Everything I know about cricket...
« on: November 22, 2006, 11:41:44 AM »
...I learned from Lagaan.  (An Indian movie featuring an epic cricket match...not a bad introduction to Bollywood!)

Anyway, I don't know diddly, but I keep seeing the Ashes advertised on tv.  Why is it called the Ashes?

When I am grown-up I will understand how BEAUTIFUL it feels to administrate my life effectively.

Until then I will continue to TORCH all correspondence that bores me and to dance NAKED over the remnants of its still glowing embers.

See this Crabbit - second paragraph. Thanks for asking, I always meant to look this up!

When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down ‘happy’. They told me I didn’t understand the assignment, and I told them they didn’t understand life. ~ John Lennon
