the geniuses at the ioc just dropped wrestling from the olympics effective 2020. not a huge wrestling fan, but that seems dumb, especially when modern pentathlon remains in the games.
It seems odd to drop an event that was likely contested at the original ancient Greek Olympics while retaining decidedly un-Greek events like canoe/kayak, Judo, and Taekwondo, let alone oddball sports like badminton and synchronized swimming. Zeus will be most vexed.
My brother in law went to music school with the Big Gay Ice Cream guy. We were at their house in Maine a few years ago when NPR did a story on the big gay ice cream truck. It had been many years but he recognized his gravelly big gay voice from the other room.
Also, Marls and Rob - you two look very cute in front of the unicorn.
i heard wraastlin is toast beginning in 2020. dagger. looks like i'll be pulling my 2-year old (girl) out of her wrestling camp this summer. and no more screaming, "SHOOT THE HALF!"
