make it compulsory for WAGs..

OOOH don't get me started on some of the winter games stuff?

Curling for fucks sake, CURLING

Oh alright then.. rhythmic gymnastics or any panel based scoring competition?

 

[kained&able]

Oh alright then.. rhythmic gymnastics or any panel based scoring competition?

Yeah any of the modern dancey gymnatsics can fuck right off and so can synconrised swimming for that matter. Panel based scoring stuff sounds like shooting which is allowed under my military rules, which no one believes..

A round of golf contains at least as much physical effort as sailing one of those Olympic courses.

I wouldn't be so sure about that.

As to the new sports, rugby sevens is fantastic and a lot more entertaining than normal rugby union so that's a great addition. It'll be fantastic to see the Pacific nations competing at such a high level and I can't wait to see William Ryder in action:

Quite quick sevens superstar

As for golf, meh.

 

[Griff]

Yeah any of the modern dancey gymnatsics can fuck right off

So you're not keen on the ribbons then?

 

[paulhackett]

I don't mean shooting at panels, I meant things like diving where someone gives you a mark out of 6 or 10 or whatever it is, for falling over dramatically into water

Indeed -- although Pheidippides the messenger is supposed to have run from Marathon to Athens, the only actual documentation of the legend is of the messenger Pheidippides running from Athens to Sparta and then back again -- a total distance of 300 miles! No wonder he then collapsed and died. As if 26 miles would have killed him. Pfft.

The kained&able Olympics would be a small and exclusive affair

Oh right diving is allowed.

dave

 

[paulhackett]

Oh right diving is allowed.

Why? You may as well include clips from You've Been Framed?

 

[kabbes]

No, allow him his arbitrary decisions. I like them. We should eliminate the Olympic panel and replace it with kained and a clipboard. And a big rubber stamp that says "NO!"

 

[kained&able]

nah i'd just add a load of MMA/martial arts and a few of the x-games type events to compensate for the devastating loss of golf sailing(possibly) and ribbon twiddling.


dave

 

[kained&able]

Why? You may as well include clips from You've Been Framed?

Cos its like gymnatsics without the rings/bars innit.

My stamp will say "fuck off" rather then no and the positive will be a double thumbs up.

 

[kabbes]

You'd turn it into a mashup of the WWE and Tony Hawkes Skating?

 

[paulhackett]

No, allow him his arbitrary decisions. I like them. We should eliminate the Olympic panel and replace it with kained and a clipboard. And a big rubber stamp that says "NO!"

I'm delighted if diving remains.. just questioning the consistency, but you've corrected me, and I'll stick with the Dave Games for now

 

[kabbes]

And you still haven't said what you'd do with badminton.

Oh! What about the horsey events? You don't get much more old school military than horseriding. But I suspect you don't like it anyway.

 

[paulhackett]

Cos its like gymnatsics without the rings/bars innit.

If you're doing thumbs up you should go for more international sign language? One finger or two finger salutes?

 

[kabbes]

No, he's only going to allow the British to enter anyway.

 

[kained&able]

Not wwe(unfortunately, i can't blag that as sport ) MMA was an original olympic sport(after the 5th one or whatever) though and should be back in now that it is popular again.

Bit of tony hawk would be great. Its about time some of the flippy bmx/skating events get to the olympics. I see no reason why some of them are not included.


dave

 

[kained&able]

If you're doing thumbs up you should go for more international sign language? One finger or two finger salutes?

two finger salute with fuck off written in the middle. Your quite right, everyone needs to know their shit idea is being insulted.


dave

 

[kabbes]

BADMINTON

 

[paulhackett]

two finger salute with fuck off written in the middle. Your quite right, everyone needs to know their shit idea is being insulted.


dave

Big foam hand with fuck off fingers and thumbs up or is that too Jeux sans Frontieres for you?

 

[kained&able]

yeah bit american.


kabbes i share your pain, its a shit sport but unfortunately can see no grounds for disqualifying it.


dave(harsh but fair)

 

[kabbes]

Are you talking about badminton or horsey sports? Because actually I like them both. SO STICK THAT UP YOUR TWO FINGERED FUCK-OFF STAMP.

 

[kained&able]

Badminton! i hate it.

Oh im getting rid of dressage horsey thingy as well. That is fucking pointless.

Might as well have horsey not getting spooked by fireworks as an event if that is allowed.


dave

 

[kabbes]

You'd keep showjumping and cross-country then?

As it happens, cross-country horse riding is probably the most ballsy event of them all. Have you seen the fences they jump? Fuck me sideways.

 

[kained&able]

yeah allows the jumping and cross country. Military.

Might bring back jousting to keep the horsey people happy. That looks cool.

dave

 

[kabbes]

Proper mental.

where's his knackerz !!1!
