Typical, the only time they feature surfing on the national news is because dogs are doing it (the latest idea from those krazy Americans, natch). I guess they look kinda cute on their surfboards but thankfully I'm pretty sure it won't catch on here.

Like that? I've really no idea what else to suggest, other things in the weird stuff category, maybe? Oh, and the surfing rodents, obviously.
