In the Name of Sport

February 23, 2010 By Emme Rogers 3 Comments

I’ve never liked being left on the side lines.  I like to be in the game.

This is one of the many reasons why I am not an arm chair athlete and admittedly have not watched much of the Olympics on TV.  So what have been up to instead?  Well, competing, of course.

What?  You haven’t heard of me?  Which sport am I in?  No worries, I take absolutely no offence, as you see I’m in one of the experimental sports.  They are doing a soft launch of it this year with just two athletes – myself and hummingbird604.  And as we are all about inclusion are sporting events extends over both the Olympic and the Paralympic Games.

So what’s the sport?  Well, really its a long standing Olympic tradition played undercover. Yes, that’s right, the hummingbird and I are competing for whom can get the most Olympic dates. And NO, not, as others have suggested, the most Olympic shags. Neither, the hummingbird or I are tarts.  Simply, the most Olympic dates.

So far I am in the lead at 5 -3, despite twitter betting against me.  So whats the story on my dates?

  • A Swede enjoyed over a glass of wine.
  • A good, old American boy picked up our town’s latest meat market, the Canada Line.
Olympic Dates 2 & 3 (Yes, they happened at the same time. I’m not a girl that wastes time.)
  • A lonely Swiss man eating a meal alone.
  • Two drunken snowboarders, picked up in unison, at 4 AM on Grouse Mountain. (there is actually video on this one, I just need to find it for all of you voyeurs)
Olympic Date 4 wasted absolutely no time.

As for date number 6?  I am hoping it will be with this handsome Saxon.  Only problem is that he is currently MIA.

Have you seen my fella?

So my dear hummingbird?  Let’s hear the dirt on your 3 dates!

    Oh, I’ll give YOU the dirt, but I ain’t publishing the deets on the lovely gents who have been kind enough to help me out with this olympic sport 😉

    (or maybe, just maybe, I *might* publish my dates!)

    Chicken!!! I’m even willing to publish video. And how the Hell did you get up to 7??? Apparently I’ve spent too many nights searching and pining after Saxel. Must get back in the game.

    […] Cultural Olympiad was a tremendous amount of fun. I even hosted my own Olympic Challenge with Vancouver blogger and traveler Hummingbird604 to see who could get the most Olympic dates.  I […]

Sample the “Drink Me” Potion at Your Own Risk

Don't try to find a beginning or an end to this site, because there's not one. That will only cause you frustration and I don't have the money for your therapy bills. Mine are already expensive enough.
