  • Field Theory: Cricketucation,

    4 wickets instead of 3

    And giant bats?

  • Field Theory: Cricketucation,

    It was centrifugally armed (by the spin induced after release from the dispenser) and fired when the spin decayed below a certain threshold

    Meaning no one wants to play wicket keeper.

    Somehow cricket needs to be more like Blurnsball. Or was that what Cricket Max was?

    @Kyle:
    That is a good question. I think it was maybe a ban they had put down for Superbowl Week and then decided to repeal but it may go some way to explaining this sign. His wife might be a stripper.

    @Chockasunday
    Why, what did they do?

    @Giovanni
    You're right but I don't think rugby or cricket gets it as you often First XVs and Prime Minister's XIs

  • Up Front: Isn't It Romantic?,

    In fifteen years, my partner and I have never done anything for Valentine's Day. He says all the pink cherubs appear in the shops to remind him that it's my birthday three days later.

    Have we done the "snap" on the birthday timing yet?

    I forgot to mention before that in 12 years Amy and I have never done anything for Valentine's Day. And only partly because it's my birthday two days later.

  • Up Front: Isn't It Romantic?,

    I bet you do (boom boom). But seriously, the answer's Kaylee right?

    Kaylee's sweet. So no. She's just too nice for me.

    Until you remember the scene where Mal meets her, or the "twixt" line from the movie.

    As for secret admirer lines: a friend at our uni hostel, during "secret admirer week", wrote drunkenly on the door of his admiree: fuck I love you. He thought it was funny and sweet, she was scared.

    Meantime in the same week my lovely Amy was sending her admiree headless bride and groom cake decorations and sliding psychotic notes under his door.

    Me, I struggle with 'Mal or Inara'.

    I bet you do (boom boom). But seriously, the answer's Kaylee right?

  • Hard News: Nerd Dad,

    when to let them near my comics?

    It's funny I never even thought about my Asterix or Tintin books. My (as yet non-existent) children can have those as soon as they want, after all I grew up on them (and my uncle's hardcover Tiger Annuals, full of football and WW2 comics).

    Even if it is I would refuse to write it, I have a hatred for Roman Numerals.

    That's so racist.

    But I still like... roads... and stuff

    And prostitutes, according to an enthusiastic DomPost report from last week that I can't be bothered digging for. They bring them in from out of town.

    They say that for every sports event in the world. For the Superbowl Tampa had to overturn it's "no lap dancing" law
