"ken ya?" must be an amusing allusion to Obama's ancestral patch, since it arises in no variety of Scottish English with which I am familiar, nor in Scots proper.

OT: Klitschko wins again but there is muted coverage in USA media. Who? What? Boring!

Heavyweight boxing is dead in America because whites keep beating blacks. Foreign non-white fighters? They make them media stars.

Foreign white fighters even when they are undisputed champs get skimpy coverage.

Soros media octopus in eastern Europe ramping psyops saturation propaganda in order to staunch flow of fearless white men still not effective.yet.

I seem to remember Paul Johnson in his The Birth of the Modern referring to a Scots scientist in the early 19th century encouraging his student-proteges with, "Maybe ya can do it!" Which would sound to non-Scots ears something like "maybuh ya ken doo 't!" By back-formation, the bolded words above would be "ken ya" (example: "Ha! Ya canna, ken ya?") After all, don't Scots observe the "can you?" "do you?" "is it?" formation? I believe all English-speakers do.

Yes lets rag on the Scots today. We only just invented most of modern science.

Exactly. If that feminized trash-talking Afro-Briton flop-cheat had won, it might have been spun as the renaissance of boxing, and we would be hearing about it. Vlad was too easy on him, btw. He permitted him to have his moment in the sun (and half the take), apparently out of charity. I don't even think Vlad trained for this one. Instead, he shoulda pulverized the palooka.

Steve,

Do you happen to know how many majors Tiger won "buff" as opposed to his previously thin self?

I follow golf but I don't recall. I just remember how there were suddenly articles in Golf Digest about his interest in lifting.

Hey Steve, I am pretty late to commenting on this, but...

Most of my family is from Scotland. And recently I was talking to one of them who is an avid golfer (he plays quite a few rounds every week [no exaggeration] and gets in a round on every vacation he takes) and I asked him what they (i.e. Scots, and Brits in general) thought of John Daly when he rose to fame and his response was, "...breathe of fresh air."

He said that they loved him. He played his game without pretending to be anything he wasn't.

Granted, he is not a one man Gallup poll, but I thought that you might be interested.
