My Final Last Kick At The Winter Olympics Can

OK, here's another one: snow-shoveling.

Why not have Olympic snow-shoveling? It could be done in relay teams. All kinds of research money would be poured into new, improved, ergonomic snow shovels, lift technique, optimum size, weight, length, etc.

It would result in a better world.

Only problem -- we'd get the better snow shovels just as the last flake of snow succumbed to Al Gore's warming globe.

Snow shoveling -- something Canadians can really get behind.

All you need is gloves!
All you need is gloves!
All you need is gloves, gloves, glove is all you need.

And that's the way the snow Ball bounces.

My poll from December:

WHICH OF THE FOLLOWING SHOULD BE A SPORT IN THE WINTER OLYMPICS?

Pushing Smart Cars out of 3 Inches of Snow (35%)
Women's Ski Jump (29%)
Driveway Shoveling (19%)
Freestyle Snowmobiling (7%)

Maybe tomorrow you can write a blog post about how we need more smowmobiling sports in the Olympics?

Why not take some of the activities from the Arctic winter games? Or, at least, have snowshoeing races.

Frances, I didn't even know there were Arctic Winter Games.

How did I miss snowshoeing -- it's so obvious!

RkBall - you really have to research those games. They are waaay cool.
