Okienoodling: Think you can fish?

[CoventryCat86]

I dunno George, just as an experiment, I stopped in at a local sports bar today just to see what they had on the big screens.

Sure enough, they had six screens on with all different things. Here's the list:
#1 - Skydiving without parachutes
#2 - Lawn Dart catching
#3 - Jumping out of moving cars
#4 - Javelin catching
#5 - Motorcycle surfing
#6 - Sure enough, much to my surprise OKIENOODLING was on screen #6

I'll be a sonofabeech, I couldn't believe my eyes. I suppose any dumbass activity qualifies for a "sport" these days.

but it turns out that I was right

Ole Scotty's never wrong you know.....
I didn't know that just because something was mentioned on the ESPN website, that automatically meant it was a "sport"

I guess I need to get out more...........

Damn it, CC - I've got to go where you go... I went to my local pub, traveling humidor in hand, ready to stake out my table for the upcoming Okienoodling tournament, and here's my story (sad as it is)....

So I'm looking at the TV's in the bar - Sox/cubs game on one screen, some kind of golf match on another, I think there was a rerun of a boxing match on another, Babe Winkleman was in Canada fishing for Muskie's on another (man there were some big ones!!!), some weird auto racing on another... On and on, but no okienoodling qualifying - no okienoodling playoffs - no okienoodling nothing... So I said, "WTF". The bartender gave me a quizzical look, like I was some kind of idiot... I told him - there is a sport called Okienoodling - SFG says so!!! After a rather lengthy description of what Okienoodling is, he said, in a mean, condescending way "I don't give a s@#$ about Okienoodling. I don't doubt that there is such a thing on TV. There are all kinds of dumbass things on TV - especially since the advent of satellite!!! I'm not taking the Sox/Cubs series off the TV's for you to watch such Bulls@#$" I said, "You don't understand - it's a sport!!! And from what I understand, it's quite popular." He told me to drink up and get the f@#$ out!!! What a mean, mean man... I refuse to tip the BASTID - that'll fix him!!!

Seriouly, I think we need to address this with the tavern owners - maybe some kind of letter writing campaign, or phone calls, e-mails, SOMETHING. They should not be allowed to deprive us the enjoyment of watching an Okienoodling tournament, enjoy our favorite malt beverage and a fine cigar - it's just not right!!! I'm admittedly an okienoodling newbie, that's for sure - hell, I didn't even know it was a sport until SFG brought it to my attention!!! But, hey - if ESPN considers it a sport, and I'm in a sports bar, that tournament better be on TV, that's all I got to say!!!!

Topped for an update...

Any word on the outcome of the Okienoodling tourney??? I'm waiting with baited breath!!!

Scotty, would you get on this please! You've been so busy posting so much other useless crap the Okienoodling Tourney update has fallen behind....

Hex - can you please make Scotty the one and only Okienoodling mod so that this doesn't fall so far behind in the future... Thanks!

I'm new to to the forum as you might have guessed but this has got to be one of the funniest threads I've read in a good long time.

Please - don't do that... You'll only encourage him... Scotty likes the limelight....
