A weekday bagel. Dependable, satisfying, no fuss.
Summary
A local man from Owensboro, Kentucky, Michael Chou, confidently claims he could easily compete in Olympic luge, dismissing the sport as essentially just lying down and letting gravity do the work. He argues that successfully going down a waterslide qualifies someone for luge, and that unlike other Olympic sports, luge doesn't require lifelong dedication since most people don't have access to luge runs for practice.
