A lazy Saturday in Boston has you and eight of your friends sitting around the house with nothing to do. While some might break out monopoly, DTox (his nickname) and fellow Bostonians, took to the streets with $100, a van and a love for watersports.

A short stint of searching soon found our lads in the presence of someone who would share their love of watersports, a person that, with a little compensation, would be willing to engage in some aquatic endeavors in an unlikely location. Say, for example...a drainage stream.

After a short bit of bargaining, the agreement was made for the "Urban Boston Summer Olympic Aquatic Games." This man would execute a short jump and swim to the shore of the stream. The athlete, valiant and brave, prepared himself by removing his jacket and shoes. With a few deep breaths and a yelp of excitement, he struggled through the challenges of the event, including a slow-moving stream and a host of bacteria that we can only speculate on the nature of.

After rejoicing, the cash prize was awarded. A medal, however, could not be given because of speculation of drug use prior to the event. Wracking the Boston athletic community to the foundation, we can only hope that DTox and his crew can muster the morale to continue in their endeavors.
