Political Discussions

Mathew Cox, from Milwaukie in the US, has won this year's Golden Spurtle award at the World Porridge Championships in Invernessshire (Scotland)

The judges were obviously swayed by Obama's star qualities how else could someone from the US ,with their diet made up exclusively of burgers, come to the HOME of porridge and win this prestigious title.

The judges tasted Matthew's porridge and although it was foul, this citizen of Obamaland had them bewitched, in their heads they heard the oratory and they knew the porridge was good.

Polybore feels that this disgrace has ruined the credibility of World Porridge Championships. The Golden Spurtle will be forever tarnished.

    Not to rub salt on a wound, but didn't the Scots lose at bagpiping too? Seems they are losing their touch. Or they have been too successful in their cultural exports.

    Personally, I like my rolled oats uncooked with yogurt or raw milk.

      Yes it is a particularly vindictive campaign the US is waging against the Scots. You have a point regarding the cultural exports. As they say "absence makes the heart grow fonder" which pushes Scots abroad to new levels of Scots cultural proficiency. Although polybore is sticking to their guns on the influence Obama had regarding the Porridge competition.

      And to cap it all Donald Trump is busy despoiling beaches in polybore's locale to build yet another monument to his Trumpness, a massive Trump Golf Course. www.trumpgolfscotland.com/default.asp

    The next thing that'll happen is there will be an American 007.

    Wow. I thought you'd actually make something good, but this has to be the least funny, witty, and interesting satire I've ever read.
    1. polybore
      Why thank you. The clue is in the name, Poly BORE.

      Having said that polybore detects a sense of humour failure. Less funny than "Jesus Christ was a socialist?" or just politically pointed in a direction not to one's taste?

      Sense of humor failure and a raw nerve it seems lol. Looks like you need to increase your fibre intake BTW Try porridge.

      For crying out loud I was being sarcastic!

      Yes it was obviously a sarcastic turd. Taking a picture of (your own?) stool and using it to illustrate your post was maybe just to avant guard.

      Ahead of your time. No doubt a few years from now emotions will have been replaced by images of actual bodily functions.

      "Taking a picture of (your own?) stool..."

      LOL. It was a picture of dogstool (notice that it was on grass) I picked up on photobucket. I have no clue who left it there!

      All I know is I had to clean off my screen and keyboard after I hurled. Can't be posting stuff like that, no matter how "sarcastic" it is.

    Speaking of Scottish, I knew that a lot of Scots said "wee" instead of "little," but today I saw in an American dictionary that this wee word is "chiefly Scottish."

    Have we got the Scots to thank for any other bits of our vocabulary?

      Not sure actually, will have a think about it. Scots have invented a surprising amount of stuff, essentially the modern world, maybe that would count? Like the refrigerator, TV, telephone, antibiotics, pneumatic tyre, trains and so on.

      en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scottish_inventions_and_discoveries

      Surprisingly a Scot even invented the US Navy.

      not to mention that Manrent was the inspiration for our modern wealthy-people worship
