Oddly inspired by this Photoshop Phriday, I'd like people to suggest ideas for either highly dangerous or highly worthless mixes of two competitive events. No fair suggesting anything found at that link.
My example suggestions:- Ballroom Discus
- Longest-Drive Easter-Egg Roll (egg rolling with a 3-wood)
- Model Rocket Eating Contest

Oh, those are great! There was a page I had that always went on Photoshopping contests -- let me try to find it again.
Sumo bungee jumping, heh? [eyes Photoshop thoughtfully]
Edit: Found it! Worth1000 is sure to give you some good Photoshoppin' entertainment.
Anyway, one day I was talking to my e-friend, Yone, and we were discussing about how people waste money so easily that they probably shit on it, too. So, after much philosophising and good doses of mind-boggling insights, we came to the conclusion that money grows in trees, and that shitting on it is part of this wonderful lifecycle. Thus was born The Circle of Life. Yeah, I have way too much time.

But Wooly, think of all those lovely, moving targets. What better to sharpen the eye and the fingers for a match or the deer season? 
I too, am, or at least was, an archer of sorts, although I never got into anything organized.

Bowfishing for pickrel, pike and carp was about the extent of my archery. All excellent eating, if you know how to dress and cook them. The refraction requires a good eye.

Indeed, Worth1000 made the international news last year. Quoting from New Mexicans for Science and Reason:The New Nation (Bangladesh) had an article on April 22nd in which Saalim Alvi from Riyadh wrote "Recently gas exploration is going in the desert of south east region of Saudi Arabia. ... this body [you MUST go to the site to see the picture!] has been found by ARAMCO exploration team. This proves what Allah SWT said in QURAN about the people of AAD nation and HOOD nation. They were so tall, wide and very power full that they were able to pull out big trees just with the one hand. But what happen after when they become misguided and disobeys Allah SWT, Allah SWT destroyed the whole nation. ULEMA KIRAM of Saudi Arabia believes that this body belongs to AAD nation. Saudi military took over this whole area. And nobody is allowed to go in this region except Saudi ARAMCO personnel's. Saudi government has kept it very secret but some military helicopters took pictures from air. And one of them he runs on internet here in Saudi Arabia. ..."

Now, before giving up your career in biology or paleontology, please check out this web page, titled "Archaeological Anomalies 2", and scroll down to the fourth image:

Yes, pictures ARE worth a thousand words... ;) Surprising, isn't it, what people will believe? Or maybe not.

Motorcycle polo -- I've actually played this (basket ball and sawed-off brooms). It's a great way to make enemies.

Full-Contact Baseball (I think it'd really liven up the game.)
A couple guys up in the Northeast have already invented snow-plow soccer. Two snow plows, a freshly-plowed street with high snow banks on either side, and a bowling ball. Knock the ball past your opponent's truck for a point. |

Tae Kwon Dollar Slots
Slot Car Baja Racing
Trivial Pursuit: The Diplomacy Edition
Celebrity Strip Poker
Sumo Jenga
Throwing-Star Tiddly Winks
Golfiards
Limbo Marathons
Sport Stacking Hockey (inspired by second photo here)
And I got an idea about a combination of large-formation sky diving and skeet shooting (by the sky divers), but can't think up a catchy name for it except "a bloody mess." Oh, and you know the old "three legged race" thing where two people have their ankles tied together? I'd suggest doing the same with thoroughbred race horses (a six-legged race?), but don't want to get PETA on my case. |
