The Juiced Olympics

yeah, it's sad. I drink the kool-aid™ when it comes to certain sporting events. as a kid, I remember thedodgers-yankees world series in '77 & '78. in high school, I started to get into wimbledon {end of school year} + the usopen {beginning of school year}.

more recently, it's been the world cup + the winter olympics. I really got into this year's games in beijing. I could care less about the medal count or who might be underaged, but I'm just a sucker for the dramaturgical spectacle. Now, I feel a withdrawal coming on. it was like a 16-day party coming through the tv at all hours and now the party's over. bummer. it's like the end of the truman show.

so, in the vacuum, I was thinking of how a reality show could be created to quench the culture's thirst, no...lust for olympic-style competition and trainwrecks. why not have the juiced olympics? coke, speed, steroids, opiates, etc. fuck that pros versus joes shit on spike, pitting regular guys against has-been athletes. I wanna see the numbers on:

WR = World Record
OR = Olympic Record
JR = Juiced Record

How would Phelps do when competing against a guy whose blood has a street value?

Soooo....

Any sports events that are a part of your ritual?

Which events would you like to see in The Juiced Olympics

I just saw Gonzo + I bet HS Thompson would cover it.
