Underwater elephant polo comes to mind. Only thing that'd be difficult would be teaching the elephants how to breathe with scuba gear...

Challenge pissing.

Dolphin polo - more logical than elephants, but not as interesting.

Great white football. Much more interesting.

Funny "ha ha" or funny "strange"? Lion wrestling comes to mind.

This is my first post here so hello everyone.

Two real sports:

Chess Boxing. The two participants fight a round, play speed chess for a few minutes, then fight the next round.

Also there is extreme ironing. This involves ironing a shirt while hanging from a rope on the side of some tall structure.

But maybe I just watch too much TV.

Welcome to the forums MadMabel, don't be shy.

sadistikdreams

I was gonna say that.

Seriously though, the way I understand it, it's about making the ice smooth enough for the stone to travel, but not too smooth, so that it doesn't go past the target. I could be wrong.

Have you ever actually tried curling though? Holy crap what a stupidly hard sport. I have no idea how the first person actually manages to get the damn thing to stop in the middle. I can hit something that's already there, but making it stop? sheesh...

Thanks for posting MadMabel.

I've heard of extreme ironing, but not Chess Boxing. That's awesome.
-----Added 7/9/2008 at 09 : 12 : 14-----
I'm intrigued. What's the catch other than all participants must be transvestites?

I used to think it would e fun to play polo on bicycles with a golf ball and putters. Now I see it's becoming a real thing...

Urban Cycle Polo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I also think American football on ice skates on a frozen lake might be cool.

spindles

This has merit - you'd have to be wearing suits of armour for protection from the skates. This brings the falling through the ice and drowning heavily into play.

Okay, I will assume that you haven't been on a frozen lake much. It is a lot safer than it sounds if you use common sense. When I was seven I didn't have much of that, and I found the bottom of a frozen pond. Generally it is no problem.

Tirian

Around here we use them as parking lots for ice fishing tournaments. Plenty thick enough for all the football equipment imaginable.

Racewalking instantly came to mind!

With some funny background music, it's hilarious.

It's kinda fun checking out the old threads I had with the most responses. I wonder what it would take to turn one of our weird ideas into an olympic sport... Course I only say this since the Olympics were held in my town I suppose...

Dynamite fishing. Although it's actually real and does screw up the environment, you've gotta wonder who came up with the idea of just blowing it all up...

back in the old days in the meditereanean all fishermen used to use dynamite as a fishing tool. no one ever thought of the environment back then. ive heard stories from my late grandfather who used to be a fisherman in back the early 1900's till the 1970's. Lots of serious injuries and deaths came along with the stories

Curling is frigging hilarious. You can actually win an Olympic medal for speedy sweeping?

I like to watch curling. Of course, since I only watch it every 4 years, it's not like I get a chance to get tired of it or anything...

I always thought it's a shame they don't have full-contact golf.
It would make it much more interesting to watch on t.v.

There's an interesting movie aboot curling called "Men With Brooms". It stars the guy that played Mountie Benton Frasier, in "Due South".
