Cricket Sucks
Me: Who the fuck is hunting feet, Sherlock?
Ben: what
Me: Y'know... in sherlock holmes
Me: OH
Me: no wait, they say, "The Game is Afoot"
Me: Point stands
Ben: right
Me: Who plays feet?
Ben: like soccer references and shit
Me: or you kick feet around
Ben: fo real
Me: "Let's go play cricket!" "How do you play cricket?" "I have absolutely no idea and neither does anyone else."
Me: It's a game predicated on lies.
Me: Everyone acts like the know what's going on, but there is no way in any universe that that game makes sense.
Ben: Don;t you run back and forth as many times as possible?
Me: Yeah, something like that
Ben: I mean, for one....
Me: and then there's a wicket
Ben: baseball improves on something
Ben: wtf is a wicket
Me: what the fuck are small magical woodland creatures doing in this game?
Me: I KNOW
Me: And then the bat is a fucking rhombus with a pole on it
Me: And they wear stupid shin guards
Me: and if I remember correctly, they also wear equestrian helmets
Ben: YEAH
Me: Y'know, people all over the world play rugby. I can get behind that.
Me: But only England, India, and maybe kinda Hong Kong (which was an english territory) play cricket. Why? Because it's fucking bullshit, Ben.
Me: Let me also say, however, that baseball is total fucking bullshit too.
Ben: agreed
Me: I AM SO MAD NOW!
