Come See The Silly Sports!

tugofwar.jpgWe are but a month away from The World Games. What are The World Games, you ask? They're essentially a yearly audition for the Olympics by all the goofy sports that really would like to make it to the real games.

There are some fun ones too. You have Parachuting, which of course will never make it past the drug screening. Then there's Dancesport, which has different divisions of Standard, Latin and Rock n' Roll. Don't forget Tug of War, Orienteering, Casting and something called "Korfball." (Apparently it's like soccer with softball and basketball and tight shorts.) And we're still a little weirded out by this thing called "Fistball."
