For God Sake, Woman! Poker Is An Olympic Sport! I'm An Olympian!

Okay, I am tired of being told that playing pool in the pub is 'not excercise'. I think that darts constitutes a fair amount of exertions - Foosball , too. But the question is, if you could make one thing you do well an Olympic event, what would it be?

Maturbating doesn't count.

Scrabble. Scrabble kicks ass. Well, Scrabble or Cluedo.

I find it absolutely disgusting that the Olympics only cater for "fit" people who are basically just lucky enough to be able to run fast. Big fucking deal, running round a track like a bloody greyhound doesn't require any real skill - Scrabble and Cluedo do.

A lazy-bastads olympics with pool, darts (i suck at darts, but what the hell), chess, pie-eating, scrabble, cluedo and Mario 3 would be far better than the crappy stuff they have just now (ooooh, he can jump far!)

killer at pool where everyone pays a quid and then you just have to keep potting a ball everytime you miss you lose a life you get 3 lives and then your out,have made many's a good night out after winning a few games so would be happy to represent britain,or even scotland in the comonwealth games.
pub quiz's could be an olympic event where a load of guy's with thick glasses and hairy ears could sit around in a replecant snug answering questions about different cheeses and the capitals of the world,i for one would watch that on pay per veiw.

Lawn mowing.

I'm quite agile with the lawn mower, and if lawn mowing became an Olympic sport, I would train hard to improve on my speed. I just realized one could also have a lawn mowing relay. When the bag is full, the teammate empties it, and hands it over to the next teammate. Nifty idea, methinks.

Curby.

Why do kids not play curby anymore?

Okay when I was a kid me mam used to have a fit when we got the ball out for a good game of curby. It was always watch the windows, dont play near the old peoples houses. Stay off the side road as the cars come round that fast. SHUT UP MOTHER.

Sorry was just reliving my childhood. I just wanted to play curby.

For anyone who doesn't know how to play well its real easy.

Two players, One ball, A road that has a pavement on each side with a curb on it. YES. Do we understand?

Anyhows you throw the ball try to hit it on tha curb opposite so it rebounds back to yourself and then you get to have a shot from in the middles of the road. Anyways thats it. LOL. Really.

I was a master at it.

Any other schmoes any good, we could set up a club.

I wasn't bad at curby. Little scamps around here still play it, but they're not as cool as I was, not by a long shot. When we played it, if a car came we'd wait then throw the ball over it, trying to get it as close to the roof as possible without hitting the car. Kids today have no balls (not the throwing kind).

The rules of that game were all fucked up, 1 point for hitting the curb, then 10 every hit from half-way, and 6 million points if you throw it backwards over your head. Cool game though.

Do they have Underwater Hockey at the Olympics? Because they should.

If they do - put Dodgeball in there! It would be so funny.

Dodgeball is not already in there...is it?

Smear the queer.

Basically whoever has the ball (or sock, or toy, or anything) gets chased down and pummelled. Great fun.

Or Quarters. The drinking game.

I own.

Some sports/games just need to be in the Olympics!

Pie-Eating Contest
Dodgeball
Human Frogger (the most fun game ever, just run as fast as you can across a crowded city street!)
Stickball
Wall Ball
Strat-O-Matic Baseball
Checkers/Chess
Darts
Ultimate Frisbee
Strip Poker
Naked Mud Wrestling (women only)

Or you could combine sports, like...
Sumo Ping Pong
Synchronized Basketball
Volleyball on Bicycles

And of course, Quidditch. Damn, the Benny Olympics would be incredible!

Tic Tac Toe!!!

You had to take totally tiny steps and try and make your feet reallly SMALL as you and your opposition advanced towards each other (usually to decide who got first pick for Team Chase or British Bulldog). First one to step on the others toes got to make the first pick! If you could not decide it that way, you either played Rock Scissors or Paper or would loudly declare...

"Ip Dip Dog Shit"

...as you tried to reach an end to the stalemate (you just chose your mates anyway).

I would have been the fucking MASTER of Tic Tac Toe!!!!!

hmmmmm curby. the hours i have spent playing that. got nostalgic six months ago and went out for a game (i'm only 20).


personally i think poison-ball would be great. thatys where u run back and forth a wall while some one pelt a tennis ball at you. if you get hit, your IT baby. for fun time try a football. its easier to dodge.


oh and foot tennis. thats tennis, but with a football and feet.

and a personal fave was a game that was part rugby, part full on brawl. it didnt have a name. u got a point if you got the ball into the opponents half. u could do anything to your opponent, punch kick slam, u name it. my brother and myself had a one on one game that lasted 2 hours and ended in a draw. and more bruises than i care to think about. it wasnt big, it wasbt clever, but good lord, it was fun

Smear the queer! Oh yah, brutal game, we used to play that when we couldn't get enough kids together for a regular football game. You took me back on that one Greb. Maybe King of the Mountain could be an Olympic sport. This is basically you find a big pile of snow and try to knock each other off the top.

i am absolutely piss awful at snap. i just dont have the ability to win at this game. theres always someoen so much faster than little old me.

the only thing i am worse at is a boardgame called Frustration. i could never win at that. oh and i sucked at monopoly too. guess who kept landing on mayfair after some bastard builds a hotel? *points thumbs at himself* this guy here.

I wasn't bad at Monopoly, but Frustration..... bah. I fucking hated that game. In fact, I still hate it. I hope whoever invented that bloody game died from asphyxiation brought on by his own penis while listening to Mariah Carey.

You know what would be a great olympic event, though? That's right, Subbuteo. You know it makes sense.
