What's next, Pokerfencing?

What people won't do to have a bit of fun.

The L.A. Times has an article on Chessboxing.

I guess this is a Reese's Cups (warning: site at link alarmingly orange) type moment (two great tastes, even better together)

I have a few suggestions for future sport mashups

Poker-fencing (Texas Hold 'Em meets fencing, on the showdown, the two fence to decides who gets an extra card for themselves only)

Skeet-bowling (This is a natural, bowl the first half of a frame, and use a shotgun to pick up the spares, not really Skeet shooting but the words work great together)

Beach Volleyball/Tag-team Mud Wrestling (After watching the Women's Beach Volleyball at Athens, admit it the thought of this mash-up crossed your mind)

I'm out of suggestions for now, feel free to add more great new sporting event ideas in the comments.
