Nummy.
Wow.
You can be a champion at trampoline??
Okay, I'm sure it is a category of gymnastics.
But I think that is the sporting equivalent of being the world champion toothpaste-tube-masher.

For perspective, what are the non-sporting things that it's cool to be champion of? I mean, other than The World, which is just a given.
Um, pie-eating? Maybe that is considered a sport, now. Crossword puzzles. Spelling. Turkey-calling.
Chess champion? (Possibly for rather geeky values of cool, but I like it.)
but I've never gotten that sizzling vibe off him that so many Highlander fans do
Admittedly, a large part of the appeal is the way he looks at McLeod.
There are geography bees that you can be champion of.
Of course, you can be the champion in the sense of fighting for this cause or that. Is that what you mean?
I have never thought of turkey calling as cool, so I guess I understand how dorky the trampoline is considered.
But could you really look a pretty fifteen year old Welsh boy in the eyes and tell him that? Are you that cold?
Peter Wingfield as the Goa'uld (OMG, I've been away from SG fangirliness too long, for I cannot remember if I've got my apostrophe in the right spot) didn't strike me as hot AT ALL, despite the fact that physically, there wasn't much difference between him and Methos, glowy eyes excepted. I often wondered whether it was because they didn't let him speak in his own voice, which is nummy.
