WE LIKE SPORTS
Ladybug:
Nordic combined has always made less sense to me than biathlon does. I mean, I can see how they would think of putting skiing and shooting together, but cross-country skiing and ski jumping in the same sport… Well, I like watching it if we've got people in it who can do well, but it still doesn't make much sense.
But then again, there are a lot of Olympic sports that don't make much sense. Like skeleton. Sure, let's throw ourselves down an icy track, head-first, because it looks way more scary than going feet-first or, say, sitting inside of a bobsleigh, so of course it should be an Olympic event.
Patrick:
Which is funny 'cause wasn't it luge what killed a dude and all
Also it's not fun to watch unless it's potentially lethal, why do you think NASCAR is so huge in some places
Spluff:
I always figured that was because there was a sizable community of dickheads in those places.
Ladybug:
Well, yes, it was luge, but then they made the track a whole bunch shorter and added extra walls and padding before doing the actual races. Though I think the skeleton riders probably use a shorter track anyways, as I read somewhere that they don't get the same speed as the luge people do? I dunno, throwing yourself head-first down an icy track sounds like a really bad idea anyways.
Not that ski jumping doesn't sound like a bad idea either, but yeah. Ski jumping, and especially ski flying, is awesome.
…during practice last night. But it doesn't happen very often, and this guy ended up being relatively fine.

Fuck You Jace. Just, Fuck You.
