Gotta youtube "how to play cricket" today... I am so ignorant, but should probably learn. There is a growing indian population near us and the city just built a beautiful new multi-use field, but in general it's a new cricket pitch.

I’d rather lay in a warm bath and open up a vein.

Well that escalated quickly

Speaking of T&F, something for Horace to practice in his front yard...

I think we'd all rather you did that.

[jon-nyc]

Yes. Can you imagine how insufferable I’d be as a cricket fan?

I doubt we'd notice much difference

@jodi That is great, thanks!

Long jumping is also compelling.

You can tell from the tan lines that the outfit is different when the cameras are on. That's generous of them.

Ive noticed that long jumpers always seem to hop at the beginning of their run for the first few steps before starting to run fast. I wonder why that is vs. just start running?

Italians brought so much to our world. They really are a notch above any other culture. Bring this back and say bye bye to MMA. I hate MMA. Bunch of heathens.

I was making progress on answering this question, but then the video got taken down, and now I can no longer do my research.

Timing.
