2. Westminster is the second oldest sporting event in the country!
It beats the shit out of NASCAR.

I'll give you my pick for Best In Show later. I was correct for the last two years.

10. Have you seen the movie Best In Show?
Hilarious because its so damn true! My sister used to do the dog show thing, and I came along as an extra handler from time to time. Very very interesting sport, and yes, its a sport, with all the politics that go along with judging...
