List from an *Anti*-List

I love my reading lists and this one came from an unexpected place. The whole article is worth reading but I think I most want to focus on the books that the author wants kicked out of high schools.

Suggestions for Winter Olympics

Back in 2014, right before the Sochi Olympics, I did a list of suggested winter Olympic sports. I put those suggestions out, one by one, on Facebook but I didn't have them all collected anywhere. I have since found the word document that I used while brainstorming the list and I thought I'd put the suggestions here for posterity.

1. Paint ball on ice
2. Competitive polar bearing
3. Capture the flag
4. Ice sculpture racing
5. Snow fort construction
6. Winter bike commuting
7. Dog sledding (actual suggestion)
8. Getting a toddler dressed and into a car seat
9. Ice yachting
10. Snowshoe long jump
11. 4 X 100 Driveway shovel relay

12. Snow ball fight

Some of these are obviously jokes but there are some that I like quite a bit.
