Lou... 3,118 Posted October 13, 2011 Report Share Posted October 13, 2011 Snarky alert!Give me a break, dragon boat racing. I wonder if those boats are made in China?Sorry, but I limit myself to American Dragon Boat Festivals only.That is unless there is a National Lent Collectors festival in town.What the heck is a Dragon boat? God forbid Disney would have a good old fashioned American sport, like rowing for instance.Lets pander to the Chinese just a little bit more.Ok, I'm done. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
