I had the antipodes once, but they do this thing with rubber bands now to choke them off. Anyway, the reduction in anal bleeding was a blessing. I was starting to understand what women go though with their periods and, really, I never wanted to know that.

Hope yours clear up soon.

And for those keeping score England lost to the West Indies in the second test at Headingly. Test series now tied at one each; we'll get the bastards at Lords. ESPN does not carry enough cricket: I shall write to my senator to complain.

I think he's having a good run up at another attempt at humour here.

Good for them! I love it when the smaller nations win over the big league players. It encourages the sport in those countries, and makes for more audience.

ESPN doesn't carry enough of any real sport (football (real), cricket, rugby).

Just subscribe to Willow and you'll have as much TV cricket as anyone could desire or perhaps less. Losing to the Windies is no particular shock; losing to New Zealand would be :D

And rubato, aren't you confusing antipodes with polaroids?

Cricket... not only a sport of sight, but also sound.

I think polaroids are what Inuits suffer from.

Don't feel bad, a lot of people don't understand humor; a third according to Scott Adams.
