Note the phrasing here... "pay MUCH attention" (emphasis mine). Some small
amount can still be paid and not invalidate the truth value of the statement.

It would be Un-American not to know that much about Baseball, so I do my
patriotic duty even if the proceedings themselves usually bore me to tears.

Of course I was just watching the cars... and the people. Didn't actually
care about the Games themselves except as a way to observe popular culture.
(I read "you know what" for the articles, too.)

Miniature Golf isn't a sport, it's more of a comedy exhibition. Besides, the
hole was built from LEGO(r), unlike the rest of them.

now you're starting to pin me down a bit better, I suppose. How do I worm
out of that one? It's because we have one at home, that's it. I bought it
for the kids, not for me. Don't actually LIKE the game, merely need to be
able to thump my kids when I need to, so have to play adults when I get the
chance to stay sharp. Besides it's not a sport either. Ya, that's the ticket.

Due to my brother in law being good at it, mind you. He was reading over my
shoulder, ya, that's it.

You earned that title with THIS post, that's for sure. Where did you dredge
these all up? Amazing!
