Dutch cricket international found dead

And it's believed he partied with Smith and Boucher on the night.

You really are a bit sick, aren't you.

Having to party with Smith and Boucher, would suggest he's probably topped himself.

No, I'm just reporting what's in the article. Maybe being permanently on the gear is starting to make you judge others harshly.

I'm sorry, but based on your history on this forum, I can't help but think that you're kind of, in some small incy wincy teenie weenie way, trying to hint that this guy's death is somehow Graeme Smith's fault.

I mean come on. You're supposedly an Aussie, living in Australia, and you make it clear every day that you don't like South Africa, yet why were you looking through some obscure South African news website? Is this what came up after your daily googling of Graeme Smith?

Oh, the irony.

The sad thing is, that Red repeats this BS daily on another forum I browse...

JKL please don't tell us which one.

Is there any mention of Vaughan on there perchance?

It's actually a major website, not some obscure one, and I like checking it out because it covers crickets stories from every country, whereas the Aussie ones just focus on our news.

Aussie websites in not concentrating on Graeme Smith shock.

Why would they, we don't respect his ability. But ours tend to be very ozcentric so I like to scour ones which provide a broader insight into the cricketing landscape.

And then make obtuse references that somehow evolve into a derisory comment about Smiff.
Hmmmmmm ...

There's nothing obtuse about the references.

In a "mentally slow" meaning of the word, yes there is.

Every word uttered by Red about Sniff is mental , I think you will agree!

I think she shows great mental agility being able pull together bit and pieces of obscure news and come up with a juicy morsel for her Smiff obsession to fed on.

I wonder if you really meant obscure but followed in the fine tradition of malapropian madness.

I hear Smith has been sighted on the grassy knoll.

You certainly have a point Mrs V.

No.
I originally typed obscure - but then realized that would be paying you an unnecessary compliment.

I specifically chose obtuse because I believed you to be mentally slow.
However, having appreciated Mrs. V's reference to your "mental agility", I stand corrected.

Nevertheless, this has nothing whatsoever to do with either Mal nor his Props nor his Isms.

So who did cause the holocaust, the Austrian with the comedy moustache or - dum dum dum *narrows eyes, breathes in, dramatic pause* - Graeme Smith?

Smith. Look, there he is, behind you. Look behind you.

I think Red's Van der Bra may be slipping.

Surely his missing ball made him more remarkable than his comedy moustache.

He wasn't remarkable, Himler had something similar.
