Wiki-cricket!

[xparrot]

So my brother just introduced me to a new game - Wiki-Cricket! In which you go to Wikipedia, hit the "Random article" link on the left, and keep clicking until you hit something cricket-related. (I ended up here after about 5 minutes of clicking, proving his point that apparently 1% of everything on Wiki is cricket-related. Or else "random" is heavily cricket-weighted for unknown reasons. Perhaps a Douglas Adams fan programmed it?)

This post is brought to you by It Is Too Late At Night, Gintama Will Drive You Mad, and the Letter(s) WTF.

You're made of sterner stuff than I am.

I gave up long before five minutes, after going through half of every soccer player ever to play in FIFA, representatives of every other major sport from baseball to NFL to hockey to sled dog racing, and more rap songs than I care to read about, much less hear, in a year.

I will post the meme, though, because I'm evil that way;)

*laughs* I hit baseball, hockey, and of course lots of soccer, but no rap songs! I did get lots of highways, though...

I'll have to try that out some time. BTW I just got the More of Our Canada magazine with my article in it. Yay. Happy. Happy.

Congrats on the article, that's great! ^^

Ha. I came to reread your OP fic after years out of the fandom, got waysided by all your fantastic Gintama talk, and then could not resist the cricket challenge. It may have taken me 9 and a half minutes, but I finally ended up with The Best Loved Game (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Best_Loved_Game), which is appropriate, really. Everything can be brought back to cricket if you try hard enough!

Hee, awesome! Apparently on Wiki they are very fond of it (more fond of soccer, but cricket's more fun to say!)

And heee, yes, Gintama may indeed have totally devoured my fangirl soul...
