In 1968 Summer Olympics in Mexico City, I did not participate.
In 1972, I staged a one-man boycott but did not get any publicity. In 1976, I injured myself in a bizarre lawn-maintenance accident and had not fully recovered in time to compete. In 1980, I totally missed the games because of an extended sugar-induced coma. For the 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles, I did, in fact, make an appearance - just not there. In 1988, I had a sugar-based relapse that I will not discuss. In 1992, I was married and therefore had no control over the balls I usually played with. In 1996, Just before I divorced her, my ex deflated my balls extending my inability to play with them at any competitive level. In 2000, I caught the millennium bug and coughed continually for seven weeks, severely straining my groin. After that, I just decided my future involvement would be limited to non-competitive hamburger consumption.
