Close to Home by John McPherson for March 25, 2018

The ski wrestling sounds great. It just might make the 2020 Olympics.

For once the IOC got it right. Who says they’re nothing but corrupt, incompetent opportunists?

You’d figure that John McPherson—who’s in Saratoga Springs NY—would give a shout-out to Codie Bascue from Whitehall NY (he was on the US men’s bobsled team for last month’s Winter Olympics).

Do you know how hard it would be to find twelve men named Bob qualified to be on the 12-man bobsled team? Well, maybe not that tough on 2nd thought after all…

I’d watch any of those before rhythmic gymnastics (yeah, I know summer).

I thought the first panel was team luge.

I told you the bribe wouldn’t work. We should have triple dog dared them.

Tongue lift – OW!

But they never had kendo, not even the Japanese have used it as a demonstration event, even though it meets all the requirements.
