why eating your weeties everyday is good for you

May 5th 2007 06:47

after this we all start cruising around in buggies and acting with tina turner

i knew there were crazy sports out there, look at high jump for example. the last time i had to jump a fence i didn't run at it from the side, and i most certainly didn't roll like a worm that has been half squashed when i went over it. and there wasn't a nice big fluffy mattress on the other side waiting for me to 'flop' my body on to it, more like a spikey cactus or a half starved german shepherd.

i suppose it is safe to say that most sports start as something that is done in everyday life, and then followed by human nature in that we must beat those that try to come up against us. look at football (or soccer as it might be known as).

'what should we do with all of those decapitated heads fredrick?'
'i know! let's kick them around and try to kick them past each other.'
'that's pretty simple...'
'ok, we have to kick them into a designated area past each other.'
'splendid.'
'indeed.'

i hope he dropped the kids off at the pool this morning

how then do sports like tractor tyre lifting come to be? or truck pulling? does the eastern block really not have enough money to buy car jacks? or do the scotish just not want to use cranes to move their logs? what's even funnier is there is a federation that has been set up where muscle men of the world can unite and lift heavy things together. just the way god intended.

at the w.s.m.c. (world strong man cup) federation, there is no notion of 'would you like a hand to lift that?' it is more like 'how heavy can you handle?'
'well ok then, how many times can you lift it?'
'how far can you throw it?'
'well what about pushing it? with 20 hot chicks on top all in pink bikinis.'

i think it is hilarious that not only do these sports exist, but there is a global federation to support it. with massive hunks of men from all over the world doing things like dragging anchors or suspending kegs of beer in front of them. their mum's must have made them eat their crusts when they were kids.

Jonathon,

LMFAO!!

I always wonder about these guys when I see them on tv doing these sorts of stupid, lame things...

I mean, what sort of job can you get when all you can do is to pull a truck with your teeth???

Jesus...

Great post!

Take care,

Nick
