Sportscenter has an Australian/NZ franchise. Modified format, shorter, smaller sets, same style, international sports, 'Straylian' accents. The presenters names are: Travis Winks and Tiffany Cherry. Sad and true. | ||

What "sport" are they presenting? Sounds like Dirk Diggler and Amber Waves. | ||
| Danger_dave |
Important stuff - Cricket, Rugby League, Aussie Rules, Rugby Union. | ||

You did get the Dirk Diggler/Amber Waves reference, right? http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www. jahsonic.com/BoogieNights.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www .jahsonic.com/BoogieNights.html&h=301&w=400&sz=19& hl=en&start=6&um=1&tbnid=SWoy1bncFJzX_M:&tbnh=93&t bnw=124&prev= | ||

DD, See what happens when you try to use big words? Many of us had to lay back until it was explained to us! Dammit! Use regular words unless you really have to!  | ||

Thanks - noted - I shall eschew obfuscation forthwith | ||

Some things you should only learn in prison. | ||

Speaking of big words, and camping and prison and learning things that you know you would have been better off to just wallow in you ignorance, and wondering what all this has to do with Tiff and Trav, I feel compelled to share my newest big problem. I have finally found my phobia. I've never been afraid of heights or caves, snakes or spiders. I was a little scared of addressing a room full of people, but Dale Carnegie cured that. I've always been a little scared of women, but have come to realize that's just good sense and reason. I always knew there was something though, maybe even phobophobia. Thanks to the Readers Digest, finally I know what my problem is. I don't know how to deal with it, trying to discuss or face it causes flareups. Vern probably has it, Steve too maybe. Dave needs to catch it. Yes, bringing this up may cause me grief and agony, but I must. Hello my name is Ed and I have hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia. | ||
| Danger_dave |
I suffer from 'No Syndrome' Syndrome. | ||
| Etennuly |
Thanks Ed, now I'll have to look that up too.  | ||

Here - from Wiktionary: Etymology From hippopotomonstrosesquipedalian, an extension of sesquipedalian with monstrum "monster" and a truncated, misspelled form of hippopotamus, intended to exaggerate the length of the word itself and the idea of the size of the words being feared; combined with phobia. The word consists of 35 letters. [edit]Noun hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia (uncountable) The fear of long words, ironically. It is literally the hippopotamus- and monster-related fear of very long words. Ben is a sufferer of a mild form of hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia Z  | ||

The thing about phobias is that they are from instilled fear. I do not fear big words at all. I am either too preoccupied or just too lazy to look them up. And as for my schooling, I was raised in a barefoot back water steel town where the school had six rooms, three of them being closets, where I excelled to the head of the class when ever I was inspired. | ||

So this has nothing to do with the radiator pods then. |
