New For 20XX!

Let's face it--despite an unprecedented number of slips, spills, crashes, and drug-busts, the 2006 Winter Olympics were a real snooze.

That's why the 42nd Floor has been asked by the International Winter Olympic Nominating Team (IWONT) to come up with new and exciting winter sports so interest in the world-uniting athletic events can get the (figurative) shot in the arm they so desperately need.

"How do I submit my idea to IWONT?" It's easy! Simply leave it here! IWONT has assured me that they will be visiting the 42nd Floor on a daily basis and will choose the best, brightest, flashiest, and most unconventional winter sports suggestions.

Here's mine!

Human Skee-Ball
Similar to the famous Ski Jump, Human Skee-Ball adds an entirely new element to the tired old sport. Human Skee-Ball consists of teams of eight skiers who shoot themselves one at a time off a ski-jump and into giant rings of varying sizes. The smaller the ring, the more points! Everyone loves playing skee-ball at arcades and midways. The human version of this already popular game will easily be the most accessible Winter Olympic event of 20XX! IWONT, vote for me!

Why not revive alpine rifling/skiing? I always thought that people hurtling down a mountainside should really have semi-automatic weapons to make things a little more interesting. Their game would need to be something that could fight back like bears or wolverines. Now that's entertainment.

If you think that sounds interesting, why not just go the whole nine yards... think "The Most Dangerous Game."

How about medals for most bones broken in a skiing accident?
