A rough-coated, dough-faced, thoughtful ploughman strode through the streets of Scarborough; after falling into a slough, he coughed and hiccoughed.
Well that's remarkably unfortunate for the overly-described ploughman then, isn't it?
Indeed it is.
So what's the point?
The point is that in the English language, the letter combination "ough" can be pronounced nine different ways, and today's Sametime Status contains all of them.
Interesting, and educational. Thank you Jeremy.
In addition, today brings news that the coach of a high school girls basketball team that beat their opponent 100-0 Has Been Fired. This brings up the age-old question of how much do you let up on an over matched opponent in sports before you've crossed the line into classless showboating? What's actually more embarrassing...losing a basketball game by 100 points when the winning team does nothing but run out the clock and shoot low-percentage 3 point shots in the second half, or losing a game by 40 points to a team hot-dogging and running circles around you like the Harlem Globetrotters and only taking shots left-handed? Discuss!

I find that when playing you in volleyball, my best strategy is to serve the ball into the net until you eventually get a point or two.
"This does not reflect a Christ-like and honorable approach to competition." What is Christ-like to only shoot 2's and no defense.
