Re: CRICKET
I never quite understood all the running in and out and stick breaking involved in Cricket. Baseball is more fun playing it than watching it. World Series is usually worth watching, if your team is playing. American football is only great going to the game, not the same as watching it on TV and college bowl is better than NFL. Basketball is more exciting, but it's missing something. I guess I agree with Fixthecopier, I feel the same way about sports. There are folks here that talk about it everyday and those who discuss soap operas. Both types of people are the same to me.Cricket: As explained to a foreigner...
You have two sides, one out in the field and one in. Each man that's in the side that's in goes out, and when he's out he comes in and the next man goes in until he's out. When they are all out, the side that's out comes in and the side thats been in goes out and tries to get those coming in, out. Sometimes you get men still in and not out. When a man goes out to go in, the men who are out try to get him out, and when he is out he goes in and the next man in goes out and goes in. There are two men called umpires who stay all out all the time and they decide when the men who are in are out. When both sides have been in and all the men have out, and both sides have been out twice after all the men have been in, including those who are not out, that is the end of the game!
Soccer is played on too big a field. Takes too long for them to run from one end to the other. You can fall asleep in between the "goaaals". The type of sports I like to watch. Type "funny fishing videos bill dance" in google and enjoy. Just make sure you're not driving if you decide to watch these on your android phone or you'll end up in a ditch.
As far as the crickets that get in your house. I would love to see someone from Australia or New Zealand see a Camel cricket for the first time. It should happen like it did to my mom. She was in the living room of a friend's house and one jumped out of nowhere into the middle of the room. She said, "What kind of bug is..." She never finished, because it turned and jumped from the middle of the room clear over her head and landed somewhere behind her. It was the first time she had ever seen one (we're from the north). My dad ran in from outside to find my mom in the middle of the room screaming and jumping up and down. The other two ladies in the room (southerners) were laughing so hard they were crying.Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways - Coke in one hand - chocolate in the other - body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO-HOO, what a ride!".Comment

Re: CRICKET
Some people don't need an excuse to drink beer. Others like myself enjoy A beer with certain foods or just when we desire "a taste" (in my case the desire ends when the beer gets warm or I get halfway through it). Sorry, watching Cricket is not going to change my intake level of one once or twice a month. But to each his own brand of entertainment.please refer to beeer drinking timeLife should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways - Coke in one hand - chocolate in the other - body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO-HOO, what a ride!".Comment

Re: CRICKET
I know I'm going to get boos for this...but
I think most beers are disgusting and the only ones I like are foreign, particularly Belgium in origin.
My favorite is Lindeman's Framboise (raspberry), Peche (peach), and Kriek (cherry)
Every now and then I can tolerate a Guinness or sometimes I get a half Guinness and half Harp.
Honestly, it's pretty rare that I even drink alcohol. Once per month is pretty frequent for me.Comment

Re: CRICKET
Yup, it's real. Pretty nice area. A little expensive though. It's just west across the river of the state's capital Harrisburg. A real sh*t-hole that's basically bankrupt. Well that's Pennsyltucky...caters to the crooked and corrupt, and people of a very old age. Every law that's passed usually gives special favoritism to geriatrics. Even our state's lottery slogan is "helping older pennsylvanians."
There is also a mechanicsville, pa as well.Comment
