Bad news, good news
Bad news:
1. My son broke his arm last night playing soccer. 2. Detroit lost the NBA finals. 3. Kevin Trudeau's book is #22 on the Amazon best seller list. Good News: 1. So far, only $30 in copays (emergency room treatment, 6 x-rays, orthopedist review, splint, cast, sling, and 30 Vicodin tablets) and the soccer league has sent a secondary insurance form to recover that. 2. The NBA season is over. 3. The reader reviews of Kevin Trudeau's book on Amazon.com. |

This is the only important news.

Sounds more like rugby. Shall we get that thread moving? Or shall we start a cricket thread, where nothing moves. An English friend was going to take his American wife to her first cricket match. I told her to bring a book. VtSKier |

Although he was playing forward, the coach told him to mark the opposite right forward. So he was back in front of our goal, fell trying to get the ball from his opposite, whose shot then bounced off him. He jumped up, tried to get the ball again, fell again, but this time landed on his left arm. The keeper was able to scoop up the ball and punt it free. When the ref saw the angle in his forearm, he called halftime. |

Just as she gets absorbed in some interesting part of the book (on page 165, for instance) there will be a moment of action on the grass, and the disturbing cries of "Well played!" will break her train of thought. I'm really disappointed in the direction this thread is taking. I was hoping (in a "passive-aggressive" way) that we would get into a discussion of Kevin Trudeau. |

Cricket isn't as polite as some think. There's a fair bit of chit chat goes on out there (and always has, we didn't invent sledging). There's books written with the best sledges (from Dr Grace himself, and down the ages), but one that springs to mind is when our bowler Glen McGrath asked Zimbabwean batsman Eddo Brandes why he was so fat and he said "because every time I have sex with your wife she gives me a biscuit." (there's much worse). |

Or perhaps a loud LBW appeal from the wicket keeper? That'd certainly make me put down my Proust. Cricket isn't as polite as some think. There's an old story about a group of cricket fans who were quite rowdy and loutish. Hoons, you might say. Anyway the cricket authorities determined that the only way to save the reputation of the game was to cordon off an area for those loud uncouth rowdy fans so they wouldn't bother the gentlefolk. Unfortunately, the number of rowdies soon grew to where they wouldn't fit inside their designated area anymore, so the authorities had to expand it. Then they had to expand it again. And again, until it became quite large. Today this area is known as Austrailia. -Walt |
