H.G.: "One of the excitements about luge is that it's a sport for the stupid."
Roy: "It is."

If luge is a sport for the stupid, I wonder what they think of the (aptly-named, IMHO) (returning Olympic) sport of skeleton. Luge. Head-first.

New It's a topic in their Forum
"What do you think about Skeleton? Is it madness, or the sport of kings?"

But that seems to be the only mention on their site. They may have mentioned it on the show, but I haven't watched 'em all yet.

The forum responses were mostly lame, though I liked this one:
"I figure the athletes that compete in skeleton are a sandwich short of a picnic. Either that, or they have nothing to lose. I mean would you stick your head on the bonnet of your car and set it on cruise control and just let it go? I don't think so."


On and on and on and on,
and on and on and on goes John.
