Ugh, how is it I can have a 107 run opening partnership, then stagger to 4/165? Oh that's right, because it seems I CAN'T PLAY SPIN TODAY.

MORE fruit toast?

I had a chicken burger for late lunch. The shop had been closed for about two weeks, we had a countdown on the fridge.. 3 sleeps til chicken burgers etc. We told the man, he laffed.

I've become addicted to the bloody stuff this last week or two!

That's classic.

i played the 20 over version the other day. i had an opening partnership of over 250, got to 300 after only about 14 overs....and was dismissed for 380 odd.

 

[coolian2]

in fact, for laughs...

my 20 over record is now 425/4, but that isn't screenshot worthy because i didn't have someone scoring 200.

Wanders off to look at other stuff for a while.

It doesn't help that I'm playing on a smaller screen than the past couple of summers and I'm having a bitch of a time seeing the ball, though that's more killing me with missing pace deliveries bowled wide of off stump than anything to do with spin. I've usually been weakest with spin, though last night I was killing them. Smacked 20+ runs off a few Warne and Emburey overs. Today? W 2 W W 2 W. I was feeling so good after guiding McCullum and Guptill to 50s too!

I used to have an average of about 19 runs an over in the 10 over slog and getting to 200 was pretty doable ... this year, I'm doing horrendous damage by being lucky to crack 15.5-16 runs an over.

Rawr.

Oh, I've come back to sportz, have I?

You know you want to play Stick Cricket like the cool kids.

 

[Axver]

Or fruit toast.

Fruit toast is pretty cool.

 

[Slopsy]

Fruit toast would be cool if I'd remembered to bloody get any today!

 

[Alisaura]

May I recommend a lizard? It won't peck your stuff to shit and it'll kill insects.

I don't mind the idea of a pet lizard, but they're a pain to look after as well, and not cuddly either.

What on earth are you doing... *L*

no way, I'm more of a spectator these days. I always feel so self concious which is stupid, it stops me from having all sorts of fun.

 

[Alisaura]

I want fruit toast.

I'll just have to settle for milo or chocolate or... do I have cheese?

 

[Cin]

A pet lizard would be kinda cool. I prefer cuddly pets though.

I am biased towards endotherms, I admit.

why go for cheese when you can have chocolatey goodness?

 

[Slopsy]

Another new Orphaned Land song has been put up on their myspaz!

 

[Slopsy]

Oh man, a pet lizard would be so cool.

Actually, aside from various rodents, the pet I've always wanted is a turtle. Turtles are way cool.

 

[Slopsy]

This is a compelling argument.

I have often wondered about the practicalities of chocolate cheese...

I...don't think it would be as good as chocolate bacon.

:googles endotherms:

ah, me too. When I move into a house or somewhere a little more stable I might like a black and white cat. . . . .but hmm, my other cats might like to come stay with me instead.

Turtles are wretchedly adorable...

I had a pet mouse once... it was my first (and techincally only) pet. I accidentally killed it cos I didn't notice its water bottle was leaking...

Awww! I've always wanted a mouse, or a guinea pig.
Or a rabbit.

But I couldn't live without cats, and I don't think they could coexists so well!

 

[Axver]

Various thoughts:

1. Pet turtle would RULE.
2. Chocolate, cheese, and bacon must all be combined in the same meal somehow.
3. I had something to say about Stick Cricket but I can't remember it.
4. Buttered fruit toast

 

[Slopsy]

Cheese and bacon is of course win. Adding chocolate to the mix? Even I'm sceptical.

sorry



I had mice but they scared me so I let them go in a paddock.

 

[Slopsy]

Dogs

I like cats... but I like dogs too. Who says I can't be a cat person and a dog person?
(Although I kinda prefer cats from a theoretical point of veiw, cos by and large they dribble less.)
