Just two bros, nuts to butts, at breakneck speeds.

    I’m surprised that even needed clarification. Like, we’re not watching a couple of red pandas in M1 Abrams playing water polo with telephone poles, what the fuck about that picture is baffling to you?

    My only question is how terrifying is it being the top in this scenario? Looks precarious at best.

    I’d imagine that when your forward velocity is that great, your desire to not become human luge paint is generally such that you can eat charcoal and produce only the finest of Tiffany cuff links. Not sure what that says about the Lego brick below you, but they made their choice.

    where do I begin? My father was a relentlessly self-improving boulangerie owner from Belgium with low grade narcolepsy and a penchant for buggery. My mother was a fifteen year old French prostitute named Chloe with webbed feet. My father would womanize, he would drink, he would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Some times he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy, the sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament. My childhood was typical, summers in Rangoon, luge lessons.

    Top: Ok, you know, that's making it really hard to concentrate.

    Bottom: Well if you would not bounce us around so much...

    I looked up the origins of the luge double and you're not too far from the truth!

    In luge, being the best is sort of just a height and weight distribution thing. I honestly think a corpse that's my same shape could win.

    The sport needs her. She's a once in a generation... shape.

    Alexander Skarsgard was great on SNL

    Jane Wickline has singlehandedly breathed new life into SNL for me. Previously it was Pete Davidson (RIP his career choices) that made me feel represented there. Made me excited to watch.

    Pete Davidson (RIP his career choices)

    What's he done? I haven't seen much from him since his comedy special a few years ago.

    And yeah, I've been loving Jane's stuff as well. Her songs can be kind of hit or miss but she's so great in general. I loved how she played off the reaction to the Trumpet mom in the recent sketch

    I had a friend who lived with a few dudes in a house, and I go over to her place and she's getting ready and one of her roommates is sitting in the kitchen eating a chicken breast and broccoli. We get to chatting, and he tells me he's going to Olympic trials for luge, and so obviously I ask how you get into that.

    He ends up telling me he ran and was successful at track, and he basically got poached, mainly because of his size and his running ability.

    So yeah. That's it.

    You start off with a bit of spooning and before you know it you are in the winter Olympics.

    The top guy is solidly connected to the shaft. Good for cornering.

    My best friends Brandon and Jonathan discovered they were pretty good at this while they were in the restroom at the Handy Down Bar and they're celebrating their 3 week anniversary next Friday! So, it DOES happen more often than you think.

    You know...that actually looks kinda gay if you ask me.

    Sometimes I think the real miracle is that some only-a-little-bit-gay and some not-even-noticably-gay events have finally been accepted into the Olympics.

    Edit: unless we stretch our imaginations to imagine that the ancient Greek origins of fit naked men wrestling in public might not have been terribly sexually charged, I guess.

    Luge is confusing enough. This is just moreso.

    Seriously. For both events, I feel like the skill curve starts at "try not to die" and just keeps climbing in degrees of "get better at not dying" and "point your feet in the right direction".

    I'm guessing there's a rule against a crotch cam, so the top can leave his head down?

    I watched a comedian say that you could force a guy onto one of those things and he could probably win an involuntary gold medal

    I'm fine with going fast on a sled being a sport. That's cool. But, it seems like something where it's only valid if everybody involved is actively doing something on the way down, not just being ballast.

    One person sledding makes sense. But, in this sport, the guy on the bottom can't possibly be anything but ballast, can he? He can't see anything, so he can't be steering or braking, right?

    Same with bobsled, the guy at the front is steering. Maybe the people in the back help with something, but they can't be too actively involved because they can't see.

    Maybe the guy on top looks and the guy on bottom steers, and the hard part is communication

    In bobsled, the other people at the back are important for the initial pushoff, since you're allowed a running start. And then I'm pretty sure everyone helps steer, based on what the guy in the front is doing/commands he gives.

    Granted, all my knowledge of bobsled comes from Cool Runnings, so take all that with a grain of salt
