“Guns and Snow and Ice”

I found a link to a journal/weblog run by a security guard at the Olympics, and he said something so funny I had tears coming out of my eyes.

We were thinking of other games that might be improved by the inclusion of guns -- the way Biathalon improved upon boring old cross-country skiing:

1.) Bobsled - A couple of sled mounted rifles and targets on the track. The expensive track-side seats would sure drop in price.

2.) Figure Skating - Michelle Kwan with a couple of six shooters would be dreamy. [I'd pay to hear Scott Hamilton say "Salchow! -- Pow! Pow!"]

3.) Curling - Give the opposing team a 12 gauge and two shells - Americans would start paying attention. You'd have to work around the divets.

You'll find the whole story in his archives... unfortunately, he doesn't have any permalinks, so search for "Guns and snow". Most of what I've seen on there is a good read.
