Pick one of the following sports which is not in the Olympics:
1. BMX racing
2. Taekwondo, (kick boxing)
3. Synchronized Diving
4. Air Hockey
5. Kayak, flat water
Note: We have now heard that baseball and softball will not be in the 2012 Olympics. What we have not heard about are the sports that will be included:
New Olympic Sports for Summer, 2012.
1. WII. Competitors compete against one another, individually and in teams, in the Mario Olympics. Granted, it is not all that athletic, but the facial expressions of the participants will make for great TV.
2. Lawn Darts. Note to Olympic committee–do not allow the Cuban kickboxer, who kicked the referee in the face after being disqualified, to transfer to this new sport!
3. Race walking. You know–those people you see at the park who are walking funny with their IPods and funny arm movements–walk fast around a track. Oh wait…that is already in the Olympics, sans IPods. My bad.
4. Text Speed Messaging. This narrowly beat out Air Guitar. I still want to see the 17-year old kid from Rochester, MN, who is getting endorsement deals because he is the Air Guitar champ with his 4,000 finger movements in like three minutes. But more people know how to text message than play air guitar, so it will have more viewers.
5. Segway Obstacle Course Driving. Seriously, can you imagine anything more fun? Plus it would be good for America, since Segway needs the PR. I could be on that team.
Answer: Air Hockey is NOT a sport. Yet.

If we’re going to do something with Segways in the Olympics, I propose Segway dodging.
Even better, Wally! Good one.
I had an idea, GL, that you planned to enter the text speed messaging.
I picked the Air Hockey since BMX is in now and gathering speed. I suppose that beats race walking.
Hi Robyn…funny, I had YOU picked forBMX racing through the beautiful countryside of New York, no?
I’d like to see Web surfing surfing, where you check out your favorite sites on your PDA on a surfboard.
web surfing surfing…priceless…and I thought it was dangerous to check my IPhone while driving??!!
