What would your made up Olympic sport be?

Mine would be: Carrying 2 six packs of beer and a phone through 4 rooms, opening and closing 2 doors along the way, turning on and off 3 light switches and placing them safely in the fridge in 15 seconds flat without incident. I've had years of training.

Folding and organising laundry.

Starting with basics then moving on to more complex items such as suits and gowns and dresses, even onesies and oodies.

To be judged by multiple judges by speed and accuracy/precision and have a scoring system aggregated like ice skating.

How do you go with a fitted sheet?

[–] Duenan@aussie.zone 6 points 4 months ago

That could also be something on itself.

Bed making could be a division or the final event for the gold.

Last man standing rules?

Throwing rocks at cars that don't indicate with points awarded by how much the repairs add up to.

What about cunts who stick in the right lane going under the speed limit? Would you be interested in competing in that event?

How do you win the Gold?

Plastic container bottoms and lid matching. Each competitor gets a tub of containers, and has to match them up the fastest and there would be some decoys in there that have no match. Winner measured by speed and accuracy.

Omg. That's genius. Extra points for "burping".

Tag. Not laser tag, just tag.

Or maybe British Bulldog, that game is brutal.

[–] Catfish@aussie.zone 2 points 4 months ago

I accidentally got British Bulldog banned at Primary school.
