The Forgotten Games


Does anyone really care about the Winter Olympics? Or the Summer Olympics for that matter? I can't think of a single soul who anxiously awaits these silly events. The most ridiculous events would have to be the biathlon and curling. Where does it come in handy to have the ability to ski far distances and then shoot a rifle? Maybe a park ranger in the Rockies might be accustomed to that sort of thing. Somehow I doubt it. And then there's curling. Are people that practice curling (called curlers I assume) considered athletes? I guess cleaning snow that lay in front of a moving rock can be tiresome. Anyway, me just talking briefly about the Olympics here suggests that I might have given this topic just a little too much thought. Damn! Another ten minutes completely wasted. Now I'm going to go get completely wasted.
