Dragon Boat Racing

 

Dragonboats or 龍船 as they say in China are like, but also entirely unlike, giant canoes. Twenty-two people sit in a dragon boat with one person up front beating on a drum and one person in the back steering, while the other twenty schmucks paddle very quickly in time to move this rig that can weigh up to 1,750 pounds.

Here's a video with some party people who also happen to race dragon boats.


Dragonboats look like they'd be fun to ride in, but I probably don't know twenty-one other people to paddle me along while I played a dope beat on the drums.

"A dope beat?"

Hahahaha. (insert joke about the Republican National Convention)

Also, you can trick GLB into doing it. I’d fall for it.

Isn't it enough to know that I ruined a pony making a gift for you?
