      This article is from the UK, and nobody plays baseball over there.

          Two-frame screenshot of the 1990 "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" film showing Raphael talking to Casey Jones. Caption: "Cricket? Nobody understands cricket! You gotta know what a crumpet is to understand cricket!"

            I maintain that Americans made baseball because no one had time for a game that lasts a week.

      So let’s get this straight: you’re driving along at night, a car driving toward you on the other side dazzles you with excessively bright lights, you roll down the window and grab your baseball bat, lean out the window and smash their headlights with the bat.

      But what do you do about the lights on the other side of the car? They’re not so easy to reach from your side of the road!

        That’s why knights of old had such long jousting sticks. Knock those shinny fuckers into the dirt

          One hand on your jousting stick, the other on the baseball bat, knee on the steering wheel. Love it!
