Good to see the North Koreans up to no good again, and the Japanese taking no nonsense from them.
East Asian affairs aren't so interesting if KJI's boys aren't playing up.

And that medal in the poofy sport of figure skating. Now the Japanese will be more gay than usual as they all rush out to learn figure skating.

curling, shuffleboard on ice. Anybody under the age of 50 playing this "sport" should be sent to therapy. Additionally, all players should be forced to wear plaid pants pulled up to their chests.

Well Exsqueeze me!
But that is a Scottish sport you are demeaning. It was invented in the distant past to help folk enjoy the long cold winters. It was probably also designed to help keep people fit when they would normally get very little exercise, (you try brushing like a maniac on a frozen loch). Folk had to do something to stay strong so they could still kick the sh!t out of the English when spring came around.

Hmmm, well there is a bit of controversy about that. It's reckoned that the first golf course was definitely in Scotland, Musselburgh I think, but it's also thought that it was a solidification of a Dutch pasttime. What had been a very informal whacking about of a ball during a walk became the codified game that still bores us silly today, (except when cutie Asian girls are playing and showing off their belly buttons).

Robin Williams: [talking about the invention of golf]
Here's my idea for a sport. I knock a ball in a gopher hole.
"Like pool"
____ off pool, not with a straight stick, with a little ____ed up stick. I whack a ball its goes in a gopher hole.
"Oh you mean like croquet?"
"____ croquet. I put the hole hundreds of yards away. Oh ____ of ya,
"Oh like a bowling thing?"
"Not straight I put ____ in the way. Like trees and bushes and high grass. So you can lose you ____ing ball. And go hacking away with a ____ing tire iron. Whacking away, and each time you miss you feel like you'll have a stroke. ____ that's what we'll call it, a stroke, cause each time you miss you feel like you're going to die.
Oh great, oh and here's the better part this is brilliant. Right near the end I'll put a little flat piece with a little flag to give you ____ing hope. But then I'll put a little pool and a sand box to ____ with your ball again. Ay, you'll be there cracking you ___, jacking away in the sand, "oh and you do this one time?" "____ no. 18 ____ing times."

Lol. spot on description. A good walk wasted. Let's face it though, where else but on a golf course can a white guy get to dress like a black pimp? (also a Robin Williams joke, no offence anyone)

They also put up a statue for Mel Gibson for playing William Wallace when the real Wallace doesn't even have a statue of his own.

No idea about the wee man having a statue, but he may have paid for it himself. I admire Mel Gibson in many ways, he lived with members of the Wallace Society prior to making the film to practice his accent and swordplay, which seems to have come off well in the film, but he is a rabid catholic reactionary who is demented as far as religion goes, so a strange dichotomy.
