| | Comments (0) | TrackBacks (0)
On FOX 17 Morning News Wednesday, we explored some reasons that West Michigan, not Chicago, should host the 2016 Summer Olympics.  Some of the best (and not-so-best) suggestions:

- Klompen Dancing Marathon
- Usain Bolt sprints in wooden shoes
- Lake Michigan swimming challenge: Michael Phelps vs. Jim Dreyer
- Long jumping replaced by Pier Jumping
- Olympic Village menu: Yesterdogs, Fifth Third Burgers, Olive Burgers, Wet Burritos, Sweetwater's Donuts, and more.  Welcome to America!
- Demonstration sport: Office chair racing
- Area developers looking for an excuse to build a velodrome

Any other suggestions? Comment below, or e-mail me.
