'How does that man stand!'

[Screeny]

I propose that baseball is for girls and cricket is the sport of gentlemen. Discuss.

It's CHESS you neanderthal!

[Screeny]

Ooooh....someone threw a chair. My, God! Someone is in serious danger of sitting down. Only girls throw chairs.....baseball playing girls!

[Mike225]

Is this secret code for "Waterman's drunk in chat?"

[Screeny]

No, it's plain English (the QUEEN'S English) for 'Screeny is both hatless and drunk in 'Chit-Chat'.

Ty Cobb once rushed into the stands and beat up a man with two broken arms.

HORDCORE!!!!

like the legend of the rent!

YO!

[Mike225]

On his way into the stands, he broke off two arms and beat the guy with them? He broke both of his arms beating the guy? Did he break both of the guys arms?

This needs clarification.

[Buckyrig]

The man he beat up had two broken arms.

Cobb beat him up for throwing something on the field. :blink:



Let's play a little game I like to call Find The Irony. :laugh:

Cricket has sledging. I love it. Example:

Rod Marsh & Ian Botham
When Botham took guard in an Ashes match, Marsh welcomed him to the wicket with the immortal words: "So Ian, how's your wife......and my kids?"

[Buckyrig]

Cricket has a friggin' Tea Break for crying out loud! :yawn:

[Newt]

Baseball and cricket are both for sissies. Real men are into synchronized swimming.

[Screeny]

..and a lunchbreak. Tis the sport of the civilised gentleman, not the uncultured, ball scratching colonial! :whistlin: Anyway, test matches can last up to 5 days. We have a version of baseball that's called 'rounders'....and it's played by schoolgirls :p

[Buckyrig]

You don't have shit.

Rounders is a Celtic game as I understand it. :p

[Screeny]

We have it for the simple reason that we have potatoes! Nothing is Welsh, Scottish or Irish...once the savages step over the border it's ours by God!

[Buckyrig]

*cough* potatoes are indigenous to the Americas. *cough*

:whistlin:

Which sports instrument can dispatch the most Zombies effectively, the baseball bat, or the cricket bat?

[Newt]

Let's go take our taters back! Who's with me?

[Newt]

Five iron!

[Screeny]

Sir Walter Raleigh brought potatoes to our shores therefore they are ours. The only reason the Irish girls brought rounders over here was because they poisoned their crops and had no balls left to play with. :p

Uhm...a rifle?

Skeet is a sport, right?

Sir Walter Raleigh set foot on our shores, therefore HE is ours. Give us our potatos back. We'll also take those Irish girls, thank you.

[Screeny]

as is Curling...and I've never seen anyone give a zombie a lethal 'brushing'.

[Screeny]

Sir Walter Raleigh set foot on our shores, therefore HE is ours. Give us our potatos back. We'll also take those Irish girls, thank you.

Poppycock! - America is still ours. We're just letting you borrow it!

You mean the Queen is letting you let us borrow it?

Lacrosse was originally played in a pit by America Indians to prepare for battle.

Eat That, MOFO!

[Newt]

I invented soccer.

[Buckyrig]

I invented socks and I invented gravy. I made up the cotton gin, but no one ever paid me.

[Screeny]

Lacrosse is a girls game. Any man that plays lacrosse is a ladyboy. Anyhoo, lacrosse clearly did the American Indians a world of good in preparing them for the onslaught of the settlers. I can think of no better defence than a stick with a net on the end when faced with a gun. :p

I invented the Spinning Jenny. Whilst on a tea break. We were 242-3 at the time.

I've been concussed by a croquet ball to the head. Went deaf in one ear for most of the day.

[Screeny]

I invented Kenny Rogers.

A shameful boast to be sure

[Buckyrig]

You shut your whore mouth.

He's the GAMBLER!

[Newt]

I assumed you meant Kenny Rogers Roasters.

Good God, man. Call yourself an Englishman! You'll be recounting tales of boule related bruises next, Frenchy! :p

[Screeny]

Formerly known as 'Kenny Rogers Chicken' which, I understand, was changed owing to the fact that it implied that Kenny was a chicken fucker.

Lacrosse balls have this funny habit that if you drop one straight down onto pavement, they bounce straight up once, then on the second bounce they hurtle off, rapidly, on an angle...and have a tendency to find one's nuts. :confused:

[Scott James]

I'm not really a big fan of cricket unless there is a big test series on. These games really seem to capture the imagination of the public in England and I had many a splendid drunken night when England competed for the Ashes back in 2005. I met one of my girlfriends and dated her for six months. Fond memories. Even if she was Austrailian.

[Screeny]

Under what circumstances would a man have the need to even touch a lacrosse ball let alone bounce one on the pavement? I'm confused and, once again, I have a hot ear! :confused:

Keep running your mouth about lacrosse. It's the Canadian National Sport.

You'll be at the mercy of an angry mob of Canad....BWAHAHAHAHA...I can't even finish that sentence. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Ooh! A twofer! if there's one thing more satisfying than plucking the Ashes out of the Aussie clutches, it's wiping the smug grin off their faces as they grimly limp out of the Rugby World Cup. Huzzah!

I invented the question mark.

You don't have shit.

Rounders is a Celtic game as I understand it. :p

How are you defining celtic? Everywhere from england to turkey was celtic at one point or another.

[Newt]

I thought they were just in Boston.

A-hyuk!

[Jon Dahl]

Five iron!
Yeah right, it'd wrap around the zombie's head on the first hit and then you'd be


Uhm...a rifle?

Skeet is a sport, right?

Baseball bat, or the cricket bat. Deciding which one could kill a zombie better would determine the better sport.

[Newt]

Yeah right, it'd wrap around the zombie's head on the first hit and then you'd be

I'd be....Buckyrig? Is that what you're saying?

[Scott James]

In defence of baseball, an aluminium (that's "Al-You-Min-EEE-Um") bat is a better weapon to defend your home with than a cricket bat.

You can take a hippo's head off with one of those bloody things. It's just not practical.

(Disclaimer: I know there is only the slimmest chance of my home being invaded by hippos - even hungry,hungry ones - but you get my point)

Incidentally, if it isn't to do with hunting, shooting or fishing (yeah, I know) then technically it is not a sport but a game.

Weird.

[Buckyrig]

Complete accuracy has no place in this farce!

Spin! Spin spin spin!!!

I can't spin with this shit...GET IT OUT OF HERE!

[Jon Dahl]

Yeah... Sorry, I was at work and was dealing with a customer, I kind of trailed off on helping her with her computer... But she's more prepared for a zombie attack now.

wooden baseball bat or aluminum? still waiting for a determination on this detail Jon

[Spacious Interior]

Corked. We're going for distance, right?

[Newt]

Modern regulation bat or Babe Ruth-style heavyweight bat?

Sixteen-penny nails?

[AthenaRose]

I quite like 20Twenty - it's all over in a couple of hours. Although cricketers wearing pyjamas still looks a bit odd.

[Buckyrig]

Corked. We're going for distance, right?

Corking a bat increased your bat speed, but decreases the mass of the bat which is important for tranferring the force of the swing into a long ball. So...it really depends on just how weak your little wrists are.

[Jon Dahl]

Do they make an aluminum Cricket-bat?

If not, than wooden. ;)

[Buckyrig]

Well, a baseball bat is going to experience less wind resistance than a cricket bat with it's "I have no hand-eye coordination" absurdly large striking surface. It's like the game was designed for Mr Magoo to play.

[Newt]

A cricket bat does give you the versatility of using it flat-on, as intended, or edge-on, in more of a chopping motion.

Axe-throwing is a sport that has not been discussed.
