DRINK! ARSE! FECKIN CHRISTMAS!
I was reading this riveting article about competitive woodchopping and it got me thinking about all the dumb (amazing) sports in this beautiful world that just don't get the mainstream recognition they so obviously deserve. So lets celebtrate the best in unusual sports and sporting achievements.

Woodchopping
http://www.abc.net.au/news/2015-01-27/axeman-breaks-50yo-tasmanian-woodchopping-record-claims-50k/6048368


Woodchopping as a sport has been around for several hundred years and comprises of several different event types such as the double saw and the underhand but most of the pros go for Standing Block because that's where the big rewards are. In Tasmania world champion woodchopper David Foster is considered a hero and should have been knighted instead of that prat Prince Philip.

Shin Kicking is a combat sport from England (where else really). The idea is to kick your opponents in the shin until they yell "submission". Contemporary players tend to stuff hay into their socks because they are girly pussy boys.

Richard Nixon was the King of Shin Kicking.

lol wife-carr;ying is a curious sport bc the winners tend to win, since winning nets you the hottest (thinnest) wives, allowing you to win future competitions

but since your wife weighs less, you get less beer-prize

i think this is a fair balance to midget-marriers

Crossfit
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iqLjkhCNpMg


CrossFit is the principal strength and conditioning program for many police academies and tactical operations teams, military special operations units, champion martial artists, and hundreds of other retards who want to suffer crippling spinal or ankle injuries before they're 40 years old. Having been around for about 15 years, CrossFit is neither a sport because its boring, nor proper exercise because of the astronomical chance of injury. Rather, CrossFit mostly serves as a way for retarded gay babbies to destroy their bodies while they wait for next year's
