| cmaloney | heh | 02:36 |
|---|---|---|
| cmaloney | Woo woo | 16:44 |
| cmaloney | Afternoon | 19:38 |
| cmaloney | so dad-in-law is back home | 19:38 |
| cmaloney | I think we have a good plan of action. | 19:38 |
| gamerchick02 | plan of action? hope it goes well? | 19:44 |
| cmaloney | Yeah, it's going well | 19:50 |
| cmaloney | I think he's OK for now | 19:50 |
| gamerchick02 | ok | 19:51 |
| gamerchick02 | i'm catching the Aus v. England Test 2 day 4. cricket... the Ashes tourney. it's long and looks a bit slow but that's ok | 19:52 |
| cmaloney | Any particular reason you're watching cricket? | 19:54 |
| cmaloney | Most folks on this side of the pond don't quite understand cricket. ;) | 19:55 |
| gamerchick02 | i'm trying to understand it better | 19:55 |
| cmaloney | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dEH4ahCCrJo | 19:55 |
| gamerchick02 | some of the guys at work play and follow cricket | 19:55 |
| cmaloney | Yes, some of them are from India. :) | 19:55 |
| cmaloney | I tried playing cricket | 19:55 |
| gamerchick02 | and Pakistan! | 19:55 |
| gamerchick02 | i've never tried it | 19:56 |
| cmaloney | to this day I have NFC what I was doing out there. | 19:56 |
| cmaloney | That video pretty much explains it | 19:56 |
| gamerchick02 | lol | 19:57 |
| gamerchick02 | overs are like outs, i guess | 19:57 |
| gamerchick02 | i dunno | 19:57 |
| gamerchick02 | https://www.cs.purdue.edu/homes/hosking/cricket/explanation.htm | 19:57 |
| gamerchick02 | Rogers (one of the Aus players) apparently got hit on the head by a ball or whatever the other day and is now dizzy. poor dude | 19:59 |
| cmaloney | That ball is made of wood and lead | 19:59 |
| gamerchick02 | ouch. yeah. right in the side of the mask | 19:59 |
| cmaloney | Possibly uranium and other heavy metals | 19:59 |
| gamerchick02 | cork and string | 19:59 |
| cmaloney | Feels like titanium | 19:59 |
| gamerchick02 | it's like a baseball but red with a stitching around the circumference. | 20:00 |
| cmaloney | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f481fxMyNbg | 20:00 |
| gamerchick02 | HAH great! | 20:01 |
| gamerchick02 | home runs!!! | 20:02 |
| cmaloney | Well, considering they're used to more "bunting" than thwacking | 20:02 |
| gamerchick02 | yeah | 20:03 |
| cmaloney | Those would have been foul balls in baseball | 20:03 |
| gamerchick02 | part of it is that the bowler is throwing high ones | 20:03 |
| gamerchick02 | if they were lower and off the ground i doubt he'd know what to do with it | 20:03 |
| cmaloney | Likely send it somewhere between New York and LA | 20:04 |
| gamerchick02 | heh | 20:05 |
| _stink_ | cricket! | 20:05 |
| _stink_ | i love it | 20:05 |
| gamerchick02 | howdy _stink_ | 20:05 |
| _stink_ | yo | 20:05 |
| cmaloney | _stink_: You like fewtball too right? | 20:05 |
| gamerchick02 | i'm watching yesterday's Ashes tourney | 20:05 |
| _stink_ | all the foreign sports | 20:05 |
| _stink_ | and most of the domestic ones. | 20:05 |
| cmaloney | _stink_: Rugby and Curling too? | 20:06 |
| gamerchick02 | not yesterday but 7/19 | 20:06 |
| gamerchick02 | i like rugby and curling | 20:06 |
| _stink_ | cmaloney: yes and yes! | 20:07 |
| _stink_ | i played a year of rugby | 20:07 |
| _stink_ | was really fun | 20:07 |
| gamerchick02 | nice! | 20:07 |
| _stink_ | i tried curling once | 20:07 |
| _stink_ | also fun | 20:07 |
| gamerchick02 | i've never tried curling | 20:07 |
| cmaloney | I think we're going to have to pull _stink_'s 'murican card. | 20:07 |
| gamerchick02 | or rugby | 20:07 |
| gamerchick02 | baseball yes, american football, yes | 20:07 |
| cmaloney | Rugby (from what I understand) is this: throw a ball and have a pile-on over the ball | 20:08 |
| cmaloney | and then beat the shit out of each other without padding | 20:08 |
| _stink_ | yes | 20:08 |
| cmaloney | Whomever isn't completely unconscious by the end of it gets a point. | 20:08 |
| gamerchick02 | yeah | 20:08 |
| _stink_ | pretty much it | 20:08 |
| _stink_ | it's great fun | 20:08 |
| gamerchick02 | oh and the ball can't go forward except for running | 20:08 |
| _stink_ | and if someone does something oyu don't like | 20:08 |
| _stink_ | you stomp them with your cleats | 20:09 |
| gamerchick02 | OUCH | 20:09 |
| _stink_ | and it's ok | 20:09 |
| cmaloney | Yeah, it's like American Football and Hockey combined with none of the rules related to shoving a skate in someone's face. | 20:09 |
| cmaloney | and none of those sissy things like pads and timeouts. | 20:09 |
| gamerchick02 | but ruggers know how to hit someone without injury. if a football player tried rugby they'd be in the hospital by halves | 20:10 |
| cmaloney | I think it's more they know how to pull their head out of the way | 20:10 |
| _stink_ | oh yeah | 20:10 |
| _stink_ | protect the head | 20:11 |
| gamerchick02 | for sure! | 20:11 |
| _stink_ | also in rugby if you tackle a ball carrier in a way that unnecessarily endangers him | 20:11 |
| _stink_ | you get ejected | 20:11 |
| _stink_ | so you can't really blatantly hurt sometone | 20:11 |
| gamerchick02 | of course | 20:11 |
| _stink_ | there are lots of chest up collisions | 20:11 |
| _stink_ | at lower speeds | 20:11 |
| gamerchick02 | football is a bit different | 20:11 |
| _stink_ | than murkian football | 20:11 |
| gamerchick02 | it looks like a grapple when they're in the scrum | 20:12 |
| _stink_ | mauls are the best | 20:13 |
| _stink_ | they hardly ever form at amateur level | 20:13 |
| _stink_ | but they are so fun | 20:13 |
| gamerchick02 | maul? | 20:13 |
| _stink_ | and interesting | 20:13 |
| gamerchick02 | a huge scrum? | 20:13 |
| _stink_ | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sTsbiJdea6w | 20:13 |
| _stink_ | it's a type of group play where the ball carrier is not tackled | 20:14 |
| gamerchick02 | you plaied Union, not League, i take it | 20:14 |
| gamerchick02 | *played | 20:14 |
| _stink_ | oh yeah | 20:15 |
| _stink_ | i hate league | 20:15 |
| gamerchick02 | hah | 20:15 |
| gamerchick02 | what's the difference? i've read a bit and i'm like 'huh?" | 20:15 |
| _stink_ | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ak_QWAAtvFo | 20:16 |
| _stink_ | the second half of that where live play is shown gives an idea of what you can do off a maul | 20:17 |
| _stink_ | league is essentially no rucks or mauls | 20:17 |
| gamerchick02 | ah ok | 20:17 |
| _stink_ | the phase is over when theball carrier is tackled | 20:17 |
| _stink_ | he get to his feet, defense retreats a few yards | 20:17 |
| gamerchick02 | ok | 20:17 |
| _stink_ | play is restarted when he rolls the ball backward with his foot to a teammate | 20:18 |
| _stink_ | fewer players too | 20:18 |
| _stink_ | smaller pitch | 20:18 |
| _stink_ | i feel like the game is just not as interesting | 20:18 |
| _stink_ | as unio | 20:18 |
| _stink_ | n | 20:18 |
| gamerchick02 | i've watched a bit of Sevens | 20:18 |
| _stink_ | i'm a total snob | 20:18 |
| _stink_ | i don't love sevens either :) | 20:18 |
| gamerchick02 | Sevens is on TV | 20:19 |
| gamerchick02 | the only way i get any cricket or rugby is through watchespn | 20:19 |
| _stink_ | yeah they show lots of sevens on watchespn | 20:20 |
| gamerchick02 | well they also show sevens on NBC i think sometimes | 20:20 |
| _stink_ | they have showed college sevens i know | 20:21 |
| gamerchick02 | yeah | 20:21 |
| gamerchick02 | i don't have fancy cable so i don't get fancy rugby games | 20:21 |
| _stink_ | yeah i don't pay for bein sport either | 20:21 |
| gamerchick02 | i just have the limited basic | 20:22 |
| gamerchick02 | so that gives me most of the OTA stations and CBC, PBS from Flint, and TVO | 20:22 |
| cmaloney | I'm so pissed that we no longer get CBC | 20:33 |
| cmaloney | When we made the switch to digital broadcast signals we lost CBC | 20:33 |
| gamerchick02 | :( | 20:34 |
| gamerchick02 | you have an antenna, yes? | 20:34 |
| gamerchick02 | i've never gotten it before living down here | 20:34 |
| gamerchick02 | never had cable | 20:34 |
| gamerchick02 | till moving down here. ahem | 20:34 |
| cmaloney | Yeah, antenna | 20:35 |
| gamerchick02 | you were a cord-cutter before cord cutting was cool | 20:35 |
| gamerchick02 | my mom was too. :-P | 20:35 |
| cmaloney | I've been a cord cutter all of my life | 20:38 |
| cmaloney | though we still pay a cable bill for my dad-in-law | 20:39 |
| gamerchick02 | i had cable in college because it came with the dorm room and apartment | 20:39 |
| gamerchick02 | i have it now for the internet | 20:39 |
| cmaloney | yeah, we're cabled because of the internet. | 20:39 |
| gamerchick02 | i swear! it's just for the internet! i'm holding the cable for a friend! | 20:39 |
| cmaloney | heh | 20:39 |
| gamerchick02 | :-P | 20:39 |
| cmaloney | bbl | 20:39 |
| gamerchick02 | kk | 20:39 |
