It's an iterative annual process:
  - Look up how to read Roman numerals.
  - Apply knowledge to current situation.
  - Drink newfound knowledge away.

I read the chart as "a shitload of people got real drunk last year."

You are the only reason I encourage my kid's skateboarding.

I are humbled. If the kid's got a good heart, he'll come out good no matter. Skateboarding will give him an avenue to put himself leagues ahead on the spectrums of balance, personality, and the perseverance over all of his peers. Being out and rolling about - it's a great addition to your life.

Overgrown boys are smashing into each other on the teevee. Pops is watching. I'm off to skate. Peace out hombres.

Good for you.  I'm glad you finally took up a real man's sport like hockey.  Much better than that silly board with the wheels underneath you used to play around with.

Truth be be told old dad likes to fall on water. 

Not only does the kid have the essential (the good heart), he's got more guts than the one that came before. He's gonna need it.

Me worry? The kid never falls!

Worth the effort, though.

Quality rather than quantity, and all that.

I hear you. I've seen so many people arguing about sports in general and also TV shows instead of discussing things that actually matter. I know a guy that said if they banned the NFL, people would rise up and he'd be one of them. I was thinking, "So slowly whittling your rights away to nothing doesn't bother you but it would if they banned a stupid game?" People's priorities are really messed up. It's disgusting. Don't even get me started on so-called "reality" TV. I hate that the most.

I threw my TV away 15 years ago and never looked back. I'm more informed now than ever. 24/7 Propaganda and advertizing will rot the mind......

Same here.

I don't invite lying manipulative people into my home, so why would I PAY!!!??? to have a TV?

Was just thinking today: I haven't had a television since 1984. Been over 30 years now. Since happening upon the National Review in 1988, then talk radio, and then (now) the internet in 1994? 5? (had to build my own TCP/IP stack) ... well, I just don't get it. Television is patently (and self-admittedly) lying propaganda. Why do people watch it? Not even interesting. Besides ... who has the time? There's not time enough in the day as it is. It's probably been three weeks since I last had time to play Left4Dead.

These guys make kickass watches. My C-1T field watch takes hard slams to concrete along with me. Titanium shell, no damage done.

I don't own a single digital watch.  But three of my six watches do have batteries.

No thank you to the tidy bowl.

Perhaps some alternative programming is in order.

Now, for your viewing enjoyment....the STUPOR BOWL.

Guaranteed to induce you into sleepiness or outright coma(depending on how many brewski's and junk food has been consumed by kickoff) by halftime.

The only roman numerals americans need to know is IV as they're drip fed asinine diatribe straight into their cerebral cortex via a venous catheter.

Football?! They don't even pass by kicking the ball.

It lasts for over 4 hours with 3 second spurts of action followed by minutes of nothing; why do americans watch this crappy sport?

They're trying to export it here in the UK...good luck with that, we'll stick to proper sports like snooker and rugby.

Snooker is a game. A good game, but not a sport.

While I appreciate the point that Americans are being dumbed down, I do not believe that the comparison is a valid one.

I haven't looked at Roman Numerals on the internet since the internet came into being but that's because I already had a solid working knowledge of them having had a half decent education.
