“Give the children love, more love and still more love – and the common sense will come by itself.” 

Astrid Lindgred

Everybody gets so much information all day long that they lose their common sense

Gertrude Stein (1874-1946)

Basically, there's three grabbers, three taggers, five twig runners, and a player at Whackbat. Center tagger lights a pine cone and chucks it over the basket and the whack-batter tries to hit the cedar stick off the cross rock. Then the twig runners dash back and forth until the pine cone burns out and the umpire calls hotbox. Finally, you count up however many score-downs it adds up to and divide that by nine.

A bank is a place where they lend you an umbrella in fair weather and ask for it back when it begins to rain.
