The Cricket World Cup has started in India and runs from Feb 19th to April 2nd. It has all the major Test Nations playing along with several of the Associate nations to make up the numbers and spring an upset now and again. Group A Group B ...
Out of 5.9 million brackets filled out at ESPN.com, only 2 (TWO) had the correct final four. I love seeing the top seeds go down (unless it's my team, of course). I'm no VCU fan, since my sister went to Richmond, but god bless 'em for taking...
So what's going on around the leagues? Give a team report, ask question, etc. Yankees: Didn't land Lee, Pettitte retired and AJ is still expected to be our #3. So Yanks are short a starter or two. I really like Ivan Nova and think he can do a...
I'm quite partial to a game of Civilisation II or Colonisation (the original). They were both out in the mid-1990's but for just direct playability and fun they're hard to beat. I see Civ V is coming out soon but I've played both Civ III and...
Who's Mike?
Pretty simple. Someone posts a quote and everyone tries to guess what tv show, book, movie, whatever, it came from. The person who gets it right posts the next reference. I'll start with an easy one. "Let me explain, no there is too much, let...
The rules are simple: You ask a question, the next poster answers it, and then they have to ask a question. If you were a tree, what kind of tree would you be?
I keep telling people that every time the Packers win a game God kills a kitten, but I don't think they believe me. And now they're going to the Super Bowl. Sigh.
Some close matches so far. What do you/s think of Australia's policy of having a different captain for Tests, ODI and T20? I think it's absurd. No wonder the team has no cohesion!
Remember the fuss that was made a few years ago when some mischievous scientists disseminated an article that meant absolutely nothing, and it got taken seriously in various media? Good, because I don't remember the story well enough to Google it...
See, it's like the Oregon Trail only with zombies. I just started playing tonight, but I don't know if I'm going to make it. My party consists of Zuul, Marsilia, Rabbit, hobbler, and Sarah. Marsilia and Rabbit have both been bitten by zombies,...
Well?

Its only been 13 years in the making, but it looks as though patience will be rewarded. Coming in 2011 from Gearbox, Duke Nukem Forever is back. It has been seeen and played and gives hope to everyone who has been waiting for so long. I hope...
I'm Spartacus.
It's that time again, where one of the oldest rivalries takes place. Last time, England won 2-1 when Australia came to visit in 2009. But last time England travelled to Australia in 2006/07, Ossie bowler Glenn McGrath got his wish with a 5-0...
Right. Now that WEC is no more, I've finally started looking into it. Man, these tiny guys are amazing. Some of the best fighting I've ever seen - definitely some of the most exciting. If you haven't seen it yet, check out Anthony Pettis' kick...
http://www.foddy.net/Athletics.html This annoying game. If he were real, I pity his face.
Inspired by What Exit's kid. Please choose a winner and move on. Disturbing and unfair battles are encouraged. I begin: Paul Prudhomme or Roger Ebert?
what's in your clipboard to this thread.
I have no idea how well this will work here if it will work at all. They used to play it on the dope sometimes. Everyone is sorted onto two teams and each post is considered a pass. If three players from the same team post sequentially, it is...
Every night leading up to Christmas, I shall be posting a new Christmas-y themed image on the board for you to find. I'll even give hints as to where the image might be found. Sounds easy, right? Ah ha! There's a catch. The images are not going...
It can be for any kind of board. Write the trainwreck OP, and tell us what kind of board you'd post it on to start some fun. (Not that any of us would ever do such a thing for real, of course. Let your inner troll out here!)
Bears vs. Vikings on Monday Night Football. I think it's been snowing all day in Minneapolis...should be fun! BEAR DOWN!
Christmas is coming, the goose is getting fat Please put a penny in the old man's hat If you haven't got a penny, a ha'penny will do If you haven't got a ha'penny, then... What?
Well it looks like Pacquiao is laying claim to be the best boxer on the planet follownig his round by round demolition of Margarito and Haye won in a very, very one sided match against Harrison. Anyone see either of these matches, although to...
Finally! This day has been long in coming and we don't even know the reason why. Did ESPN finally listen to their fans or did Morgan do something stupid behind the scenes instead of just on the air? Morgan's contract is expiring and...
The Googlescape is a very big place. You can Google almost anything, no matter how absurd, and get some hits. So here is the challenge: choose any 5-letter string that is easily pronounceable by a native English speaker (so, "qzkwk" is out, but...
It seems that Pakistan's wicket keeper decided that he would rather not hang around in Dubai and caught a plane to London. He is currently in police custody citing death threats against him and his family since he refused to co-operate with match...
Guess the identity of the dead guy by asking a yes or no questions, one at a time. Once the question is answered, make a guess.
Everyone has good days and everyone has bad days and some days always appear better than others. All you have to do is list the days of the week in your order of preference. For me, it's Saturday Friday Sunday, Monday
It has happened a few times in football (soccer to the yanks), where a player is transferred between clubs. Not just any clubs though, lifelong hated rivals, which means that the player is villified for a long time afterwards. It is usally made...
While filming the next Pirates of the Carribean, Jonny Depp turned up to a school in full costume with a couple of lackeys in response to a letter from one of the pupils asking for help in taking over the school. Having got there, what did...
A couple years ago, Liverpool FC, one of the greatest of the English Football Clubs with a long and proud history was bought by a comple of Americans called Hicks and Gillette using debt financing and a little bit of their own money. After a...
With England having won the first test by quite a distance, the second test is underway at Edgbaston. It's another sorry performance from the Pakistan batting lineup, bowled out for 72 in their first innings. I really feel sorry for them, because...
It's the bi-annual Golf Tournament between the USA and Europe being played at Celtic Manor. Currently the trophy is held the by USA after their victory at the Valhalla Golf Club. Big talking points will be how does Tiger Woods react to having to...
In which we determine through an incontrovertibly objective scientific process what the absolute best kind of pie is: 1a) Apple 1b) Peach 2a) Blueberry 2b) Cherry 3a) Strawberry 3b) Strawberry-Rhubarb
The Commonwealth Games 2010 is being held in India in less than two weeks and the stories coming out about the athletes accomodation, the sports facilities, security arrangements are very worrying if they expect the games to go ahead. The main...
Sometimes, all it takes a moment of craziness to go from a hero to a blundering fool. FAR Rabat Goalkeeper Khalid Askri thought he had saved a penalty in a Moroccan Cup game playing for against Moghreb Fes. It started so well, diving low to...
One word per post, use the number so I know which entry you're taking. 1. verb 2. musical instrument 3. number 4. number 5. noun 6. quotative verb 7. name 8. female name
You know the rules, dumbos. One word per post, include the number so I can keep track, and if two people try for the same one I'll use whichever gets posted first. 1. noun - place 2. adjective 3. plural noun - type of person 4. male dumbo 5....
A question that came up over the weekend and I didn't have an answer for. Can you name any strong lead female character in a videogame who has a family and background which exists and is interacted with during the game? The catch. She has to be...
...let's talk about Stephen Strasburg. :bb: Are you excited about him? Do you have doubts or reservations? What do you think? I mean, that was one hell of a debut for a pitcher. And I know that most "can't miss" pitching prospects who come...
Taking candidates first and then I will add a poll to this. I nominate myself & Skald the Rhymer. Now I myself am an admitted Geek that plays D&D both here and IRL. I am a Tolkien Fanatic and love old Trek enough that I was a Trekkie. I...
Sock Chate will be occurring on Wednesday, August 25th at 9PM EST! I will be setting up a free chat room at http://www.chatzy.com/ for this purpose. I will ask the socks a series of Dating Game type questions for them to answer in character,...
According to humans, this is the cute story of a long tailed macaque monkey adopting a young ginger kitten in the forests of Bali. What do you think they are saying?
Because Panther Squad has been bugging me to post one of these, here is a little game involving the music player of your choice (or iPod/MP3 player). What you do is you for each of these questions whatever the next song that comes up in...
Have you seen this one already? http://drunkmenworkhere.org/170 It's pretty tough but doable if you're willing to spend time on it.
Here is a little pitch perception test. I have no idea how meaningful the test is but it seems at least somewhat reputable. http://jakemandell.com/tonedeaf/ My score: 55.6% correct "possible pitch percetion or memory deficit" (4th...
