Topics: obama, porridge, star qualities
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

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.

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.

Surprisingly a Scot even invented the US Navy.
