I hear that.  Off and on, I have a fair amount of trouble with them these 
days.  Not yours, mine.

That's a relief. I wouldn't like to hear that they are annoying someone 
else.

Buggered if I know. Is that anywhere near the crease? Wherever that is.
And why would you hit the ball to first base? Is he not on your team? 
Can he catch it and would you be out?

That aside you could be right. :)

Ah! Just lay yourself down on this imaginary couch and tell me about

You are feeling sleepy...

So, I hit the ball to first base, and Buggered gets it.  That 
seems...odd. :)

Maybe I'm hitting the ball to first base so the first baseman can 
practice fielding. :)

Actually, I am feeling a little sleepy.  It's a nice rainy day here.

Ironically, there is a candidate running for Governor of Washington named 
Rob McKenna.  He can't be unaware of his name's pedigree. :)

Talking about coincidences. I found an author who wrote about 100 books 
who is not in Wikipedia. (Short German article, excepted.)

Aye, they do.  But it's stopped, and the sun came out.  I was promised 
rain this afternoon.  Thunderstorms, even.

No, it's the knees that are boisterous.
