I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Did you reach a certain score? But I have to say, Lord Peter Wimsey never turned into a duck, so I'm not sure you're doing it right, -t.

Oh, I was fascinated by the bell ringing! I have no memory of cricket in Murder Must Advertise, though. It's been a long time since I read it, though.

Oh, I'm clearly not doing it right. I was bowled out at the first wicket when I turned into a duck. Or something like that.

Hey, guess how much interest I have in working on a Quarterly Business Review today!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Look, if we're all going to be held to Lord Peter Wimsey standards of doing it right, I just might as well give up.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

I realized that, while I am a fan of many things, I'm not in the Fandom of most of them. I like what I like.

Well, someone noticed my Citrix hadn't gotten the upgrade yet. I was kinda looking forward to seeing what happened if that didn't happen before the server upgrade, but I guess it's better this way.

I think I probably learned more about cricket from Douglas Adams than anyone else. Not that that is very much.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Just finished a reread of The Nine Tailors. Oh, my god, the bell ringing.

Yeah, that's the other one in my head!

In the Google cricket game. I (that is, the cricket) turned into a duck. Like a rubber duck?

Oh, ha! I forgot that's where that started.

I don't know how well I could type if I actually turned into a duck. No fingers, those bills are pretty wide to pecking keys, and balancing on one foot to poke at a keyboard with webbed toes certainly sounds challenging.
