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

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.

Toddson! You must come the the F2F. It's not negotiable. The word non-profit does not mean "take advantage of the people willing to work hard."

Absolutely! don't make me kick some ass at your job. I mean, I wouldn't mind :)

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Actually, these bozos could stand to have their asses kicked. I may call on you.

And cricket - a friend and I used to keep score for the Haverford cricket team. I don't remember much about the rules (which always struck more as more like Calvinball than an organized sport), but I do remember tea breaks with cute players ... and they weren't all icky and sweaty.

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

What does Calvinball mean? I know what it is, but the two times I've seen it used, it didn't make sense to me in context. Is it meaning a game whose rules are made up on the fly?

Because layer 1 of cricket rules is pretty simple. On a parallel with baseball and football, I think.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Where I fall down understanding cricket rules is the eleventy-bazillion ways there are to get out. Everything else is pretty straightforward.

It basically boils down to 1) failing to protect the wicket 2) cheating protecting the wicket 3) getting caught just like in baseball.
