Hi tt,
At least 4 who are regular on this site are from NZ but we hear from a lot who are in the USA. Some of their ways and their passions are quite foreign to us.Quote (toteachachild @ Mar. 17 2007,07:10) just wondering if there are any ncaa college basketball fans on this site?
Hi TTAC,
I quite like BB, and watch some local stuff when it's on. There is a lot of NBA on our cable sports stations (and sometimes College ball) but I haven't developed an affinity with any of the teams there, so can't get into the games. I know it's big there though.Here's something interesting (for me), did you know that in the second to last world champs (2002?) New Zealand, a relative minnow on the world stage, finished in a higher position than the States at the end of the tournament? I think, from memory, you were sixth and we were forth. Pretty amazing when you think about it, mind you it wasn't your strongest team by any stretch of the imagination and we played out of our skins….

Who invented Canada then?Hi All:
I am an alumni of the University of North Carolina. I wear my Carolina Tarheel cap alot, especially when they are winning. When they are not, I wear a different one, just kidding. I am not an avid fan, I used to be but my wife sure is. She will sit in front of the TV and yell, and clap, just as if she were at the game in person. It gives me a head ache.
I have a lot of fun teasing the Duke Blue Devil fans telling them that I am a student of the bible and I know that the devil is already defeated, and that it does not matter what color he is.
If Canadians invented the game of basketball, it would seem that they would know how to play the game, don't you think?
Hey dave, I googled some Canadian jokes.
===============================A French guest who was staying in a hotel in Edmonton phoned room service for some pepper. “Black pepper, or white pepper?” asked the concierge.
“Toilette pepper!”A Canadian bloke is walking down the street with a case of beer under his arm.
His friend Randy stops him and asks, “Hey Dave! Whatcha got that case of beer for?”
“Well, I got it for my wife, you see?” answers Dave.
“Wow,” exclaims Randy, “Great trade.”
An American, a Scot and a Canuk were in a terrible car accident. They were all brought to the same emergency room, but all three of them died before they arrived. Just as they were about to put the toe tag on the American, he stirred and opened his eyes. Astonished, the doctors and nurses present asked him what happened.
“Well,” said the American, “I remember the crash, and then there was a beautiful light, and then the Canadian and the Scot and I were standing at the gates of heaven. St. Peter approached us and said that we were all too young to die, and that for a donation of $100, we could return to the earth.”
He continued, ” So of course, I pulled out my wallet and gave him the $100, and the next thing I knew I was back here.”
“That's amazing!” said one of the doctors, “But what happened to the other two?”
“Last I saw them,” replied the American, “the Scot was haggling over the price and the Canadian was waiting for the government to pay for his.”
What do urine samples and Canadian beer have in common?
The taste.
