You know, I stopped shaving to think of something to write here. That worked out well.

Yeah, but there's no baseball leagues in Worcestershire :P
You should found one.
Yeah, because one man can get enough people interested in baseball around by me to get six teams of nine players, plus perhaps even a few substitutes.
It wouldn't work, I'm afraid.
congratulations coop =)
Thanks - just over 2 weeks and I can get my hands on the trophies.
I never really understand cricket.
I've been around cricket pitches for 25 years now, so I've picked it up. Watch Twenty-20 matches and you should be able to get the gist, if you're willing.
25 YEARS! wow i'll never really get into the sport but I did watch a few clips of it on youtube and got a little interested just the way they bat is weird.
Yeah, my dad used to play, so I was taken along to watch him with my mum and occasionally my grandparents. It kind of grows on you and I've no intention of giving it up.
I wouldn't say the bat is weird - there's a sweet spot there, just like on a baseball bat - they call this the middle, where the wood is thickest and the ball can really fly off there. The ball is heavier and I've seen it hit almost as far as a baseball (400+ feet) at out standards of the game, when the mighty heave is a "cultured shot"
I got all the Alice is dead medals.

Meh - I've been busy. I'm still trying to work out the lucky Rabbits Foot though - something to do with the one armed bandit?
No you, goon! Why would you think that? A rabbits foot is a lucky charm - think luck. What device found in the game requires luck?
Yeah, the one armed bandit is the slot machine - that's what I was getting at. I'm thinking either a massive winning streak on 1 in 1 or getting the jackpot on standard 1 in 100
Oh... Didn't know that. Yeah, just click handle for the slot machine repeatedly and eventually you'll get the medal. Alice is dead 3 was if a bit disapointing.
If that's it, then my god I'm bored by it.
dude ask luis if he can buy u those drinks at the ireland meet
I'm not going to the Ireland meet - I might not even make it to Manchester, but it's all academic. If I don't make it to those, he can buy me a jug of Pimms in London 2011!
ah well :( i had a nice time meeting you are one friendly dude..
Thank you very much - it was a pleasure to meet you as well. I may not have heard much of you before (enough, but not much), but now you're firmly in the growing list of awesome people that are also Newgroundites :D
Is saying FUCK YOU in a review abusive even if they're just repeating a line from the movie?
Send me a PM with a link to the review and I'll investigate - it's a grey area, at best.
This News post has went from Your season of cricket to you teaching us Cricket 101 pretty much. Which now I have a question, what are the wodden type post behind the batter?
The stumps - three at each end, capped by two bails, which bridge between the off (furthest from the batsman) stump and middle and then the middle and leg (nearest to the batsman) stumps. It is the bowler's job to try and hit these with the ball, while the bat tries to score runs by hitting the ball and running 22 yards to exchange places with his partner.
Good enough for you?
I hadn't checked out your profile before now coop. Now that I know you live in the UK, I will now read all of your posts in a british accent XD
You don't want my English accent - it's a Black Country accent and apparently very difficult to understand :P
fucking hell you have an awesome beard :D
Yeah, just never shaved after the meet and it just kept growing back. Perhaps by next year's meet it will be 6-8" long and just a large point :P
How long did it take you to drink all of the contents in the bottle?
I also like your trophy. Do you have it hanged up on a wall or in a throphy case or shelf?
I haven't opened the bottle yet - you can't rush a bottle of fine scotch.
The trophy is on top of the sideboard in the lounge. I am very impressed with it. I have to say that it's the most impressive trophy to gather dust in my career so far :D
Hi. So, I just signed-up here, and was browsing and came across your writing. Then, I saw your picture.. and was like, OH, it's.. that guy. Didn't we date back in 2005 for a few months? I think I might have been rude to you in the end.. sorry if I was. Hope everything's going well for you! :)
O.o
Wow, has it really been that long?
I'm officially "that guy"
Domo
Did you get any trophies?
Coop
Yes, we won a shield for the Invitation Cup and I'm sure that we will be presented with the league trophy as well, before our presentation evening on the 25th of September. I'll try to get pictures for you :)
