Thankfully for everyone involved, the Winter Olympics officials spotted me and managed to stop me before I got to the ski jump.

    We need to make this happen. Kind of like the Puppy Bowl as an alternative to the Superbowl.

    I couldn’t care less about the olympics, but I would watch this and even consider participating if there were local events.

      I saw a stand-up bit where the comedian (I forget who unfortunately) suggested that Olympic athletes should be chosen at random in the general population. It would actually be a much better indicator of a country’s health, would probably encourage people to exercise a bit more, and would make the games incredibly more entertaining!
