So I jump ship in Hong Kong and make my way over to Tibet, and I get on as a looper at a course over in the Himalayas. A looper, you know, a caddy, a looper, a jock. So, I tell them I'm a pro jock, and who do you think they give me? The Dalai Lama, himself. Twelfth son of the Lama. The flowing robes, the grace, bald... striking. So, I'm on the first tee with him. I give him the driver. He hauls off and whacks one - big hitter, the Lama - long, into a ten-thousand foot crevasse, right at the base of this glacier. Do you know what the Lama says? Gunga galunga... gunga, gunga-galunga. So we finish the eighteenth and he's gonna stiff me. And I say, "Hey, Lama, hey, how about a little something, you know, for the effort, you know." And he says, "Oh, uh, there won't be any money, but when you die, on your deathbed, you will receive total consciousness." So I got that goin' for me, which is nice.

Top 3 Summer Olympic "sports" that suck

2008-08-14T06:53:00.000-07:00

There is a long list of so-called sport in the Olympics that aren't even really sports. I'm not saying they don't require skills or some athletic ability, just that they do not belong in the Olympics. Any "sport" that has judges for "artistic impression" or form needs to go away!

My choices:

3. synchronized swimming/diving
2. rhythmic gymnastics of any kind
1. dressage.
