Just two bros, nuts to butts, at breakneck speeds.
Well I’m sold
I’m surprised that even needed clarification. Like, we’re not watching a couple of red pandas in M1 Abrams playing water polo with telephone poles, what the fuck about that picture is baffling to you?
My only question is how terrifying is it being the top in this scenario? Looks precarious at best.
I’d imagine that when your forward velocity is that great, your desire to not become human luge paint is generally such that you can eat charcoal and produce only the finest of Tiffany cuff links. Not sure what that says about the Lego brick below you, but they made their choice.
At least on top you can see where you’re going.
At only the most incredibly uncomfortable neck angle.
Starts solo, and then your buddy asks if he can join.
I’m too scared bro. Can I ride you bro?
As long as you keep your socks on.
Wait, when you say “ride”, which position did you want to… Oh well, erm, never mind, forget I asked. Uhm… Yeah, bro, whatever, sounds fun. I’m there for you, bro.
I looked up the origins of the luge double and you’re not too far from the truth!
I would have thought it was a lighter weight dude guessing how much faster it would be if he weighed double.
I’d have tried it with lead weights in the sled, but whatever.
Was copious amounts of alcohol involved?
Or you are too scared to try it yourself, so you ask your friend(me), to hold you so you feel safe going down that big hill
You know…that actually looks kinda gay if you ask me.
Sometimes I think the real miracle is that some only-a-little-bit-gay and some not-even-noticably-gay events have finally been accepted into the Olympics.
Edit: unless we stretch our imaginations to imagine that the ancient Greek origins of fit naked men wrestling in public might not have been terribly sexually charged, I guess.
There was a lot of gay shit in Ancient Greece
why else would you watch it?
It’s not gay if you’re underway
or wearing tight skin suits.
Me: “It’s the hot dog luge”
Wife: “What? Why?”
Me: “Weiner rests in the split of the buns”
Wife:
A Dutch talkshow host absolutely wrecked the notion of this sport, and skeleton as well. It’s basically just going down a slide one at a time on a little sled, was his point. And the difference between these sports is the way you lie on the sled.
And skiing is just sliding down a hill with 2 wooded planks strapped to your feet… What’s your point?
And if my grandmother had wheels she would have been a bike
Same with bobsled.
The main difference between Luge and Skeleton (beyond the obvious) is that in Luge you launch and accelerate with your hands and arms. In Skeleton you do so with your legs. That’s a big reason why they’re both valid as olympic sports.
Now, hang on to something here, I’m about to blow your fucking minds - what if we have a different name, and we get to use all our extremities?
We could call it, uh, Gofastdownhill. Write that down. WRITE THAT DOWN!
We have that, it’s bobsled.
Yeah it’s like louge doubles but doubles and sitting up right.
I’m a bit confused. Which one is the top here?
Oops, All Tops.
The one on the bottom.
And yet the guy on top technically finishes first
He’s called the power bottom because he’s generating all the power.
Big “who’s on first” vibes
The bottom man is the top man, obviously.
Competitive republican convention
This is just a normal Friday night for me
Ever do it with the visor up?
:: halfway down the run ::
Top: Ok, you know, that’s making it really hard to concentrate.
Bottom: Well if you would not bounce us around so much…
Top/Bottom in which sense?
Yes
I have cackled loudly and now I need to explain why to my children.
Thank you.
I always say “I read something funny on the internet. You wouldn’t understand.”
“think of it as an extra safety restraint”
Is a bigger bulge a competitive advantage in this, too?
I’d assume more size = more wind resistance. But if there are any players that lose because of it, I can give them a participation award that will annihilate some silly troply or medal…
I think it’s actually the opposite, with the suit materials they decrease friction with a larger bulge
Bulge in the bottom guy, holds the top guy in place.
What lugers
You start off with a bit of spooning and before you know it you are in the winter Olympics.
Craig: “What are we doing again?”
Mark: “We need to practice our luge doubles.”
Craig: “…”
Mark: “So I’m gonna need you to lie down on top of me.”
Craig: “Mark, this is a couch.”
Mark: “It’s just practice. We don’t have to be moving.”
Craig: “Mark, you asked me over to watch football.”
Mark (turns on football game): “Now come over here.”
This feels like a Peep Show sketch
boys will be boys
I’m guessing there’s a rule against a crotch cam, so the top can leave his head down?
