So, you're telling me there is a chance?

Back in college a few of us came up with a ludicrous idea that we should try to find a team sport in which we would qualify for the Olympics. We used some very important criteria to narrow down what sport we would choose.

1) We can drink beer while doing it.

OK, that pretty much was the criteria. Now I am going point out that we were completely naive about how much work and dedication that it would take to become proficient at a sport we have never tried more or less become world class. This plan was obviously hatched while keeping criteria 1 satisfied.


Our pick: Curling.












Why? Why not.

Let me break the decision down for you:

a) Involves ice. Ice keeps beer cold (no need for a bulky cooler)

b) Involves throwing/pushing rocks. Who hasn't thrown shit when they are drinking.

c) Involves sweeping. Sweeping is like mopping, and who hasn't had to mop up some drunken accident during a massive kegger at some point in their life. Also, we generally had to mop up after an inevitable water fight would break out from the spray hose attachment on our island sink.

d) Involves Canadians, eh? Canadians dominate curling, but more importantly they also brew great beer.

The only possible problem I see with this scenario it that it is very hard to run on ice while drunk (trust me I know).
