        There was a black cricket[^] in my shower last night. I tried to flush it down the plug-hole with hot shower water, but it just flopped around and was too big to fit through the holes. It couldn't really jump because it was too waterlogged, but it was making a valiant effort to get at my throat. After I'd worn it down with hot water for a bit, I tried to forcefully poke it down the plug hole with a stick, but its body was too large, and I could feel it squishing in a particularly nasty way. Finally, I scooped up its still struggling and grossly solid body with some toilet paper and flung it down the toilet. Then I washed a couple of extraneous legs down the hole and took my shower. It was somewhat of a thrill I suppose - in the same way that spiders and cockroaches are a thrill. X|

            Yeah, unfortunately I'm not watching the it too. I was just checking the score on cricket tab I have in my Live messenger. Even watching the score was so thrilling :-D that I kept clicking on the "Refresh" button a millon times to see the updated score. I didn't guess that India would win. Normally we let the opponent win if the pressure mounts all over. lol but this time great we've won :) And thus making the 7th and the final match a worth-watching one, that would happen after few days. The series's been levelled now. 3-3.

                my cats teamed up and killed a cricket last weekend. it was one of the rare times that they weren't trying to kill one another. magical animals, crickets.

                  I had a picture of two cave crickets from Slaughter Canyon Cave in Carlsbad Caverns national monument... but I can't post it, it was not kid-sister friendly.

                        I can honestly say it is the only cricket match I have watched, and I have the pictures to prove it. ;P of course, it does change the entire thread in retrospect.... talking about cricket matches and go India.... hmmmmmm

                            You beat me to it. Cricket and thriller just don't belong in the same sentence. It is wrong on so many levels...
