Anyone watch the Ryder Cup?

[bogeyman]

Tautology?

No at all. Haven't you ever heard of pink leprechauns?

Oh yes! Political correctness and the celebration of diversity has even invaded the domain of the little ermm... I mean 'differently sized' people.

[wendigo100]

It sounds like a blockbuster to me!

green-clad leprechauns

Tautology?

Or is that something else?

And Darren Clarke, he of the recently deceased wife but played anyway and caused sobs all round, will be a yank.

Not only that, but "good ole' boy Darrin" [George Clooney] will be dying himself and will collapse into the arms of a sobbing Tiger [Will Smith] after expending his last ounce of effort holing the winning putt. The the stars and stripes will be fluttering in the background as a hoard of weeping, green-clad leprechauns bear his crumpled body away to the great 19th in the sky accompanied by the sound of bagpipes [fade to black - roll credits].

No doubt Hollywood will make a film of the event in years to come where the USA win, and all the Yanks will believe it

There was a stunning remark from some sports journo for USA Today who declared "if the USA isn't winning then nobody back home is going to be interested - it will be a disaster from an advertising revenue point of view".

Sums up the 'Merkin attitude pretty much.

Radio2 are running a text-in competition for how the American headlines will read this morning.

USA in 28-point thriller!

Tiger wins 3-2!

"Europe next to last in shock Ryder Cup defeat"

[MrsGoof]

fantastic sportsmanship.

who paid Tiggers caddie to drop that club

[Mordac]

Anyone who thinks that was boring needs to get out more. It was fantastic sport, and fantastic sportsmanship.

It wouldn't be if it wasn't so f-ing boring.

Golf is 99% walking.

Well as Mark Twain rightly said, Golf is "a good walk spoilt".

[stackpole]

Poor old yanks! That's what comes of being Tiger plus eleven supporting acts. They'd be better off without him.

Having a wife die just before the tournament seems to help as well.
