Best thing about the Olympics?

They're not until August but I have to ask this now, because I am jealous of the IOC and I want my own mini-Olympics and hope they aren't just a weak imitation.

    People competing to be the very best at what they do, the sheer athleticism.

    That and the whole international aspect, the sense of all these people from all these countries coming together for one big event (i guess a mini-Olympics could achieve something similar by giving each state a chance to showcase itself?)

    Whores! we want "poems that kill."
    Assassin poems, Poems that shoot
    guns. Poems that wrestle cops into alleys
    and take their weapons leaving them dead
    I thought it was jokes about the hosting country digging its own grave and the Olympic village being drowned in condoms

    Should have said understatement; would have been funnier.

    That would mean 50 teams, which would have to be narrowed down by event.

    would my own mini-Olympics need a village?

    Goddammit. These mini-Olympics are going to be incredibly expensive, and half the reason they exist is to boost American morale without great taxpayer burden.

    I cannot possibly hold these every year.

    So hold it every Olympic bye year?

    I wanted to hold the inaugural event in Denver in 2018, because doing odd years means I'm tempted to shoot for next year which is, given the size and scope of the event, unfeasible

    For once, or maybe twice, I was in my prime.
    Why does a fantasy have to be feasible?

    Touch the cow. Do it now.
    A certain degree of verisimilitude seems to be a requirement for Anonus' fantasies.

    It's just a fact

    I don't know

    It seems like more fun that way, on some level
