Is it? I think that's fantastic. A variation of melee do doubt, much like my cat's name.

[astronelson 339]

3363. Ooh, nice kitty.

[Korot 6]

3364. Why are her eyes so white and glowing?

[Muck308 55]

3365

Could be the flash, could be the blind eyes. She can't see very well and often walks into walls. I later found out from the women I got her from that more cats from that litter are blind. I suspect inbreeding is the cause. But I also suspect Maylay can still see a bit, as she stalks William and Mary Jane about the apartment on a regular basis.

3366. Beats having red eye

[astronelson 339]

3367. Vision impairment vs. red eye... hm... I choose red eye.

3370. Just enjoying my day off from soccer. We practice everyday from 4:00 till around 6:00 pm. So I thought I would try and post on every game. Didn't have enough time to do it though.

[SounderBruce 173]

3371.

Sounders play Vancouver in BC at 4:00 PM!

[Larks2242 251]

3372. What are the Sounders?

[Wreckingball Man 10]

Sounders are an MLS team.

And I think a "sounder" is someone from Puget Sound.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that foosball is more fun to play and to watch than actual soccer.

[Larks2242 251]

3375. I'd rather watch salamanders climb trees outside then watch soccer but thats just me also Wreakingball you forgot your number.

[SounderBruce 173]

3376.

What?!?!? Are there no other Sounders fans on ST! *cries*

[Duke87 1,070]

[Larks2242 251]

Ah, but not all of us are from the US.

I don't mind football (soccer) all that much, actually.

[Roger51 381]

3380

Ah soccer, a whole bunch of people acting just to get a penalty!!

[Vahr 341]

NE Ohio has a pretty big amount of soccer/futball... and a pretty big amount of USFootball. In fact my best friend is one of the best soccer players.

[Muck308 55]

3382

It's odd because so many kids around here play soccer, but nobody seems to care about any professional league. I know two people who follow it.

[Duke87 1,070]

(3383)

Well, some games are fun to play but boring to just watch.

Think about it. Do you enjoy playing solitaire? Do you enjoy watching someone play solitaire? How about bowling?

[astronelson 339]

3384. Test Cricket is OK to watch, even though not much happens for 5 days straight.

[Hamish 1,369]

3385. Test cricket is fantastic to watch. You are assured of something to watch for the five days that it is on.

One dayers are better though. New Zealand have beaten Australia twice now, only losing the game last night. 1-0 in the T20s and 1-1 in the ODIs Going to the next game on tuesday, should be good

[Larks2242 251]

3386. Baseball pawns all then football then basketball then watching insects crawl.

[Korot 6]

3387. What is test cricket?

[astronelson 339]

3387. 3388

From Wikipedia...

Test cricket is the longest form of the sport of cricket. It is generally considered the ultimate test of playing ability in the sport.

The name "Test" may have arisen from the idea that the matches are a "test of strength and competency" between the sides involved. It seems to have been used first to describe an English team that toured Australia in 1861–62, although those matches are not considered Test matches today. The first officially recognised test match commenced on 15 March 1877, contested by England and Australia at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG), where Australia won by 45 runs. England won the second ever match (also at the MCG) by four wickets, thus drawing the series 1-1. This was not the first ever international cricket match however, which was played between Canada and the United States, on 24 and 25 of September 1844.

A test match to celebrate 100 years of Test cricket was held in Melbourne from 12 to 17 March 1977. Coincidentally, Australia also won this match by 45 runs, precisely the same margin as the first Test match in 1877, which the 1977 match was commemorating.quote>

It is quite possibly the longest sport that can end in a draw, taking up to 5 days to finish.

[Larks2242 251]

3389. Who wants to watch the same game for 5 days, talk about the definition of boring.

[Korot 6]

3390. Or the definition of having to much time on one hands, for that matter. And before I, or anybody else, forgets:

Cricket could be made so much more exciting if the pitch was bricked off.

Darn you Korot, you posted while I was posting....
