Yeah, Wikkit, I bet you think you’re so clever.
I’ve noticed for several months now that you tend to be the last post in the Pit Rules thread at the top of the BBQ Pit.
Wikkit is always the last post in the “sticky.”
Sticky Wikkit.
I bet you think you’re pretty clever.
I’ve about had it with you.
huh?
Sticky Wikket. Hehe.
Now you’ve done it Scylla. Now every newbie and smart alec this side of usenet is gonna try to be the last poster in a sticky thread.
But is he cricket?
Excuse me while I change my name to Fingers.
Wikkit wit.
So that’s a problem?
Veb
Can someone explain to me why sticky wikkit is funny?
Hey, someone finally noticed.
Seriously, my heart went pitter-patter when I saw I was being pitted by Scylla. Nifty. Even spelled my nick correctly.
And you never replied to my e-mail, you typoing bastard, it still says “of”.
Is this a joke? Is there something else going on here behind the scenes? I admit to not having ever so much as opened the thread in question but I did check and Wikkit only has 5 posts in that thread. Wasn’t it you, Scylla, that recently had something like 128 posts in a single thread?
Please tell me if I’m being whooshed here, I can take a joke, it just seems like the wrong forum for it.
Gettin’ Wikkit with it

Brighteyes, I’d suggest a Google search, but that’s been rather a sticky wicket of late.
Whack a Wikkit!
Stick it in a Wikkit!
Wake up and Wikkit!
astro, I’m afraid it’s contagious.
Yes. Actually a pun.
Sticky Wicket is a phrase from the British game, Cricket.
The bowler (kind of like a pitcher in baseball) throws the ball at the wicket which is kind of like three columns with a bar accross the top about one foot tall. The batter tries to hit the ball so the ball can’t hit the wicket. The object is to knock down the wicket which can take a few hits from the ball before it is totally knocked over. A stickt wicket is one that is harder than normal to knock over.

Oh and it’s a euphenism for a difficult problem or issue.

You remember the Devo song, don’t you?
“It’s not to late to Wikkit, Wikkit good.”
Oh…Wow. Maybe I’m just in an asshole mood tonight but that just doesn’t strike me as the least bit funny. And what’s with everyone posting jokes in the pit lately? I don’t want to sound like a junior mod (yikes, that’s twice today I’ve said that) but this is just blatantly in the wrong forum.
Oh well, this thread sucks, but I’ll probably be back tomorrow to apologize for saying that :).
Ahhhh… Cisco! … Ahhhh Pancho!
Crisco Cisco!
Cisco periodically suffers from humor interruptus, the main symptom of which is a sudden, inexplicable inability to take a joke. Another example.
That’s one of the more interesting descriptions I’ve seen of how cricket is played 
The word ‘wicket’ in cricket means two different things [sup]1[/sup]- both the sticks that the bowler is trying to knock down (simplifying quite a bit), and to the twenty two yards of grassy earth that is between where the bowler ‘bowls’ the ball from, and where the batsman is standing. Unlike in baseball, the bowler in cricket bowls the ball in a way that usually bounces before reaching the batsman.
A diagram:
|-|=======================|
1-2===========3===========4
1- the stumps or wicket - if these are hit, the batsman is ‘out’
2 - where the batsman stands, defending his stumps
3 - the ‘wicket’ (22 yards long) which is the basis of our humorous phrase
4 - Where the bowler throws (or ‘bowls’) the ball from
[sub](fieldsmen, umpires and streakers not pictured)[/sub]
This is where the phrase ‘sticky wicket’ is from. If it has rained, the wicket (as in the 22 yards) is covered over by usually a plastic covering. If the wicket gets too wet, or otherwise affected by the weather, it can mean that it becomes very hard to be the batsman. The ball might bounce unpredictably, or it might skid through after bouncing. Therefore, “being on a sticky wicket” means you’re like the batsman facing a difficult and unpredictable time trying to stop your ‘stumps’ (they’re the other type of wicket which are wooden poles) from being hit.
I’m sure that I’ve managed to thoroughly confuse anybody who isn’t familiar with cricket and amuse/bemuse anyone who is familiar with it.
Well, at least I’m in the pit 
[sup]1[/sup] Actually, just to confuse us more, there’s another meaning of wicket - when a batsman is out, the bowler is said to have ‘taken a wicket’.
Hee hee hee.
