1. Marathon Pole Dancing.
Edited on Thu Feb-25-10 10:11 PM by BlueIris
I'm only half kidding. Based on the popularity of the proposition to add pole dancing to the Olympics...it could happen. Not that I'd want to see it happen, but I can picture an Olympic Pole Dancing event in eight years or so (provided we still have a planet by that time).

3. There was a rumor that Top Gear was going to do an "Around the World"
extended episode driving a trio of shitboxes. That probably would not have gone well, considering.

4. Are you familiar with the 24 hrs at LeMons?
I think cars bought for over $1500 do not qualify.

Edited on Fri Feb-26-10 11:17 AM by arbusto_baboso
Saying "Bad Light Beer Division" would be a bit redundant, dontcha think?

16. Depends. Some people still believe the commercials.
Two dumb fat assholes are out camping in flannel shirts, jeans, and hunting caps. One opens a can of (fill in the cheap brand) light beer. Six blondes with double-stuffed Oreo implants run out of the woods in bikinis. Obviously an orgy is about to happen. Announcer gives a quick "Open our cheap beer and get laid" type final message.

I think it is a public service announcement sort of thing to make sure the word "bad" precedes any mention of "light beer".

24. Figure skating needs a punch-up --- add fencing
two competitors face each other across the rink and then the starters pistol fires.
Across the ice they twirl and Lutz and spin trying to get the perfect attack on their opponent while scoring style points........
