Olympic Events That I Would Dominate IF They Were Olympic Events

Here's the link-up if you want to participate in the fun.

Ok, so the Olympics are well underway and the USA seems to be doing well so far. Now, we all know that the only Olympic event that would be remotely possible for me to join is... soccer, of course! But I'm sure even that is never going to happen. ... -sigh-


However, now is not the time to bemoan my sadly lacking skills, but to celebrate the ones that I do posses. This idea from
http://www.25inmy25th.blogspot.com/ sounded like quite a lot of fun, so I linked up.


Here they are. My list of the Olympic events that I would totally dominate... if only they were Olympic events. And who knows? Maybe someday... they will be. :P

Making the Leaning Tower of Pisa... out of supper dishes

I'm not sure if this was my work, or if it was one of my sister's.
She's pretty good too jsyk. But it gives you an idea...

Yep, they should totally make this an Olympic event. Because I would win! I have a huge family and I don't like stopping my dish washing to put away dishes, so I just carefully stack according to the laws of physics and leave an epic masterpiece. Of course, if the person who comes along to put the dishes away has never had the blessing of understanding the laws of physics... uhmm... well anyway... It was good while it lasted.

Drinking way too much milk

Yummmmm...

I'll admit it. I drink a lot of milk. Like, we'll be out for a few days, and when we finally get more... I go crazy. I open it, and start drinking away. Then in the evening, I usually notice that about half of a gallon is gone and I'm pretty sure that I'm the only one who's touched it so far. ...Ooops. And I could do much worse. Hey, cut me some slack, that's what happens when I'm restraining myself.

Winnie the Pooh impressions

Oh bother...

What a classic :P

Don't laugh. I'm a natural. I could beat Sterling Holloway any day. Oh wait... He was the original... Well, I'm not too bad at it if I do say so myself. A little work, and I might be able to pull it off. Maybe. If not, there's always Eeyore... "Thanks for noticing..." 

Accidentally breaking sunglasses

I love wearing sunglasses :)

Who knew that this could be a talent? But I've sure got it. ...Now, I realize that this couldn't be judged fairly at all. I mean, how could you tell if it was accidental or accidentally on purpose? Nevertheless, I'm constantly having to buy a new pair of sunglasses because I broke my latest ones. Oh well...

Quoting movies

Megamind

I do this quite a lot, if only to myself. If I see a good movie, it's likely there's some sweet quotes I'll want to remember. And it's so much fun to randomly quote something... especially when people know what it's from, which isn't very often come to think of it.


..."What's the plan?"
"Well, it mostly involves not dying..."
"I like that plan!"

Hay Baling

Hay baling = war wounds

Why not? This year I helped bale hay for the first time ever. But... I quickly found out that I'm pretty beast at it. :P ...So, I could hold my own in this competition. Just remember, you've gotta stack it five bales high...

Rapidly growing facial hair to look scary

I think that took about a week to grow...

So call me crazy. But I can grow facial hair pretty quickly if I set my mind to it... ;P And the fact that I have dark hair and am wearing black... well, I look like I could be the bad guy in the movie. I mean, my eyes are boring through your soul right now. ...However, no one seemed to appreciate it, so I shaved. It does feel much better I'll admit. Maybe I wouldn't get the gold for this fake event, but c'mon, I think I have a fighting chance.




Alright, let's face it. I'm sure somebody would be able to beat me in each of these randomly crazy events. But, hey, I'm the best I know at each of these things, so that should count for something, right? Maybe I'd get at least one gold medal... IF ONLY...



By the way, this is officially my 50th post ever! Who else feels like celebrating?!
