In that case, I'll be petitioning the IOC to include the following SPORTS in the 2012 Summer Olympics in London:

Bowling

Darts

Shuffleboard

Air Hockey

Twister

Charades

Billiards

and for those who hate to see the Olympics come to an end . . .

Monopoly (that'll keep 'em goin' 'til the 2016 games take over)

It will go much better for you if you do it on mountains or at least hills

Well, the person with snowshoes pushing behind the skier certainly deserves a medal...

In the beginning all contestants in the Olympics were naked.

On the downside, they were all men.

Perhaps the Olympics could generate more interest if the events involved co-ed nudity.

I know I'd never miss another one!
