as for base ball, pretty fans of it can kiss my balls for all I care.
Baseball is one of the best ways to enjoy a sunny afternoon with hotdogs and cold beer.
Just like the way cricket is one of the best ways to enjoy a slightly-overcast-with-a-threat-of-rain-better-take-a-brolly-just-in-case afternoon with cucumber sandwiches and a thermos of tepid tea is over here.
I've no doubt. I am curious about cricket. It's the only game whose rules I can read front to back and still have no idea how to play. I'd love to see a game in person, and I wish they would have it on television here. I have never been able to find a game even on cable channels here.
:shock:

I thought everything was on cable in the States.

If you find a game, it would be better if it was a 50 over match rather than a 5 day test...
Well, I'm sure it's been on t.v., I've just never run across it.

The thing that was interesting in the class was every time the professor said ‘Al Qaeda’ his shoulders went up, But you know, it is that you don’t say ‘America’ with an intensity, you don’t say ‘England’ with the intensity. You don’t say ‘the army’ with the intensity,” she continued. “... But you say these names [Al Qaeda] because you want that word to carry weight. You want it to be something.” - Ilhan Omar

I dig the craft beer, the Mexican food, the burgers, the entrepreneurial spirit, the salaries for tech jobs, the wide open spaces, the way blue-sky tech and science get converted into real things, um... and some other stuff I can't remember right now.
