Bob Doling is the official national pastime of the United States of America. It was invented in 2007 by Jamos Stephczyc as a fun and easy way to vandalize [[Conservapedia]]. The basic concept of Bob Doling is to replace words with the name [[Bob Dole]], or variants of the name when replacing words other than nouns. The term “Bob Doling” is itself an example of one such variant.

The idea was inspired by a number of things, including the popular game [[Mad Libs]], where blanks are filled in with words fitting a certain category, selected by a participant who is kept unaware of the context. Also an inspiration for Bob Doling was the practice of a number of characters in popular culture who use a single word in place of many ([[The Smurfs]], for example.)

Bob Doling, though well received from its inception, was not at first well known. In 2010, however, it was given the [[Colbert]] bump when Stephen Colbert mentioned it in a segment on his show. In 2011, [[Congress]] unanimously voted to declare Bob Doling the national pastime, replacing [[Baseball]]. Asked why he felt Bob Doling was superior to the long-time national sport, senator [[Larry Craig]] responded, “Bob Dole baseball. Bob Dole it in its Bob Doling Bob Dole.” Overhearing this, the senate erupted in applause. Larry Craig then leapt on a baseball and began Bob Doling it in the Bob Dole.

Currently, Bob Doling in its truest form is not possible because Conservapedia has banned [[the internet]]. Recent Gallup polls show that 99% of all Americans are “appalled” at this flagrant opposition to the greatest thing ever. The other 1% all responded with “I like birds.”
