why isn't darts in the olympics?
Seb only wants beautiful people at his games

Imagine Ted Hankey or perhaps Cliff Lazarenko in tight spandex GB shirt and shorts. I'm trying not to.
I think its omission may actually relate to its status. Vaguely remember reading yonks back that Darts is basically viewed by the IOC as a pub game rather than a legitimate sport so the class war statement is more accurate than previously thought. This is why Snooker, Tiddlywinks, Shove Hapenny and Modern Drinkathlon can't get a look in either.
What I don't get is why footie squads can only contain 3 over 23's or, as the IOC's puts it, professional players, when the Tennis has the same mens and womens line ups from Wimbleydun, all but guaranteeing a gold for the Williams sistaz and Roger Fedora. Class war within a class war going on there.

Moose Boxing II

I thought Moose Boxing was the art of taking home a very drunk, very unattractive female that you don't intend to acknowledge again after the event. As this brings it perilously close to performing unnatural acts with horses I would move that Moose Boxing be folded into the Dressage and become an Olympic event immediately.

on your left, Aubrey Cunningham - Forbes, he's chosen a beautifully crafted light weight, forty two and half inch long tempered steel, French made Foil. His well toned athleticism highlighted by the brilliantly white tailor made kevlar uniform. His opponent in the gold medal event this evening, Ron Stubbs casually attired in loosely buttoned red nylon shirt and black Marks & Sparks slacks. He's gone for a four inch brass soft tip dart and a rolled up copy of the Daily Mail.
