Weird, what some people class as sports

[Pandaboy]

I was just watching random youtube videos and came across this :


Speedstacking


Anyone got any other weird sports they know of?

..yep...any sport with the prefix 'armchair'....trust me, for years I was a world champion in 'armchair this...armchair that...'

What about Bog snorkling then? Seems to be quite big in the fenlands????

 

[on the road]

would you believe, some people even class golf as sport

 

[Steve Austin]

Isn't Golf a perfect way to destroy a perfectly good walk

Yea, but check out the five year old who can do it in 14.85 seconds on primtetime US TV. Respect.

Oi! I've competed in the World Championships, albeit back in the early 1990s.

And jolly good fun it was too.

Bog snorkling, shin kicking, cheese rolling. Anyone read True Brits? Can't remember the authors name. Think is was somebody Dascher. Highly funny and recommended.

Cheese rolling is definitely a sport!

A sport I've always wanted to try, but never had the bottle for

When I worked in Painswick one of my colleagues did it. Despite a full warm up (six pints of scrumpy) I think he may have cracked a rib and was definitely in a lot of pain

As is dwile flonking:

Both make more sense to me than most professional "sport".

Yeah, 22 grown blokes kicking a pigs bladder round a lawn for 90 minutes, thousands of idiots sorry people fans paying hundreds of pounds to watch, not to mention paying exhorbitant sums for 'replica' jerseys. Then a good few hundred thousand lemmings fans will stand in pubs watching it on telly, and scream at the ref for a bad decision - as if he can hear them?

Strangely, spliff rolling never caught on fire.
