AUGUST WHIMSY: THE FUTURE OF SPORT IS WHATEVER THIS IS

PrintWe have the superflu, you might have heard, and are whiling away our days of guest room quarantine by determining the future of sport, to tide us over until FutureSport becomes reality. And though we had never heard of "low impact rebound sport shoes" until we saw this unspeakably jaunty video, we think we've found the future ... today:
"You can use them indoors, or outdoors on paved roads, dirt paths, grass, sidewalks, at the beach or even on snow." All right, those last two are sort of hard to believe, but the ingredients for a new American Pastime are here: Ladies! Bouncing! One thickbro graciously allowed to participate and equally graciously kinda hidden at the back of the formation so you can't really tell he's not all that flexible! All that's missing is the addition of deadly weapons that would make Kangoo Fight the world's most formidable contact sport. We're envisioning a five-event competition, like rhythmic gymnastics, featuring bullwhips, morningstars, flaming torches, a tire run, and single combat on a giant trampoline. The undisputed champion is the last bro or chickbro standing with both ACLs intact.

was supposed to include few years old joke about alligator/crocodile on the media guide but I posted too soon and just came across as snarky instead

I mean, who cares that it’s a flimsy pretext to post it?…

It was as if thousands of ACLs suddenly cried out in terror, and were suddenly silenced.
Of course, all those ACLs are only alleged to exist.

Was anybody else disconcerted by how the video and "Billie Jean" both seem to have been
sped up just a little bit? It was a little disorienting, kind of like what I would imagine having one’s drink accidentally spiked with LSD would be like. Not a lot of LSD, just a little bit. Just enough to make reality a little wonky.

Put this on Big 10 Network with old Games, I'll never change the channel (in the offseason)
though, would rather they use SEC girls for the bouncing.

Didn't Comedy Central's "The Man Show"
always end with “girls jumping on trampolines”? Any attempt by the LHN is clearly plagiarism.

brilliant choreography
I like the part where they really showed what they have by doing the exact same move – only MORE of it.
I TOTALLY saw a woman using this going past (wait for it)
the NATIONAL ZOO in DC this past weekend. How appropriate, in hindsight.
