June 6Jun 6 I have actually played cricket recreationally on some of my visits to Australia. The hardest part for me was to remember to take the bat with you after you hit the ball and took off running to the other end. You can actually stretch out with the bat to get it across the line before your body does to be "safe".
June 6Jun 6 I was in India for 2 weeks years ago. My nightly entertainment was watching IPL each night. I became pretty versed on how the scoring and other intricacies of *that* brand of cricket worked towards the end of my stay.
June 7Jun 7 Never played cricket, but somehow still believe my HS baseball prowess would easily translate into making me a top tier professional cricketer.

You played Rounders. The first thing you have to get in your head about the real Game is that there is no such thing as a "foul ball". The second thing is that if the bowler (you probably would still call him the pitcher) hits you with the ball, you're Out. It's also a whole lot more fun to play than it is to watch, so there's that...

I had the opportunity to play baseball in college. My thoughts were similar to yours about my skills translating to cricket. While I did surprise the Aussies with hitting the ball it was a challenge because your stance and swing is different than baseball and you are hitting the ball coming off of a bounce. The real challenge was trying to bowl. You are not supposed to bend your elbow when you bowl the ball. Growing up playing baseball and pitching some, bending the elbow becomes a natural habit. It was a very awkward approach.

No wonder we kicked their asses. I would like to see Mike Tyson play cricket. The match would last 38 seconds and Tyson would crush it.
June 8Jun 8 Maybe I've asked this before but I saw it again today. Driving around and a couple of cars were missing the gas cap cover on their cars. I'm not talking about missing the cap you unscrew before you can put gas in your car. I'm talking about the piece of metal that goes over the door to the gas cap compartment. Some cars have just a door that you either click open by pushing in or you can to press a button to release the door when you want to put gas in the car. Was it stolen off the car? Was it a secure lock door that was malfunctioning and the only way to get it off was to rip the outer covering off and pry the door open? The frame was there but no cover so you have this weird piece of gray metal framing against a different color of the car. This was on a couple of cars I've seen today and others over the past week. Is there a rash of gas thievery going on where hoodlums are ripping these covers off? Is this the new catalytic converter theft ring?
June 8Jun 8 Did you also get the runs?I had to eat 3 airline meals before I got there…. Nothing I ate or drank for two weeks bothered me… until the airline food on the way back.

June 15Jun 15 I mentioned on another thread that my friends daughter has a tanning salon. They live in Texas. I don’t get it. Just go outside. She fancies it up too. This tan is 45% olive and 30% Whitney and 25% acrylic
June 17Jun 17 baby on board signs/stickers on cars. I see a TON of them. Is this to let carjackers know there is a potential extra complication to their crime? Wtf? No one is changing their driving at all due to this.

On cars that are obviously being driven by a fully licensed adult driver. I think they're just bumper stickers that really mean "I'm a shitty driver, so I needed something on my car that makes it look like I have a reason to be a shitty driver."

You should drive around the Frisco and Plano area to see everyone, and I mean everyone, with a bright yellow "student driver" sticker on their car.

It's nuts. and a lot of the time it's like 30 year old Indians. Which makes me think they've shared some sort of "life hack" on their whatsapp groups "they won't be so mad at our horrible driving if we have these stickers" someone accidentally figured out when driving their 16 year old's Toyota Corolla. 17 minutes ago, Brisketexan said: I see more of those.

I've gradually becoming a really shitty driver. It's not the stickers on your car that defines you. It's what you do that defines you.

June 17Jun 17 I suspect that this is probably a regional thing and/or just a coincidence (availability heuristic in action, perhaps?), but in my experience, in the Chicago area, this sticker seems to be found almost exclusively on vehicles driven by Asian people. Nobody else seems to be buying this sticker.

It is your civic duty to tailgate them, brake check them, drift into their lane, weave in front of them, and otherwise enhance and accelerate their learning curve.
June 17Jun 17 With a kid that just passed his driver's test, i get the student driver thing. It works as I cut some slack when I see those. I just don't get the baby on board. As pointed out above sex trophy makes the most sense

I live in a very small town and our well-liked football coach is also the driver’s ed teacher. We fuck with that car every time we see it driving around town. Gotta teach them kids to stay alert.

I always wanted a device that you could aim at a car and set off their airbags. Being in S. Florida with the crazy aggressive drivers, I totally get having a student driver sticker on the car for the kiddos. I mean they don't even know how to pack a mag and eat their MickeyDs at the same time. When I see one of those stickers I do cut them some slack. <RANT> Those mofos sitting at a green light staring at their phone can EABODs! They get the horn instantly, and not the polite beep beep horn either. </RANT>

It eventually blew out during extended use when some dipshit was trying merge into me before a bridge crossing while he attempted to pass everyone on the shoulder.

June 19Jun 19 In work travel lexicon, I've begun hearing people use the term "co-locate" in the place of the word "travel." Eg: "Next week, we will be colocating to Chicago beginning Monday and ending on Thursday." What in the everlovin fuck? It serves no purpose, sounds almost kinky, and confuses the shit out of people. Why do fuckers think they are clever?
June 19Jun 19 fucking bagpipes. I'm of scotch decent, I suppose, based on my last name. I come for poor West Texas stock, so who the fuck knows. But, bagpipes are a fucking crime against humanity, and any cocksucker that plays them or causes them to be played should be put on trial in The Hague, and sent to Gitmo for life. I'd rather listen to my tree guy's woodchipper, or the noise from the trash trucks that make 3 passes every Monday morning, or my fucking cunt ex-wife running her piehole.
