Kiltschko is Ukranian, but he was born in Kazakhstan, also home to Borat. So when he ran into Sasha Baron Cohen and his wife Isla Fisher in a Los Angeles restaurant last week, he thought he might have a little fun with the guy.

According to The Daily Star, Klitschko said: “As he walked past me I turned to face him and said, ‘Hey, I think you are an arsehole for what you said about Kazakhstan’. Unbelievably, he started to defend himself – but before he could continue I stood up and was towering over him. I said, ‘I have broken people’s necks for less than what you have done.'"

“He looked frightened – like he had picked a fight with the wrong man. And then I owned up and told him I really think his Borat character is amazing. He looked pretty relieved!”

We hope Klitschko sold the "character is amazing" line hard, because, well, Isla Fisher is far too lovely and hilarious to have to deal with her husband urinating himself in her presence. Though we would understand.

"It's a family event and there will be children there," a police spokesperson told the New Zealand media, asking the 70,000 fans expected at the event to show "a sense of decency." While some New Zealanders told the national media that they would prefer to see more emphasis on the rugby and less on some fans' "self-serving exhibitionism," the sudden attack on the two-day tournament's long-established dressing-up culture left others reeling. Participants are long-used to seeing men in drag and women dressed as sailor girls or policewomen on the terraces for the tournament, said critics who called police fashion prudes.

New Zealand fans are none too happy about his, and plan to protest the event. How does this effect us? I'm not sure, but suddenly I have the urge to load a slingshot with kiwi fruits and go hunting for squirrel.

Both of course are mustache pioneers, and to keep them out would be a true injustice. So we hereby begin our campaign to get Jackson and Hernandez into the Morristache Hall of Fame. In fact, we made a list of what we think the next Hall of Fame class should be. And if the site ignores our entreaties, well, we may just have to start a Mustache Hall of Fame of our own.

A potential prospective 2007 Hall of Fame 2007 class:

• Reggie Jackson.

• Keith Hernandez.

• Borat.

• Dan Quisenberry.

• A.J. Daulerio.

• Stuart Scott.

• Zorro.

• David Hirshey.

• Write-in candidate.

Good luck to all nominees!

Kazakhstan beat Thailand 52-1 to wrap up their ruthless march through the group stage of the Asian Games ice hockey tournament. A search of records indicated the game was the highest scoring match in Olympics history. Kazakhstan is currently ranked 11th in the world in the sport. Thailand is unranked.

Other tops teams have taken it easy against the amateurs from warmer countries but the pre-tournament favourites scored 17 goals in the first period, 20 in the second and eased up only slightly to score 15 in the last third of the game. The scoring was spread fairly evenly through the roster and Oleg Yeremeyev took the biggest haul with seven goals inside the first two periods as Kazakhstan added this rout to a 38-0 drubbing of the UAE.

We're not sure what would inspire a hockey team to score 52 goals in one game. We do enjoy, however, that the Kazakh goalie had a poor save percentage of 80 percent, off five shots.

Like many of you, we suspect, we cannot wait for the new Borat movie, Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan. Therefore, we present this old Borat clip, as he visits a Savannah Sand Gnats minor league baseball game, with predictable results. No matter how cynical you may be, there's something about the Kazakhstan National Anthem that kind of gets you, right here.
