Subject: Petition to include Snowball Fighting in the 2006 Winter Olympics.

For thousands upon thousands of years, men of honor and bravery have engaged in a sport of noble combat. It is a sport which requires intelligence, for one must be wise in the ways of tactics and strategy. It requires strength, for one must be able to throw objects in such a manner that the projectile will move in a speeding manner. It requires agility, for one must be able to dodge such projectiles Matrix style. It requires speed, for one must move quickly to avoid their own destruction.
Yet, for reasons unknown, this noble sport of champions has never been included in the Winter Olympic games. Surely, you say within your brainards, "Say whaaaaaaaat?" You are most certainly discombobulated with confusion. Understandable, this is. For why would not such a sport be included in the winter olympics? It is now known to me the true reasons, but I suspect evil and corruption to be among them.
What is this honorable sport, you ask? I shall tell you. Snowball Fighting, it is called in the English tounge. One of the oldest sports in all of humanity. The cave humans most likely developed it first. Ancient chinese warriors engaged in snowball fighting thousands of years ago, as did the romans. Virtually every culture who lives in a location that allows snowball has played this game for thousands upon thousands of years! Yet, it is not included in the Winter Olympics. Speak to me, what honor is there in skating about on a field of slippery, frozen water? Speak to me, what is noble about spinning about in the air with long wooden objects glued upon their feet, as if they were buzzing bee's on a mission of nonsense? NONE! Snowball fighting is the ultimate COMBAT OF SURPREME HONOR AND ULTIMATE NOBILITY!!!!!!!!!! It MUST be included in the 2006 Olympics. We will not take no for an answer! It is time to take a stand against the injustice the Olympics have placed upon this sport for 100 years!
Sign the petition! Make your voice heard!

Why stop at the Olympics? I don't want to only be able to watch Snowball Fighting every four years. I demand a new professional winter sport, in addition to the Olympics.
Amazing.

If it were included, it's purity as a sport would be compromised for sure.
Just think, they'd have to inspect the snow so that in conforms to the most rigid of standards. Gone would be the little flecks of dirt and tiny pebbles frozen among the ice. Honestly, it wouldn't be the same. The satisfaction of watching a snowball explode and cover someone's face as you laughed your arse off because it was made with your secret stash of "yellow" snow would be gone.
I say Nay! Leave it as it is. To the backyards and parks of the snow covered world and not in an arena.

Personally, I woudl go out for tryouts for snowball competitions. Could it be a team thing? Like the snow ball battles?
Just the thought makes the Olympics more appealing to me. Though I personally think if I were to watch a snowball fight I would laugh the whole time. :P
Oh, you want me to sign? All right, all right. //signs petition

It is no doubt because of evil. I am also formulating a new sport, in which one must roll a large snowball down a hill in order to knock over a series of objects.
But for now, we must concentrate on snowball fighting. I think I should be on the team when its made. Indeed.

It is my belief that such a noble sport will be quite popular amongst the audience.

I say we also have a sport where we roll a giant snowball in a zig zag pattern down a hill to different team members on either side of the aisle! AHA!

*wishes he lived in some part of the world where snow falls*
Anyone notice that is you substitute the 'paint' in paintball for 'snow', you have snowball? I'm thinking it would be a lot like paintball, but without the guns... or maybe with the guns? (guns that shoot snow projectiles).
