And maybe it's the engineer/mechanic upbringing I had, but all the events that need judging for qualifying, not quantifying, sure they're pretty to watch, but if it's not the fastest, most accurate, then it's like comparing DaVinci and VanGogh, arguing who's better.<br /><br />WV: comano; Heh, I think it's missing a few letters, shouldn't it be "Commando"?Mattexianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09364636677279037964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36435530.post-33533139449722044762010-02-26T11:38:11.517-06:002010-02-26T11:38:11.517-06:00Let's not discriminate against our Muslim bret...Let's not discriminate against our Muslim brethren and allow RPG's and IED's to be used in the Biathlon.Bawbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10194337224433517477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36435530.post-38822074404787176722010-02-25T21:24:28.598-06:002010-02-25T21:24:28.598-06:00Thanks NorthBridge.

(Mine is first, of course, followed by Sipsey Street Irregulars.) I commented on the same subject last week. For the curious, http://iowapatriots.blogspot.com/2010/02/winter-olympics.html I even wrote that I thought that the biathlon would be cooler with M1's or M1A's at 300 meters and iron sight. Curling had to have started as a drinking game. Can't think of any other way that I'd think to chase rocks on a frozen lake with a broom. After seeing that a few of the women curlers are good looking gals, I can't help but think that bikinis would really increase the fan base. And you're right, guns would improve this sport. Rock doesn't stop where you want it...shoot it into submission!

That was AWESOME. Some guys named McKenzie took the gold and silver in both events. Homer Simpson came in a distance third with the bronze.
