I was flipping channels last night and came across a show "Are You Smarter than a 5th Grader?"

Doesn't that really say it all? US adults think they are doing really well if they know as much as a 12 year old.

Alright, Kia Ora, another fine week on sports review, first up everyone is asking 'what is wrong with America?'.
What is going on over there in the Wrong Planet forum Geoff...

... well we're coming into half time and its mighty 7 for the world side but the US has failed to move of the baseline and they are still on O...

Thats right Geoff, they came out swinging and Uncle Beer made a few lame dashes for the turf hoping to Hollywood a penalty or two, but the third ref was consulted and every time closer analysis showed there was little depth to the arguments.

...Oh Brian, Macbeth and monty made fine use of a long pass from the Australian signing BazzaMcKenzie and ran circles around any US argument which mainly consisted of short rhetorical or quizical stabs, they don't seem to have the depth on the bench to truly compete at the international level here so no-one need be surprised at how this match will finish...tzzzz..tztztzzzztzzz.......tzzzzztzztz PING!....


Funny as hell, and made me think of that bit in Paradise by The dashboard light, with the sports commentary over the canoodling.
