Jan: Thanks! I don't recognize sports names even from sports Americans like. Most of what I know about cricket is based on Bill Bryson's surreal account in "In a Sunburned Country." In any case, "Hair" is an odd name... certainly to me.

"Hair barred..." Makes me think: Was it done with a barrette?

Chuck: Apparently, you're the kind of drunk whose drinking causes him to perceive other people as drunk.

Ruth Anne: You make it sound like a Bugs Bunny cartoon.
