britney spears is an anagram for presbyterian, in case you're wondering. i don't remember if i saw that on an earlier playlist or read it in the paper. |

if i had the money to either buy an existing sports franchise, or start a new one, i'd put a cricket team into the india premiere league. that shit is crazy. and profitable. |

I was reading Sports Illustrated online, and had to ask Google, "That Cherry Red Recs?", yep.... |

You'd be a smart man to do so, glenn. I've been having dreams about playing cricket lately, and I've never seen a game before, and barely understand how the game is played. I know I perused the wiki entry years ago, so there's that. |
