Uncle Crappy

I may have a new favorite sport. At least until college football season starts again.

Mrs. Crappy and I met Father Spoon and Dahcheet at Boyce Park this afternoon to finally see Annoyed Angel and Calipanthergrl and the rest of the Pittsburgh Angels play. And although I understood about half of what I was watching, I had a great time.

I don't know her name, but the visitors saw a lot of the woman who's carrying the ball here.

The final score helped — Pittsburgh beat the Severn River club 80-0. AA even scored a try for us. (That was for us, right?)

Hm. The ball-carrier looks kind of familiar.

AA, who didn’t play the first half, also helped by answering our dumb questions for a while. That was a big help, although I found the game isn’t at all difficult to follow even if you’re not completely clear on what’s happening.

Another familiar face...

We didn’t stick around for the men’s second game, although I want to see them play — if for no other reason than it’ll help convince me that golf is a much more appropriate sport for a person of my advanced age.

Rugby Day Part Two — better known as the Asshat Tweetup — is coming up in just a few hours. If you’re in Pittsburgh and you don’t have an infant at home to take care of (Hi, Spoon!), attendance is mandatory. See you there.
