Btw, I like sushi, rice, bread, cheese curds, foie gras, fish of most all sorts, indeed, animals of most all sorts, Vietnamese food, Thai food with or without sufficently wide noodles, and the very occasional McDonalds. It's just the chocolate with raspberry thing I can't deal with.

I like all of your things except foie gras and I will eat chocolate with raspberry, so when we go out for a major pigout of all foods described above, you can eat my foie gras, and I'll have your chocolate raspberry concoction.

I will never, ever understand the sport of Cricket. I have no desire to understand the sport of Cricket. The only time I was involved in a Cricket match, I drank myself into oblivion (and the England / France rugby world cup game was on the telly on the cricket pitch with a very long extension cord to distract the drunken players) while standing in the outfield or whatever they call it of the pitch. Pimms is a mighty tasty drink.

So, I ask aside from drugging oneself into oblivion in order to avoid boredom, what benefit does doping have in Cricket???

I agree with you 100%. I was recently in Chicago and found that I have grown to love the restriction on smoking in bars. I went out a few times and the smell of smoke sinks in so deep that the coat I was wearing smelled like an ashtray a week later.

It is amazing to me that New York is automatically the model of everything wrong in the world. It's like, if people who lived outside of New York didn't have New York to point to whenever they were mad about anything, they wouldn't know what the fuck to do. Hell, all you have to do is watch Fringey's reaction whenever anyone even mentions New York. "Hate it! Mean people! Don't ever go there! Don't want to!" Etc., ad nauseum.

Frankly, I don't really care. I just don't get why this place is the focus of so many complaints.

It's clear that New York has turned you into a pussy.

But some people just don't get it.

Stop judgeing me.

By the way, I think you have confused "judgemental" with "highly complimentary with regard to his preferred recreational intoxicant and the effect said intoxicant has on his culinary desires." But no worries, dude, that sort of thing happens all the time. All. The. Time.

Good question, other than for the pitchers, who seem to run a long way, over and over and over and over again. That said, watching cricket requires serious drugs.

Yay! You're alive! I was worried when I heard about the shootings in the Castro last night.

Dissent. It is not at all clear to me that New York is a cause, much less the primary cause, of Thurgreed's overwhelming pussiness. It could just as easily have been the cheese curds for all we know.

"Akhtar is the first cricketer to be banned for taking a banned steroid and his punishment is the severest since Australian leg-spinner Shane Warne was suspended for one year before the 2003 World Cup for taking a diuretic."

This was perhaps leg-spinning's darkest hour. My leg-spinning classes were canceled for a week after the suspension came down.

I have much better sense than to go to the Castro on Halloween. I went once, several years ago and realized: (1) you can't get into a bar; (2) the police don't let you drink outside; (3) it is so fucking crowded you cannot control your own movement, i.e. like being in front of the stage at a concert; and (4) it is partly populated by assholes from Dublin, Berkeley, San Lorenzo, Cupertino, San Jose who are just there to be dicks. Plus, someone lets all these fags in.

if you have to stay out there for all that time watching these guys do whatever they do, wouldn't you want to take the opposite of a diuretic?

Or are leg spinners so unimportant they can just leave the field to go w/o hurting their teams?

I'll cop to that (when it comes to cigarette smoke, at least). Right before the ban I always said it was a stupid law -- that bars are supposed to be smokey and what's the big deal with it anyway? But now, I don't know how you guys do it.

Leg-spinning is an unorthodox style of bowling. Not bowling as in Big Lebowski, bowling as in cricket.

This was supposed to be a response to Hank, but you'll do.

At my college, more than 1 women's room stall had the slogan "for an adequate time call Hank Chinaski 666-66-66."
