I've been watching the Summer Olympics a little and some of the events slay me:
ex: Running around a room with a long ribbon tied to a stick is, (IMHO), NOT a sport!

Howsabout holding an 'International' event for 5er. owners?

1). "5er. Slalom"
2). "5er. Slalom", (backwards).
3). "5er. Parallel Parking"
4). "Back In...Unhook...Level...Drink a beer" 'Time Trials'
5). "5er. Hillclimb"...(various weight classes).
6). "Black-Tank Dumping"...(50 Gal. Minimum).
7).
8).

ETC.....

(Sorry folks...too hot to go outside...kinda' bored).

Enjoy the journey.....

How about a race to see who has the fastest opinion, and/or can slam someone's post in record breaking time.

Dbear & Azeffh: You both are sentenced to swim a race in a shark infested pool with Michael Phelps. The winner gets to get out of the pool.
