OLYMPICS - GIMME THE RINGS

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

Golf? At the Olympics?

Now if you enjoy playing golf that's fair enough (although personally I'm of Oscar Wilde's opinion that it's a good walk spoiled) but how can you possibly get any enjoyment out of watching someone else play golf?

Boggles my mind.

They should bring Darts in.

They have archery & javelin, so why not a good old game of arrows?

Maybe the average shape and size of the competitors doesn't sit well with the Olympic sporting image. Although they don't mind it on the hammer throwers.

Or some of the water polo players.

I honestly thought greenpeace would show up at one point.

s'ok - if anyone is a fan of sports book, check out John Feinstien's A Good Walk Spoiled: Days and Nights on the PGA Tour.

It is a fantastic read, yes it's about GOLF, but don't let that put you off if you're a non golfer, if you like sport and reading about sport - you'll enjoy this book.

I like the idea of darts.
Thought Dog Sledding would also be a good addition!
As a Malamute owner, my dogs would love it, they loved watching the equestrian (on tv).
