2. When I see that there is a World Freehand Circle Drawing Championship and a World Beard and Moustache Championship, I'm reminded of Will Wilkinson's point that there are an indefinite number of areas wherein people find ways to seek status.

Second reaction: The two accents with which I'm most familiar (Texas and South Carolina) didn't ring quite true -- they were close, but something was just a little bit off. I wonder if people who are really from Belfast or Moscow, etc., would have a similar reaction.
