Nibbs XIII (Page 25)

Just saw the challenge announcement - nice theme... no idea about 'Superbowl' though.. despite the fact the network I work for broadcast it, oh and the fact i have actually watched it at least once...

I think the perception here down under is its all about the impressive ads  

Night!!!! 

At least your making the effort to watch...

Cricket on the TV here... and i just cant get engaged with it... its day 3 of a 5 day test.,.. 

I like the skiing and the snowboarding, but it's not very exciting right now.  

Cricket is a sport I completely don't understand.  We have some Indian friends who tried to explain it to me, but I still don't get it.  The multiple days thing really throws me. 

Thats Test matches... they have one dayers too which (as the title suggests) last just one day... more interesting, easier to understand too!

I grew up with it so I know how it works... its actually really simple and I guess thats why it seems so confusing... you expect there to be more to it...  

Yeah....I'm not so sure about the goat.  It's pretty disturbing.  Football logo would bother me way less. 

Like I said - take a month off and let someone else step up and do the work... thats how I got into challenges... I wanted one and there wasnt one organised that month so I set one up...

Just make sure you add glitter to your avatar if it is a loosing one! 

ARRRGH! I just went to get my chocolate biccies out of he cupboard and they have been EATEN!!!

THIS is why I eat so much junk... because if I dont eat it IMMEADIATLEY when I buy it he goes in and eats it all... not thinking that I paid for it and might be saving it... or intending on eating it over several days rather than in one sitting....

I seriously might have to start hiding the food in my room (well stuff that doesnt need refridgeration)

Am I being petty?  

It seems so complicated.  I'm willing to believe it's less complicated.  It would help if I had seen it more than once or twice. 

Oh Dee - repeat after me - if you cant run cross training, stepper, water running or walking can be used... please let your team captain know if this applies to you....

Is this your roommate eating your food?  If so, I don't think that's petty at all.  My roommates and I had an agreement that we wouldn't eat other people's food except for basics like butter, milk, sugar, etc.  It drove me crazy when they would eat lots of my stuff because I never ate theirs and I didn't shop as often as they did.

My husband eats my food sometimes and I feel a little petty getting mad at him.  Still, sometimes he should know not to eat my chocolate or ice cream.   

Maybe I should make my powerpuff girl glittery as a prize. 

The choice challenges are nice.  There have been months where I didn't do a challenge because it was something I didn't want to focus on.  I appreciate all the extra work.  It's awesome that you all have been doing that. 

haha probably... the closest sport I can think that its like is baseball?

one team is fielding, and they rotate the pitchers (called bowlers in cricket).

There are two guys hitting... and they run between two points (like bases but are made of wood and called wickets)

Each time they run between two points its counted... so 1,2,3,4 etc

The hitters (called batters) can get out if the ball is caught on the full or the ball hits the wickets (either on bowling or when they are running between the wickets - like in baseball where the person on base can catch the ball and make you out except instead they have to knock the wooden sticks instead)

Thats basically it.... each team has 10 members and all 10 have to be out before the next team gets to bat (in test cricket.... in one day cricket they bowl a set numbers of balls before the teams change over)

Team with the highest score wins...

Did I just make it more confusing???
