@Chikuku: if the right-wing get their way everything WILL be religion & anyone who says otherwise gets 1 year in prison.

If everything were religion that might just be okay if I could get the tax-exempt status too.

“In the big inning, God created Heaven on Earth. And it was without form, and void. God separated the dirt from the grass. He called the grass Outfield and the dirt He called Infield. God made the Infield a 90-foot square and the Outfield not less than 400 feet to center and 320 feet down the lines. He declared this Fair Territory. All other territory, God then declared, was Foul….” (Glenn Birkemeier)
Remember, Eve stole first, Adam stole second, but then God threw them both out. Cain struck out Abel, and the Prodigal Son came home. Then too, the Giants and the Angels were rained out.

I was watching a fight once, and a hockey game broke out. The only thing more boring is soccer.

Greetings & best wishes to Wiley from Australia, I love your well-draughted pen & ink style & your astute observations. Needless to say I read your comix Religiously! BTW the most boring sport of which you are thankfully spared in your part of the world is cricket. Cricket IS a religion & it is the most tedious, snobbish, incomprehensible & endless form of perdition imaginable (matches go for 3-4 days under a hot sun, with all the action of a chess match). There are no fights, just quiet racial vilification & the occaisonal hit to a thick skull or shin-bone of a lead-centred, leather coated ball thrown at full force up to a speed of 90 mph. There!! I’ve included Religion, post-colonial elitism, racism & violence. Best wishes again to Wiley .. & to all the diverse commentators!

I grew up in Cleveland, live in New York, and thanks to the job, the only ball park I’ve ever been on the field was Fenway….. I’m so confused!!!

Sticky wicket, jasc!
ccmills over 14 years ago
Jasc - you forgot to let people know that even though a cricket test match can go for five days - it can still end in a draw.
But baseball - America - home of the world series where there are how many countries playing?
Hmmmm
