1. Ikea constructing...
and Arschbombe ("cannonball" diving).

Also maybe a few of the events removed from the Olympics in earlier days, like sack racing.

31. 10m, 5m, and 3m Bellyflop
The Japanese Sumo Wrestlers would sweep those events.

2. Men's synchronized swimming
Its the dumbest thing anyway, but to see some hairy legs popping out of the water in sequence would be hysterical.

11. Headbanging
If curling can be in the Olympics, we can charge 35 bucks to watch a couple of guys rock out to old Megadeth albums.

13. Circle-jerk contests?
Heck, the Greeks put artwork on their pottery depicting wholesome man-on-man activities, so how do we know they didn't do the aforementioned topic either? :shrug:

It would be sweet to watch Anthony Gatto run 7 clubs (or 9 balls) for a couple of minutes.

16. The Republican hammer throw...
... take one Republican, one extra-heavy-duty dog leash, and have at. The fun part is when they drag on the ground a bit before getting them up to speed for launch.... :P

39. Was that surreal or what?
It came on when I was flipping and my wife was like, "What the hell is that?" I said, "Girls on trampolines ... I bet the next one is gonna have big hooters--and she's gonna take the gold." Well, apparently they are actually judged on something related to "atheletic ability." Go figure. :shrug:

41. okay, here are a few real possibilities:
Some of my favorite childhood sports never seen at the Olympics:

Gymkana

Cutting

Reining; actually, this one is recognized by the International Equestrian Federation, and is included in the World Equestrian Games (WEG), which take place every four years, in the even year between two Summer Olympic Games. In Atlanta 2000, there was a "demonstration," and it may someday be included in the Olympics.
