The only really bad ones are the politicans and the rappers. Though you could add the rich mainly those who appear on reality shows.

I didn't think there was anything more boring than Cricket, now I know that there is... READING about Cricket.

DrewKaree · « **Reply #17 on:** January 02, 2006, 01:52:19 am »

Who the hell even knew there WAS such a thing as "U.S. Cricket"

I wanna see a Jai Alai match, and I'da seen my first one when we were in FLA, but we had to pick my mom up at the airport. Stinkin' airport and their "schedules"

Any game where someone could get killed by the sheer power the human body can produce has the potential to be interesting. It may suck mightily, but I still wanna see a match or whatever you call a Jai Alai meet-up-and-play thingy.

Anything requiring PATIENTS isn't considered a sport here, it's considered an Emergency Room. Now if the sport rquired PATIENCE, we play boring sports like golf, poker, tennis, bowling....heck, we even watch cars drive around in loops for hours on end, we've got PATIENCE in droves.

Next you'll be telling us we're considered fat and slothful because we don't have the ability to park our asses in front of a tv for hours on end.....WATCHING SPORTS!

Get a cricket ball to the testicles and you will know all about patients.

I call BS on danny for his thread title.

Stingray and I are proof enough that we aren't all bad.

The rest of these guys are a little suspect to me too, but if I can tolerate them, surely some fuzzy Aussie has far more PATIENCE than a gun-totin' fascist. Oh, and Stingray too.

Agreed Drew.

It's like saying all Australian blokes are chick magnets what with our huge oversized genitals and rugged good looks.

Sure it is mostly true, but not always as we also have many English & American people who are Australian citizens.

I think danny is just trying to be a ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- stirrer.

The USA Cricket Association shouldn't have had their meetings during the American Dodgeball Association of America's playoffs.

Besides, the woman are already playing soccer, we don't need another sissy sport.

So that version of Rugby you play with crash helmets and ridiculous amounts of padding isn't sissy then?

When guys still manage to get paralyzed or concussed, perhaps several times, before quitting playing, you are correct in saying it isn't sissy then.

I don't blame Americans for wearing all that protective gear when they play gridiron. If I lived in a country with a similar health care system I would wear a crash helmet even while playing Internet checkers.

whereas right now, you wear that crash helmet for entirely different reasons. Make sure that thing's strapped on tightly before you leave the house now, hear?
