I blame Princess Margaret. The woman had a thing for Glenlivet and Ringo. Probably shrieked in the Queen's ear nonstop until she relented. It got them their MBEs. The yelling from Margaret, plus the band sold more records than Her Majesty that year. Eric Burdon was going to try out for the Pentathalon. Only thing was he couldn't ski. He could shoot empty bottles of Watney's off of the heads of the statuary surrounding his swimming pool though. He beat John Entwistle who was a crack shot with a flintlock. Jimi tied him, but he had that Yank army background as a paratrooper.Bill Wymannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3052406779197845814.post-68290430135229624362014-02-12T08:23:39.000-05:002014-02-12T08:23:39.000-05:00Love it, Basil!

Went through my own personal Beatlemania and believe me, it was not easy being a Beatles fan in Jr. High--funny how all those kids who thought I was a weirdo back then now act as if being a Beatles fan were the most natural thing in the world (which it is, of course). Thank heaven for Cleveland's Channel 8 and the 4 o'clock movie they played every weekday, back in the day.Mike in OHnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3052406779197845814.post-23810224193418882012014-02-12T09:18:45.000-05:002014-02-12T09:18:45.000-05:00Can you explain Cricket now too?Can you explain Cricket now too?Geoff Whislernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3052406779197845814.post-8543588571903706042014-02-12T09:45:08.000-05:002014-02-12T09:45:08.000-05:00Yeah, and LacrosseYeah, and LacrosseJimmynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3052406779197845814.post-17236970436672775952014-02-13T04:32:13.000-05:002014-02-13T04:32:13.000-05:00There's just no going wrong with this film.There's just no going wrong with this film.Charonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3052406779197845814.post-91116654447401679162014-02-14T19:27:30.000-05:002014-02-14T19:27:30.000-05:00When can we see the explanation of Cricket?

I'm not sure, but I believe the rules explained in the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy are for a more robust game than is played in Britain and parts of the former British Empire.Ogrrrenoreply@blogger.com
