Olympic Proposal
By: T.R. Slyder, TRSlyder@yahoo.com
How awesome would it be if we could combine the Special Olympics with the regular Olympics just for one relay race? Imagine Carl Lewis running the first leg, handing it off to Warren from Something About Mary, who then hands off to Michael Johnson, who passes the baton to Corky for the anchor leg? Maybe we could have a disabled Olympian thrown in there for good measure.
Another high-brow idea: Do they have synchronized swimming and diving in the Special Olympics? I wouldn't mind seeing a re re paired up with a non-re re in synchronized swimming or diving either. But if they did medal, I think it would be in poor taste if the non-Special competitor told his teammate that the medal was a chocolate wrapped in foil.
