JJ, I forget--what happens at Jukola and where is it??? I understand about finishing being the goal, as my son Adrian and his wife Allison sometimes have entered a 10,000-strong ski race in either Norway or Sweden and it's the same--the journey is the goal. .Birkebeiner??? Or maybe it's running--anyway, it is too exhausting to even contemplate. But our son Jon has entered and often won Adventure Races in various places that often take days to complete. He and friends actually climbed Mt. Shasta in 24 hours! Including an hour nap for altitude sickness treatment. LInda As for cricket, I was reading the Grantchester <span style="font-size:10pt">mysteries by James Runcie and cricket figures in them a lot. As for the interferences, our son Greg used to construct golf or croquet courses for himself and friends or party goers on our front lawn or running into the front field with hay bales, old junk, trees, bushes, and other hazards and a wiggly mown path --very funny. His silly golf course was named Tangleweeds. It was his therapy while he was recovering from elbow surgery in HS, as was playing the guitar. Can't keep up with the younger set. Yikes! My twins turn 50 soon! </span></div><div><br>---------- Original Message ----------<br>From: Jean-Joseph Cote <<a href="mailto:jjcotedsl@verizon.net" target="_blank">jjcotedsl@verizon.net</a>><br>To: fictionary group <<a href="mailto:fictionary@swarpa.net" target="_blank">fictionary@swarpa.net</a>><br>Subject: [Fictionary] BOOLEYING results<br>Date: Sat, 23 Jun 2018 08:36:19 -0400<br><br><div class="m_-7440732144893329916moz-text-html" lang="x-unicode">We've got a tie on points between Fran and Linda, but since one of Linda's votes came from Fran, I'll use that as a tiebreaker and arbitrarily pass the torch to Fran, if she wants it. And since nobody asked, my team came in 1468th at Jukola (we did finish, which is more than you can say for some teams!).<br> <br> Jean-Joseph<br> _________________________________________________<br> <br> booleying - n. - An acrid Yunnanese tea.<br> by David. Ranjit 2 = 2 points<br> Ranjit: Two tea points.<br> <br> booleying - n. - Using an offset block pulley to lift a load.<br> by Nick. David 1, Linda 2 = 3 points<br> Linda: something my dad might have invented<br> <br> booleying - n. - Decorative carving on a picture frame consisting of a series of raised dots. <br> by Ranjit. Pierre 2 = 2 points<br> <br> Booleying - n. - In cricket, going around an object like a tree instead of declaring an interference.<br> by Linda. Eric 1, Ranjit 2, Fran 1 = 4 points<br> Eric: One point, because my sister says so.<br> Ranjit: I will believe any nonsense about cricket.<br> Jean-Joseph: Where are you playing cricket? A tree? And going around, what the...? This sounds more like croquet.<br> <br> booleying - n. - A game in which one player presents an argument and the others identify the syllogism, if it's sound, or the fallacy, if it isn't.<br> by Pierre. 1 for correct guess = 1 point<br> Jean--Joseph: Is the really the only def that's even vaguely related to "Boolean"?<br> <br> booleying - n. - Of windshield wipers, gradually beating in and out of phase so as to alternate between removing the rain and concentrating it.<br> by Elliott. Fran 2, Linda 1 = 3 points<br> Linda: for imagination<br> Pierre: The only wipers I've seen beating are on buses; the fields of wiping of the wipers do not overlap.
