I suggested the addition of pogo stick. Steve Malley immediately came up with a list of pogo stick events: "single pogo, team pogo, triple-bounce for height and again for distance, single-bounce the same way, perhaps even a sort of pogo-obstacle course!"Lana Gramlich suggested bungee jumping....(Cool, but really scary to me--no heights, please!)
Shauna Roberts suggested cat herding--it "would require athletes with speed, balance, and agility." (Claw-proof uniforms, too...that probably would be the most challenging Game of all.)
Bzzzt! (Light bulb above head) Faithful readers, what are your ideas for alternative Olympic sports?

My favorite remains... DODGEBALL!
Love that pogo-pic!
Chess, of course. Scrabble. Chinese checkers, Monopoly.
I had one of those 24-hours bugs yesterday so about all I could do was veg and watch some of the daytime coverage which includes some of the less exciting sports such as table tennis.
I really kept waiting for dodgeball to come up.
Charles has some good ideas, too, but I think it might be Scrabulous that made it to Olympic competition today, or Wii sports.
Googling. The judges could ask an obscure question, and the athletes would be judged on accuracy of answer, speed of finding the answer, and elegance of search strategy.
I would SO watch your Olympics!!!
