    So I've heard, and I'm disappointed that we can't view cricket on television here. The only Cricket I've seen in my life is a darts game.

      Ahh, Darts, one of the few games remaining where it is acceptable to drink vast quantities of alcohol while playing.

          We connected my new substation to the grid this morning and nothing smoked. Talk about depressing! It's like paying a gazillion bucks to see a F-1 race live and nobody crashes! Or going to a bullfight and having the referees call it a draw. Or attending a cockfight where all the chickens are legless, flightless mutants. Or taking LSD for the first time and seeing only your mother-in-law in the buff. Or marrying your high school sweetheart and realizing on your honeymoon that you'd really rather be with a big, hairy, tattooed biker. Or taking a cruise to Mexico and finding that, because of the swine flu, the ship is only allowed to circle Catalina Island 40 times. Or taking 6 doses of performance enhancing herbal supplements before a date with the girl of your dreams, only to learn over dinner that she wants to be "just friends." Okay, it was less exciting than I thought it would be, but I'm glad it worked as designed... On to the next two on my list. :-D

                When I was a student I asked an Indian and an Englishman at a dinnerparty to explain the rules of cricket to me... Two hours later, we left them in my kitchen still discussing/arguing the rules, to go for a pubcrawl! I still don't have a clue about the rules of cricket, but I understand that it involves a lot of tea.

                  Wouldn't it be funny if high school sweetheart is a big, hairy, tattooned biker? :) My older son went to his first date yesterday, he is only 15.

                    I'm disappointed in you, Roger. First rule of electrical engineering:

                    Tune for maximum smoke.
