So much joke fodder in one article. . . butt boy, wickets (sticky and otherwise), the world is Salman's oyster . . . ach, the room is spinning. . .

"...resulted in Butt's recall ".
These recalls have gotten out of hand! When Dave becomes President, I hope he spanks the butts of those in the Consumer Product Safety Commission for stooping to such nonsense.
Well, I've had mine for 58 years and I am not going to respond to any such recall notice!

That's assinine!

It sure makes "Albin" look like a nice name.

insomniac & charleyfoxtrot ---

L!O!L!
(TNX El, keep encouraging insomniac ... I like the anagrams too, tho don't take the trouble to create my own ... )

I like Salman Butt I like tilapia better.
Posted by: charleyfoxtrot | January 03, 2005 at 10:22 AM
How'd I get in front of Lairbo? I read that post, then added my own ...
must be magic ... (that, plus I think the blog clock is off by 3-6 minutes ...)
(charleyfoxtrot: personally, I prefer Walleye or Northern Pike over Salman or Tilapia.)
Posted by: Uncle Omar | January 03, 2005 at 10:24 AM
He'd have been lucky to get the schoolyard nickname "Fish Tail". Hell, I'd have been lucky to get that one.
Posted by: Lairbo | January 03, 2005 at 10:24 AM
"If the selectors show patience, however, there should be plenty more good days to come for Butt."
i am convinced the writer of this article has a tongue-in-cheek sense of humor.
Posted by: aye | January 03, 2005 at 10:29 AM
I didn't understand one word of that article or even what it was about (don't tell me) except for the fact that Butt is a "left-handed opener"! Not a good visual!
insomniac, keep up the good work - Bravo
Posted by: Eleanor | January 03, 2005 at 10:32 AM
uh-oh insomniac - someone else did an angram on the Vicy Tisdial site - hurry up over there and check it out -
we don't need no stinkin' competition!
but yours are better!!!!
Posted by: Eleanor | January 03, 2005 at 10:48 AM
Eleanor,
Just posting quickly, to get a time close to yours ...
This could be the most intimate we've been since before Christmas ...
(did u get my email?)
Posted by: Uncle Omar | January 03, 2005 at 10:52 AM
Like his boyhood idols ... Butt is a left-handed opener.
A left-handed butt opener? Ai carambu
Posted by: MOTW | January 03, 2005 at 10:58 AM
and then my next post (exposing the blog clock for the fraud it really is) has a time seven minutes after the real time on my screen ...
WTF? (to coin a phrase)
Eleanor -- imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, so don't think of my anagram efforts (still in the works) as "competition" ... just havin' fun ...
Posted by: Uncle Omar | January 03, 2005 at 10:58 AM
Now I KNOW (not no) the blog clock is messed up!
I posted @ 52 minutes after the hour and that's what showed up ... but MOTW's was six minutes behind mine, and IN PLACE @ 53 MINUTES AFTER THE HOUR ... !!!
(Just 'cuz I'm paranoid doesn't mean someone isn't out to get me ... )
Posted by: Uncle Omar | January 03, 2005 at 11:02 AM
I'm going away for awhile ...
my WTF post turned up four minutes ahead of the post that inspired it ...
let's see when this one happens ...
back in about 10 minutes (mebbe), but on whose (not who's, or Hu's) time, only time will tell ...
Posted by: Uncle Omar | January 03, 2005 at 11:07 AM
Yet another key quote:
"Nazir has only played eight matches - with four different opening partners."
Impressive numbers. Maybe I'll try the "looking for new opening partner" line this Valentine's day.

u.o. - yes I got your (not you're) e-mail - am planning to respond shortly -
Try to chill on the time thing - the blog clok is off not only by minutes, but by hours as well - I feel the best way to handle it would be to think of it as existential time...
"If I could put time in a bottle...."

Unfortunately, my butt shows a long term growth potential.
Posted by: Jeff | January 03, 2005 at 11:54 AM
*sigh* if only the men could have long growth potential on the opposing side from their butt ...

Jeff
Unfortunately, my butt is the result of long-term growth potential.

U.O. (not O.U.)
I read your post before I made my comment.

How cheeky.
Posted by: oscar | January 03, 2005 at 12:10 PM
"Salman" is Pak for "Seymour".
Posted by: Brad | January 03, 2005 at 12:22 PM
hunny bunch --
L!O!L!
Where's Rod Serling when we need him?
(Someone already answered that on another thread. Mr. Serling is smart enuf to be/stay dead ... or something like that ... ya, well ...)
Posted by: Uncle Omar | January 03, 2005 at 01:24 PM
Oh yeah, this guy's got potential up the wazoo. Mark my words: Butt is going to be HUGE!
Posted by: Corn | January 03, 2005 at 05:25 PM
As Salman Butt lifted his bat to acknowledge applause...
...Takes quite an ego to do that, doesn't it?
Posted by: coffeedrinker | January 03, 2005 at 06:49 PM
