| #6 A tag team event. It would have to be, wouldn't it? Five guys per team. Five against one, to even the odds. |

| #4 Let's tap into the 1.) The 40 meter relay team tunnel dig Four person crews will compete to excavate and remove soil using only hand tools while avoiding surface bulldozers. The first team to successfully transport underground a crate each of RPGs and AK-47s end-to-end wins the gold. 2.) The six meter fence climb This nighttime competition will involve scaling a razor wire topped mesh fence after traversing a two meter deep trench and electrified trip wires. Contestants will be provided with refrigerated gel-pack lined Kevlar jackets to reduce thermal profile and improve resistance to live sniper fire. Getting winged will not eliminate competitors but gutshots represent an immediate disqualification. All righty then. This ought to get the creative juices flowing for you Rantburgers. Let's see some knee slappers. |

| #3 The olympics are a joke. The paleos screwed them up in 72 and since the end of the cold war the east vs west thing is redundant. I like track and field and other top level comp. But Islam has made the whole thing an expensive PC crap hole. No, shit hole. I'll watch only un PC stuff, boxing, wrestling, sprints, max meters, splashing. |

| #2 If they screw up the security as badly as I expect, they may have the honor of having hosted the last modern as well as ancient olympics. |

#1 The games were originally to cost $5.5 billion, but the security budget alone has doubled. [emphasis added]Rethinking Greece's blind eye to and/or support of terrorists for the last 30 years, Giorgos? (/schadenfreude) |
