Baseball is cricket with ADHD.
And without tea and sandwiches.

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!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
If it's a military campaign, it's from WWI. A whole heap of not much happening punctuated by occasional frenzy. (Probably Gallipoli.)

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

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
And without tea and sandwiches
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
(edited because carious is not only not a word, it could be meant to be at least a couple of words. Whoops)

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
So, I'd been figuring that I probably wouldn't be able to make it to the F2F this year, but that there might be a chance. Due to some scheduling of school stuff, it looks like I'm definitly not going to be able to make it.

Aw, Hil, that's a bummer.
Pouts, too.
