I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"

Heck they should include things like lawn mowing and tree trimming too!
How about re-roofing your house?  Let's see those namby-pamby "Olympians" handle those!  ;)

Bring back tug of war and make skipping and the beer chug boatrace Olympic events. If you can make race walking and equestrian dressage events you can make damn near anything an olympic event.

And screw all these different strokes in swimming- you swim whatever gets you to the finish fastest. Breaststroke  ::)

I googled highland games pole toss.

Apparently they call the pole a 'Caber'. It's a 175# and 19'6" tall larch tree.

I'm sure the local brazillians would've happily volunteered their houses for that portion of the olympic village.

The fookin scandal that was the RIO tenant evictions.  Bullied out of house and home to pave way for these 1-time-use stadium projects.  Almost BS thread worthy

I did a 30 yard 550engine carry from the driveway to the workbench.  Pretty sure I need more practice before I can toss the bugger

I tried "Breaststroke" down the pub last night. The wench slapped me hard enough to send my tankard of beer flying.

And all the big boys laughed at me.

Aye, the caber toss.  We have a number of Highland games here in the Southland. Great fun. Throwing telephone poles and giant rocks.

In less than an hour is the Rugby Men's Final.  Fiji v the U.K.  Fiji, as many of you know, is home of The Barbarians professional Rugby club - quite possibly the coolest sports team name EVER. I am pulling for Fiji (sorry Kiwis) for this reason and the fact that a British Pub snubbed my band for a return slot.  That's what they get for hiring an Irish band to play in a British Pub.
