WIDE WORLD OF SPORTS CLICHES
If hockey players and Rugby League players and baseball players and AFL players all take it "one game at a time", how do National Geographic World Championship competitors take it?

Posted by: Mr. Bingley at July 17, 2003 at 01:56 PM Good point... I wonder how competitors in the 'Global Deforestation World Cup' take it? (Scroll down to the June 29 entry). One tree at a time? One "Belgium" at a time?
I suppose it all depends on who they are - like, if they're France or Britain, or someone who actually believes in the Greenhouse effect, they might take it pretty seriously...
When the Nat Geo boys take it "one week at a time", do they manage to "get it done" or do they merely "step up to the plate"?
