great cricket commentaries of our time
Sep. 27th, 2009 04:20 pmWarning: not for those of delicate sensibilities.
Just now, from Cricinfo's ball-by-ball commentary on the England v. South Africa One Day International:
Anderson to Parnell, no run, slower bouncer from Anderson, Parnell was through with his shit before the ball arrived . . .
I mean, how slow was that bouncer?
the Prince and the Rainforests
Jul. 13th, 2009 10:40 amFriend David V. Barrett recently told me about the Prince of Wales's Rainforest Project, and suggested I go to the site and register my support. (It's a worthy and extraordinarily important cause, and it costs nothing to enlist, as it were, so naturally I strongly exhort you to do likewise.)
David added:
Having signed up I was taken to a page asking if I'd like to send details of the campaign to three or more of my friends (no, I'll do it this way instead! -- please go to the website and sign up to show your support) by listing their emails. The submit page has the usual anti-spambot device of typing in two words shown in script. Now, I know these change every time [. . .] but these two presumably random words, on a page eliciting support for a campaign run by HRH Prince of Wales, were . . . "Elizabeth deceased".
