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.
You got all kinds of learnin' and you made me look the fool without tryin', and yet here I am with a gun to your head. That's 'cause I got people with me. People who trust each other, who do for each other, and ain't always lookin' for the advantage.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

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.)

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
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.

Art Crawl!!!
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?

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
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.

I think, ita, the phrase you are looking for is, "You! Bounce on down offa there and into my pants."
I am not especially particular to the guy, so I would just ask him to bounce towards someplace where I would be confident he wouldn't hit his noggin on the ceiling.

Okay, eww, I don't say things like that to fifteen year olds.
For the record.
