An oldie but a goodie

We like bitching. We like hearing about people bitch, we like seeing people bitch, we like reading about people bitch. After all, if you can't complain about something, the next best thing is seeing/hearing/reading someone else complaining. Bitching is non-denominational, knows no colour-boundaries, isn't sexist, and applies equally to every age group. Bitching is done by the highest of the high and the lowest of the low, although the topics vary. It's damn close to a universal sport (right after soccer), and will no doubt be an exhibition sport in the Olympics before too long. I can see it now... the 200m "fuck off". Topics to be chosen by a panel of independent judges. Sub-categories can include the "I don't care what the facts are, here is my point." and the "Random swearing" endurance trials.

My god, it sounds so beautiful....

And the winner of the bronze medal for the third time, the French. While some feel that they should have gotten the silver, or maybe even the gold, this year, what with the first two categories being "Why the Germans suck." and "What is wrong with American food", their chances were blown by the final category of "What is with the French always surrendering?" Tough luck, but there's always the next time.

Depending on the rules...the Germans, Russians, and all Arabic-speakers are heavily favored for medals because of the basic phonetics of the languages.

But see...

That was the reason for the first French bronze medal. The competition rules stated that all bitching must be done in English.

The reason they didn't win that time is that the second round of bitching was "The main course for dinner tonight is snails."
