Special Olympics and the St. Valentine‘s Day Massacre
The Special Olympics… what exactly are the Special Olympics. It’s supposed to be an athletic gathering for the “mentally retarded” persons nationwide. Now they’re expanding it to the Winter Games style events. Yeah, skiing is exactly what these kids need to be doing. What, you trying to Sonny Bono-ize them? Damned, I’ve heard of 86ing a plan, but 150 million participant strong program? Anyway…
So I was thinking (which I’m prone to do on downtime at “work”) about the Special Olympics. And I got to thinking about how other sports and athletes are. These are possible the most humble of any of them. They train their asses off all year to run a race, or participate in this event or that event. And little, to no one comes out to support them (at least around here). Of course that may have to do with the parking. What, are all of the spaces handicapped? So, you park across the street.
Don’t treat this any different than any other sporting event though. Go there early, tailgate, cook out, drink beer in the parking lot. Drink yourself retarded, that way you are on the same playing field as the athletes. Set up a tent, and chill in the shade it provides for the event. Hell, what do they care, they’re thinking about their Fruit Loops (refer to my previous rant). These kids love attention. They want you there to cheer them on. Hell, take booze in with you in a Dixie cup. Sit in your shade and cheer on your favorite athlete. Take your buddies like you would to a football game, make bets, it’s all in fun. That said, let me break down some of the stuff I’ve said.
Bet on the races. The thing is, you can’t do like you would at a normal race (like a horse race, dog race, whatever). You can’t go down to the stable, holding pen, whatever you want to call it, and inspect them. “Ooh… look at number 5, he’s shitting in the corner, that’s got to be good. Put me down for $5 on him.” Hell no, that’s a disadvantage in these games. “Ooh… he’s shitting in the corner… he didn’t even take his pants down. Look at that fucking bulge. No way I’m taking him in the third.” You also can’t assume all of them will finish or even start. You’ve got 35 kids crammed into 4 lanes. (Hey, there are only so many events they can do there.) You don’t know if they’re going to take off running their 2 minute 100 yard dash, or if they’re going to stand there and hug the starter. You also can’t tell if they have 2 left feet and if they’re going to cause the “big one” as they like to refer to it in NASCAR (yeah, another subject for a different day). Hell, some of them kids didn’t even know they were competing. They showed up in their blue jeans and tennis shoes and they got put in there because Sally Shitpants has diarrhea. It’s unpredictable like that. And that’s the beauty of betting. There are no odds, you just pick a guy and what you see is what you get.
Hell, you yourself can change the outcome of the whole race. Go along the race course and cheer for your guy’s opponents. (I know, you’ll understand in a minute though.) Whatever you do, don’t cheer for your guy. Remember, retards are attention whores. They love attention. You go and yell “Go Timmy Two Toes… come on 35, you can do it.” That’s not going to propel them towards the finish line. Noooo… not hardly. What are they going to do when you cheer for them? “Hey, who sed’ dat‘? Ohh… haaaay… (waving of course with the one arm extended waaaay overhead). How are you today…” Hell, by this point, they’ve stopped running entirely, and are making their way towards you to talk to you, or hug you, spit on you, something like that. Your guy’s gonna run right the fuck past them, and onto victory lane. “Winner by a chest (cause you know they run like a retarded monkey on crack rock) #14 Little Billy Brain-dead…”
And for them not having a lot of events. Umm… can you blame the people putting these events together for limiting it to basic skills events? Can you see them trying to have the hammer throw or shot put or javelin or something like that. These little fuckers are already emotional enough. Hell, they’ll cry because they farted and more than 3 people hear it. You think I want these bi-polar bastards around anything sharp, heavy, or shaped like a ball? HELL NO! You know what the odds of dying are? About 3 to 1. Just imagine, one of these little turds get all ornery because someone takes their pudding pack. They pick up the nearest thing to them, which just happens to be an 8 foot javelin pole. Well, they decide it’s a good idea to go ram this thing up the guy that took said pudding pack’s asshole. Pretty soon, you’ve recreated St. Valentine’s Day Massacre. You’ve got fucking 8 lb. shot put balls being hurtled at your face at a whopping 7 mph. (still, this shit’s going to hurt, especially when Mikey “I pissed my pants” McFarland is tugging at your wrists and wanting you to give him a hug). Jimmy Cracks Corn is chasing anyone that’s got on red (because he doesn’t like red) with a bow and arrow trying to shoot them for wearing it (fucking archery tent). Pretty soon, it’s bedlam, and you’re right in the middle of it. It’s like the Holocaust, except it’s not the extermination of a race, it’s the extermination of inbreeders by other inbreeders.
Feel free to leave me any comments in the comments section. I really don’t give a damned if you like it or agree with it, or not. The religious right will tell me that I’m going to hell. Well, that’s ok I suppose. I’ve sort of accepted that, and I’m prepared. I bought my short-bus I’ll be driving. I stole a retard’s crash helmet to wear. And I bought a super soaker for my co-pilot to cool us down with. Fuck off…
