Seriously think about this logically. How can a flying spaghetti “whatever†live or make something? If we are made in Gods image, I’m not spaghetti am I? you have probably ruined millions of people’s lives. Y is there pirates in ur religion? I am trying 2 act like u don’t have mental disabilities, but it’s very hard. This is blasphemy and u will probably burn in hell for the next eternity for ruining the lives of millions of people. I don’t know ne1 who “believes†in ur load of #$^@!like the words of others GET SOME HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@ Alchemist
ok, then I don’t think they’re gonna be Deliverance crazy:P *insert Dueling Banjo’s*
cricket, oy. question bout it: do you have to be from England to understand that game?:P
@Thumper.
Just wait until Scotland thrash the Aussies. Oh how I’ll dance :)
.
O-EJ - well, the Aussies know something about it too. It’s mainly the old commonwealth countries (i.e. places we have, at some time, invaded, enslaved or generally fucked about with).
.
You have to start at an early age with cricket. I haven’t a clue about all of the rules but that’s OK as most umpires are pretty clueless too (unless they’re on our side of course).
@ Alchemist
ok, good to know I’m not the only one completely lost on it:P
Ooooh. Looks like we’ve completely flooded the recent comments again.
.
Must - learn - to - sleep - sleep - is - good. This’ll teach me for not having a beer today.
.
Ten more minutes and I’m out, honest!
@ OEJ- I lived in England a while back and still have no clue about cricket (sorry Brits and Aussies - no offense). I do know they can play for 3 days and still have no idea who won…
@ Alchemist - how did you end up with cousins in Alabama? At least Mobile is a real city!
@ Thumper - had fun with hungdaddy. He accused me of being “sensitive”!! Hahahaha!
@ everyone - I’m out for the night. Back as soon as I can…gonna take one more shot at hungdaddy before I sign off though…thanks everyone for the entertainment! Was feeling pretty down when I started this evening and feel better now! RAmen! :)

It’s an exciting sport O-EJ. Kind of like watching grass grow, but with just a little more action :P
.
Oops….meant to be getting some work done here. Blind leading the blind :)

“well, the Aussies know something about it too.”
.
Yes…which is that the English seem to be intent on losing against us every time they play :P
We won’t even mention those Tykes……hahahaha (*ROFL*)
Rowdy - my maternal grandmother was the youngest of 7(I think) siblings - she was the only one who didn’t emigrate in the early 1900s. Got relatives in NY, Mobile, Quebec, Vancouver and other places I can’t remember.
.
“I do know they can play for 3 days and still have no idea who won…” - 5 days for a test match. At one time they weren’t time limited. I suspect they changed that when people started dying from old age.
.
When you go to see one - well, put it this way, they sell alcohol so it’s more like a 5-day Piss Up-a-thon - usually have to check the score when you get home to see what you were supposed to be watching :)
Hell, ten past three - time for bagpuss to go to sleep, the mice on the mouse organ are getting testy!
.
Night folks, catch you soon
RAmen!
@OEJ
Cricket really is the greatest game ever…it tests a man physically (think 5 days in the sun running about), mentally and more importantly…it tests a man’s spirit and even his honour like no other game…cricket is like life…I sh*t you not! Don’t listen to Wench Nikkiee…most chicks just don’t get cricket…it’s not in their genes or handbags or something…
.
Here’s a little challange for you…if you can successfully research the 10 ways to get out in cricket I’ll make you my “padawan apprentice”…you may call me Yoda or Thumper…whatever you prefer… and I’ll provide you with the very first web based cricket coaching clinic in history…you’ll be the envy of your peers…you can even ask Alchemist for help if you need to…

Hey Thumper
I played Vigaro (and sometimes cricket) all through my school days :)
Even knocked a “silly mid on” into unconsciousness once, when I accidently slipped into softball tradition of throwing the bat after…on that occasion…an excellent hit. (at least a four, though I thought it was probably a six…wasn’t counted though :(
In fact that game kinda died after that!
RAmen
Oh and when I referred to watching grass grow…was mainly referring to spectating the game. Mind you, on your own teams fielding stint, it really depends on your field position, batsman and bowler, as to whether you have time for a game of chess, a couple of drinks and a nap in between seeing any action. :)
Have done a few tours to the Goldfield Ashes too (of course) Just don’t remember much about those games….at all :P
@Wenchy
Vigaro is a poor cousin of the real thing…you’re to be commended on playing the real thing though…cricket builds character…but “just because you are a character doesn’t mean you have character” - Harvey Keitel “Pulp Fiction”.
.
Cricket is a tough sport…silly mid on is a tough position. My friends and I have a little tradition of playing Qld vs Rest of the World (ROW) each year (ROW includes other States but we have a couple of Poms, Kiwi’s and a Sri Lankan)…I usually get silly mid on…I believe this is on account of my enormous skill and that I’m usually most pissed at 9.00am (and agree to stand 3 feet from the batsman)…but now I think about it maybe my team mates just don’t like me…
@Wenchy
“was mainly referring to spectating the game.”…what an appalling thing to say…there’s nothing in this world as exciting as being glued to the tele watching every ball of a hard fought 5 day test between the Aussies and the “Old Foe”…other then being at the game dressed as a XXXX Legionnaire cheering for your countrymen…(we made it into Shannon Noll’s “Come on Aussie” film clip I’ll have you know…we also got in “Picture” magazine with a hot naked woman…classy stuff)
.
I’ve taken the trip to Charters Towers…is the largest cricket competition in the World…150 teams…of varying degree of ability…
Thumper
“silly mid on is a tough position.”
Yes…she certainly thought so after that :)

A few months back, I found a good overview of the Towers Australia Day weekend, which I have posted on another thread once before. You may have already seen it. I think it captures the flavour of the Goldfield Ashes nicely.

Will dig that one up and have a look up for sure :)

I’ll try and send a photo to…you know where???…I’m a secretive wabbit…*wabbit draws up collar of trench coat*
