PIMPDALE, NEVADA – This weekend marks the 43rd Annual Festival of Overexertion held in Pimpdale, Nevada. The AFOO was once just a competition for the weak and elderly; but now due to Al Gore's global warming the event is now one of the most grueling sporting competitions in the world. This two day event includes competitions such as “Desert Sun Lawnmowing”, “Desert Sun Sidewalk Marathon”, and the ever popular “Just Standing In The Desert Sun”.

Once again the AFOO brings people from all over the world, all vying for the coveted gold medals which depict a prone figure with a washcloth on its forehead and a cup of iced tea in its hand. The current medal holder in the “Desert Sun Sidewalk Marathon”, Fazad Al-Baahmir from Tunisia, is once again the odds on favorite.

Another competitor in that event, Sven Lefelson of Sweden is quoted as saying “I know I can handle the distance, and I would have won last year if it just wasn’t so hot”.
