I would be a gold metal winner with anything to do with Cheese. New ways to cook with it, new disserts, new sandwiches, and new ways to hide it so other mice won’t find my stash. Hands down I am a cheese gold metal winner. I think it is better than ice cream, and would rather have cheese with whip cream than almost any other food. I can’t think of a day in months I have not treated myself to at least one slice. When my wife was gone for two weeks I lived on Cheese sandwiches, cheese omelets, Sausage and cheese snacks, and yes I went and bought a big container of Cool Whip to mix with my cubed cheese for desert. I ate like a “King Among the Rats”.
I could also win a metal for short cuts. I will take different roads to often visited locations and time them as well as check the mileage. When alone this is never a problem, but when Mrs. Cncracer is with me I will first get a funny look as I whip the little red sport car down a dirt road, dodging pot holes and fighting the dust which seems determined not to let me pass this way. Than I get the "Where in the h____ are you going". I feel just like that Mrs. Todd character in Stevens King’s short story “Mrs. Todd's Short Cuts”. It is always a great adventure, but if I had to go up against Mrs. Todd I am afraid I would only bring home a silver metal. On second thought I think she may still be in a different time dimension and I might not have to slip in and out of time warps. I might get gold there too unless Mrs. Cncracer is a judge.
This is a team event.....the participants have to keep finding acceptable excuses to putting off doing a task that they all know needs to be done......such as mowing the lawn the first sunny week end in three weeks, or emptying the cats litter box. The opposing team has the same task.....the judges can disqualify based on "repetition" or "not acceptable no matter the circumstances".
That was tried in the 1980 Olympics. It was canceled when nobody showed up for the start of the event for 2 days.
Wow what an incredible bunch of olypians we have here!!!!
pocono...I must agree about the trophy for karla!!! charley...I loved your answer!!! Too funny!!! elston...you have quite an assortment of competitions that I could fair very well in...particularly the quick clean up relay and the food competition...create a dish. SR and miss martha....I would definitely place well in the multi tasking / juggling / hit the floor running competitions. NMS...holding down the sofa...LOL!!! I probably wouldn't do very good there but it would be a fun competition!!! BTW...the klutz crown is now yours again!!! Lacey...I could give you a run for your money on the closet organizing competition.
If there are competitions for list making, knowing where everything is (including but not limited to a missing sock, a particular toy, hubbies military stuff, a lost hairband, all bills and papers of importance...etc), and ice tea drinking I will probably recieve a gold for them.
As of this moment I believe I would be a contender for the gold medal in the event:
"Getting to the bathroom on crutches while avoiding 3 cats on catnip and 2 dogs who want to go outside!"
The object is to get around the furniture and down the hall to the bathroom without hitting or stepping on 5 animals running wild and without falling over.

Oh, you see for me that would be the "Stay alive while moving" event. Try dodging about 200 boxes, an insane cat, the bird who wants out of his cage and the brain going "Where am I going to put the darn bookcases?????"
I win the gold in this event........Ok, back to un-packing as I have now been a Florida resident for oh.........27 hours.
Well since there is an drinking coffee competition, I think I have a good chance in the drinking Mountain Dew competition, especially the strawberry kind they came out with this summer. I did good enough at the trials to qualify, but I'm worried about my competition from other countries. I have suspected some illegal doping going on, but with pride, I can say that I am a clean competitor.
