On amore serious note, I was messaging back and forth with one of the--okay, THEE--premier hotness of this site, and she told me about Snowboard Cross. I watched the final, and it was SO cool! And it just proves, we Americans invent more non-vital/non-important stuff than anybody. Still, it IS cool.
The weird part is it reminds me of a recurring dream I have had over the years (not of the hottie, those are recent!). I'm at a cross between a theme park and a city tunnel system used for drainage or storage, depending on the dream. And some times I use a skateboard or scooter, other times I am running. But the object is to race through a system of tunnel/half-pipe stuff, part above ground, part underground. Very weird. And so, i can say I sort of "invented" Snowboard Cross!
