Let The Games Begin!
So now we’re into the Olympics, and it’s being held in an even-numbered year for the first time in a while. I like to watch the swimming events because we humans are built for the land, not the water.
We have no fins. We have no tails.
And I like to watch the “exposition sports” that many present-day Olympic events started as. So the discussions that I have read on the internet, on what would make a good exposition event in the Olympics, gave me the giggles so much that I guess I have to share a few here.
Top Ten Suggestions For 2028 Exposition Olympic Events
1. Grocery bagging
2. Cat bathing
3. One-handed diaper changing
4. Parallel parking
5. Fitted sheet folding
6. IKEA furniture assembling
7. Driveway pressure washing
8. Blister pack opening
9. Sock skating
10. Hamberder eating (illustrated below).
Please excuse the iconoclastic use of Da Vinci’s “Last Supper” as a backdrop. It gives the event a certain je ne sais quoi.
Speaking of the “Last Supper”, I find it interesting how freaked out the so called “Christians” are about the drag queens supposedly doing a parody of the “Last Supper” in the opening of the Olympic Games in Paris. They cry “sacrilege” and “groomers”, yet they seem to have forgotten the parodies done by the Simpsons, the Sopranos, Battlestar Galactica and many others.
They get so butt hurt (pardon the pun) about every damn thing! “The Last Supper” is a fictional depiction of a possibly fictional event by someone who wasn’t even around at the time of said event.
1Are those McDonald’s hamberders at the last supper? Sorry, had to ask.
2OK Half Empty, apologize for calling out something I do all the time with my right thumb typing.
3To get serious, I like the #1 exposition sport, grocery bagging. I consider it my first real job (actually 4th job) and started me on my almost 50 year career in marketing. I was pretty good at it and still try to impress when I bag my own groceries now. I’d compete in that. I think ringing groceries on the old mechanical cash registers would be a good addition to the list. I got promoted to that and got pretty fast and mostly accurate by the time I was 19. I could be in the Olympics.
Me too, Steve. I also started off as a bag boy, way back when they used to take your bags out to the car for you and pack your trunk. When packing a bag I was part boy, part octopus! And I tell you, the invention of plastic grocery bags ruined the fine art of bag packing.
Make it paper bags, and I’ll get in there and compete against anyone!
4Cheeseburders are not Kosher.
5Steve 3 – I’ll take parallel parking, folding fitted sheets, IKEA furniture, as long as I can have a drill to get all the holes in the right place!
6You must have forgotten the one sport magats win hands down every time… crying victimhood. Has anyone bothered to ask magats at what point in their lives did they choose to be “straight?”
7Haha thanks Half Empty! I was actually thinking of this. All require special uncanny skill. One more for list …
811. Couch humping
OT….America’s last known military war mass killer, Lt William Calley of My Lai massacre fame, had died.

9Canned Ass Cameron Bure tries to walk back her complaint about drag last supper and ames drumpf as Dionysus..,,.
Candace later edited the caption of her video. She wrote, “Since posting, many have tried to correct me saying it wasn’t about an interpretation of DaVinci’s The Last Supper, but a Greek god and the festival of Dionysus; who is a god of lust, insanity, religious ecstasy, ritual madnes etc.
10@TJ:
People in glass houses. We were so upset we got rid of the Indian on the butter box, the black woman on the syrup bottle, and the black dude on the rice packaging. We all take offense at different things. Look how much umbrage we take to anyone who denigrates Muslims. It’s not unreasonable for Christians, and people with less progressive, more traditional values, to be upset at what they saw, the satanic headless Marie Antoinette, the provocative drag queens crawling around, and that’s before we get to the ‘Last Supper’ depiction.
For people in their 40’s and up, all that was very abnormal, and not what they grew up seeing. Imagine those folks watching with their young kids or grandkids. We don’t see any problems with Satanic imagery, or what the right would consider to be deviancy, we’re more evolved, but you have to consider that others may not be so open minded.
