Sports That Didn't Catch On Like They Should Have


I love these stupid old postcards that show what sports people played in the past. How the hell did this not catch on? First of all you get a heavy helmet that restricts your vision and has a rusty copper tank of oxygen. Next you can't even wear a bathing suit while in the water because of the public attitudes of the day. Shoes AND socks? Bitch please! So if you are ever in danger from sea creatures (and you know of what I speak) you are hampered in your escape by having to drag a 400 pound wet woolen dress around with you as you try to claw your way to the surface. Next, to insure the balls don't float to the surface they will have to have the weight and consistency of cannon balls which that tiny mallet will in no way be able to send more than three feet away from you at any given time. That means about 1000 shots to get around the course and that isn't even taking into account the play of others. Just stupid time wasting. Where are the sea creatures to eat these idiots when I need them too? Sure, I go into the water for two seconds to retrieve a Frisbee and it is like buffet time at the Golden Dragon while these idiots are underwater for hours and are perfectly fine. I don't get it.

That is one bizarre find, my friend!

Since it looks like the postcard says "in the year 2,000," the "past" we're talking about here is only nine years ago, right? Didn't I see this on MTV's "Road Rules?"
