New sport to get started

70,256 5,366 June 28, 2024 at 01:41 PM in Sporting Goods
laugh out loud Ok I had to hurry and mow the yard quickly as it was just starting to rain and it's predicted to rain pretty much all throug the night. While zipping around the yard cutting and trying to still get close to trees and things to avoid also having to get out the trimmer.. while also avoiding being knocked off the mower by branches... and still going pretty fast I thought.. I can see people doing speed mowing and being rated on time, closeness of cut to objects and neatness. Big Grin



Think people would watch and rate that?


What other odd things could be made into a sport.
I mean.. heck.. video games are also a sport..

I wonder if I could get this idea to catch on amongst the teenagers in my neighborhood and trick them Tom Sawyer style into mowing my lawn for free? It's POWERFUL fun!

You must mow as much grass as you can in 15 minutes while dodging running dogs, flying tennis balls, and the frogs on unicycles. woot

MLV will throw water balloons at you. If you catch one you get an extra 5 minutes to complete the yard. If you get hit by one, you'll have to drive blindfolded for 20 seconds. Bonus points for straight lines!

Also: I assume probably none of these frogs are particularly good at riding a unicycle.

Are you? I think Vorlon might have pretty good balance.

Given his age, I don't know how far MLV could actually throw a water balloon... he might have to get pretty close to the contestants on his rascal in order to actually hit them...
