Blog Guy, your blogs about the lesser-known Olympics events have been eye-opening. Thanks for being the only one to write about Bare-Knuckle Self-Fighting, while the Mainstream Media just crams swimming down our throats. What else aren’t we seeing?
Well, I’m a huge fan of the Equestrian Jump-Over-it-Yourself event. This is where a horse gallops up to the fence, stops suddenly, and throws its rider over. It’s a very complex maneuver, and to get the most points, the riders have to look like they’re not expecting it.
Sheesh! I’m e-mailing NBC to demand coverage! Is there more stuff they’re hiding?
Absolutely. For instance, the so-called television coverage ignores my very favorite event, Women’s Stiletto-Heel Lingerie Slap-Boxing. You be sure to mention that in your e-mail to the network, and tell ‘em you saw it here.

One comment so far
Yesterday I watched another lesser-known sport: the men’s wet steeplechase, where you run a steeplechase course and try to fall into the water hazard. You get points for getting wet, extra points if you fall on your butt, and artistic points if you fall on your face. If you can bring yourself to get wet and just step in the water as you’re running, you get a deduction.
(This is based on the fact that somebody actually did fall into the water hazard.)
