Thanks - I'll have to start doing some serious looking.
Please...Wesley...why can't I stay?

Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon: San Francisco, May 19-21, 2006! Everything else, go here! Swag!

Goodnight sweet Buffistas - I'll go home and dream of you!

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
The game itself? It's leisurely compared to other professional sports.
Yeah, right. Have you ever seen cricket? Baseball is cricket with ADHD.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
Cricket isn't a sporting event.
Cricket is a military campaign with starched white underpants.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Baseball is cricket with ADHD.
And without tea and sandwiches.

If it's a military campaign, it's from WWI. A whole heap of not much happening punctuated by occasional frenzy. (Probably Gallipoli.)

Yep. That's it exactly - Gallipoli, without the trenches or the screams of anguish.
Although I suppose it could be a bit earlier - maybe the siege at Paeschaendale, during the Boer War? You know, people in climate-inappropriate clothing drinking tea as bodies fall around them...?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

There's no rule against tea and sandwiches with baseball.

There's no rule for them either. When's the last time the Dodgers broke for tea?

Ah, well, required. You've got me there.
I got sucked into a cricket match, or part of one, anyway. Australia vs the World. Looked up the rules in the encyclopedia and still could not figure out what was going on. Even so, it was pretty fin to watch. I must have not hung in long enough to see the tea and sandwiches break.
I'm only staying at the hotel Saturday night, so I hope the various readings will not be too early in the morning if they are to be Saturday AM
