Now there's a great idea. Get smoke belching polluting, noisy kiddie bike racing into the Olympics.
What would be next... Nascar racing?
....and what do mean about giving us "another gimmie".
Not sure if you understand how the Olympics works but athletes have to beat the best the world has to offer in order to earn a gold medal.

There's a lot of strategy and thinking involved, along with the skill

I've got to admit, I find women's hockey a little more interesting. But I

might be too slam, bang, shoot'em up for you.
They probably also like ribbon dancing in the summer Olympics. And True
North as a janitor has to admire the broom work in Curling.
Now *that* is funny!

It's not right to make fun of Don because of his profession. He doesn't do that about anyone else's
occupation. Besides, becoming a janitor takes a lot of training, especially the liberal arts type.
Where would we be without them?

And, most likely the heroin found in that Fallsburg elementary school was found by an observant
janitor.

Just over and was tight until Sweden made one mistake in the 9th end,

You wouldn't have posted this if they lost. Curling *is* boring as
hell.

It's beyond boring. It's stupid.. What's next, Olympic Bocce Ball.. How
about lawn darts?? I know, beer swilling.. oh wait, don't want to give
the Canadians another gimme:)

Downhill BMX racing is a natural for the summer games. They can do it
at the ski venues. The same boys who are nuts on snow boards are nuts
on mountain bikes in the summer.


Yup, and why not freestyle motocross? Have you seen ads for "Nitro
Circus"? Do a google, Jessi went a couple weeks ago.


Quick...name all the motorized sports in the summer or winter Olympics.
Go ahead, list them.

Why would anyone want the racket, noise and smells of motorbike racing
at the Olympics? Blech.

I don't know what Don did for a living back in the day, but whatever it
was, it was certainly on a higher societal level than traveling overseas
to a country that did us no wrong and be part of a United States effort
that resulted in a decade of shootings, bombings, and use of chemical
weapons. Really, John, it's hard for me to think of a job that was less
useful than participating in a war against Vietnam in which years of
efforts were made to try to shoot, bomb and chemically send Vietnam back
into the stone age, and kill about a million Southeast Asians in the
process.

Do you ever feel remorse for the killing games in which you
participated, either directly or indirectly? I mean, Vietnam was not
like WW II in which the future of the free world was at stake, right?

Don, what is 'belching, polluting, noisy' about BMX racing?

Do you have any idea what you're talking about?

Here, maybe this will help:

Don was probably thinking motorcycles which belch somewhat less than his
little outboard...

Johnny, you should read carefully before making dumb comments.
The vertically challenged guy from CT was suggesting freestyle motocross.

Don, you should try to tie your responses to a specific post. Greg posted about BMX bicycles. You
responded to 'something'.

Now you're trying to convince me you weren't talking about BMX bicycles.

Now I'm beginning to see why you find it necessary to add an 'ny' or 'ie' to peoples names.

A bit babyish, but kinda cute in its way.

I haven't watched Olympic sports in many years, but I seem to recall a
couple of events for pedal-powered bicycles. That seems appropriate for
the Olympics, but I'm pretty certain there is no place in the Olympics
for engine-powered sports, and there shouldn't be.
