That girl is going to miss and hurt that dog. Do you see his eyes? They're "what the hell are you doing?!" eyes.


Anyway...
I like playing croquet, but havn't played since I was a kid.
I wish I had a warm day, lemonade, a croquet set, and a big yard.

Croquet is one of the sports that easily irritates me. I usually try to do things that are too ridiculous to work, especially considering my nooby unskills with making the ball go where I want it to. In summary, I wish that croquet and its players would die.

I'd play it if I could use a flamingo and hedghog.

You're just saying that... Actually, I'd have to play too if there was an Alice in Wonderland croquet set that people were playing with... I'm surprised that I can't find one online yet...

I went, with my date, to an english country park on Sunday. Watched two old folks, white floppy hats and all, play croquet on a lawn surrounded by privet hedge cut into the shapes of animals.. squirrels, swans and the like.

Afterwards, I had a cup of tea, and little sandwiches with the crusts cut off.

You'd never guess I was English.

Despite coming from one of the most ostentatious places, I have never played croquet.

One of my greatest delights was finding the croquet tournament grounds outside Seaside, Florida. So frustrated that I didn't have my mallets.
