I'm in favor of adding these....7 sounds like an event I could do. Though I wonder if ice water would be considered a performance enhancing substance for it.
Note: There's no good evidence I'm not a moron. Kepp this in mind while reading the above.

I have a few others I enjoy also.



Sky Gazing (after you slip and fall)

The Salt and Ash Toss ( to prevent the former)

The Sweep Lift and Chuck (snow shoveling at a cardiac activity rate)

Cabin Fever Avoidance (mostly drugs and alcohol consumptions)

Snickering at SUVs in the Ditch (self explanatory)

Snow Plow Dogging ( it may be slow, but it's safe)

Snow Plow Driver Gesticulation (after he has plowed in what you just shoveled and covered you in the muddy salty sludge from the road)

Hibernating ( to avoid all of the above)

How about snowmobile diving? (Sponsored by Arctic Cat, in an effort to purify the gene pool.)

Number 9 sounds like fun. :)

My cousin and I used to rent a small car, find a big empty, icy parking lot where he lives and do our own sporting events. We'd take turns driving straight down the middle of the lot and then yank the e-brake while turning the wheel on direction. Spinning is fun. Then we'd return the car. No sense in burning out the brakes of our own cars. :D Ahh rentals and donuts in the winter nights. Those were the days.

Right D., Mainers play snowmobile diving quite a bit, they've also made a good showing in this year's Truck diving competition.

In all seriousness this has resulted in at least one death recently. People really need to be aware when driving out onto the ice.

I watched the news reports last night for this area.
For heaven sake folks, it was 16 degrees C, you knew your driveway was clear of ice and that there was a river running down it, so what the heck where you thinking when you drove your van/sled out on the lake? Sure the fishing huts don't have to be off the ice until Wed. but get a clue.

These are all preventable dilemmas, but it happens every spring.

I love it when I have to control my van in an ice spin, can you say, "adrenaline junky?"
