Gandalf Defeats the Armada
Folks are astounded that in a BBC poll, 6% of 16-to-24-year-old Britons thought Gandalf defeated the Spanish Armada. 15% thought that on July 12, Orangemen in Ireland celebrate the victory at Helm’s Deep (silly wankers; we all know they’re celebrating Syracuse’s victory over…some other sports team).
“This is extremely shocking,” said Nick Seaton, a chairman of some education-booster-organization. Not to worry, Mr. Seaton. I suspect the lads have had a nice joke at the Beeb’s expense here. I can just imagine some teenage yob snickering to his mate, “Oy, Gaz, I marked ‘Gandalf’ for #12!”

During those anonymous drug use surveys we got in high school, my results would put Keith Richards to shame.

Point of Order:
We are no longer the Syracuse “Orangemen”. We are now simply the Syracuse “Orange”. Thanks for listening…
