        Running, punching, crushing his nuts on his crossbar - he's turning into a decathlete! Still boring as batshit when he opens his mouth though.

          The entire sport of Golf, especially Phil Mickelson and Rory McIlroy.<br><br>
          I like almost all sports, but find Golf boring. Mickelson and McIlroy seem to be boring men playing a boring sport.

                <p>I certainly don't go out of my way to watch golf but definitely admire anyone good enough to get to the top and I'd imagine a night on the piss with John Daly and Tiger Woods would be a hell of a good time.</p>

                  <p>dunno about Tiger, unless he has all his birds hanging out with him...he seems a bit bland IMO, someone posted an article about him a while back, really long, but really good read.</p>

                                    <p>I'm not a fan of Donald Trump to say the least, but I wouldn't go as far as saying I hated his supporters. It's Donald Trump, not me, who judges people on the basis of their impairment, religion, race or nationality. I guess his supporters have their personal reasons for being angry with the liberal elite.</p>
                                    <p> </p>
                                    <p>But I would humbly suggest if anyone is looking to a small government, fiscally  alternative to Hillary Clinton then they are much better off voting for the Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson in November. Trump's is an entertaining circus act but given the levels of bigotry he has expressed in the last year, he really shouldn't be given the most powerful executive government position in the world. Electing bigots hasn't worked out happily in the past.</p>
