I would like to say that I love the arbitrary questions thread and in a somewhat similar fashion would like to engage in a virtual game of Calvinball. For those of you to young to remember, Calvinball is the creation of Calvin & Hobbes writer Bill Watterson. It's a game with as many or as little rules as you can think of, all of which takes place while playing the game. A few people have created "official" rules to the game you can see them here.

There really only is one real rule and that one is: Never play the same way twice.

So, who's up for a game.

And is immediately tackled for a 3 base loss. Field goal for Kristof65!

[Froggy the Great]

Ah, but see, you were in a mountain zone, so you actually lose three yards and half a field. I, however, was in possession of the Flag of Capturing, so I get the ball and score twice while you're at the realtor's office.

[kristof65]

But it's Sunday, and the realtor is closed. Therefore I gain the Cape of Nullification, thereby nullifiying one of your points and I gain possession of the ball.

[Kaizer Kaizer]

Ah, but I've entered the Zone of Ill-Effects, which causes anyone in possession of the ball to have to dance in a silly manner and toss the ball in the air.

[kristof65]

*Dances around in silly manner*

Oh no! I've been hit with the scorching eye ray of the disapproving wife for dancing around in a silly manner. I get 10 sympathy points!

[Sanael]

Sympathy points? Glad I have the flag of Empathy, allowing me to experience all your points along with you!

And where's everyone's mask?

After a heroic scramble for the free ball and a mad dash to the Girls Only Goal (G.O.G.), I'm up by one point. King me!

[kristof65]

Too bad the G.O.G. was secretly moved by G.R.O.S.S. (Get Rid Of Slimy girlS), and you ran through the Opposite Goal. All boys get one point!

Get ready for the kickoff!

[Nissiana]

Drat! Time to rearrange some wickets on the field....

[Darthiir]

after dusting myself off and like a mad-man at all my new playmates, I make a dash for the bucket of endless water ballons. with the bucket firmly in hand i begin heaving water ballons in random directions scoring hits on both kristof (who misses the ball on the kick off) and nissiana (who being a girl stands there for a moment not knowing what happened). i get Q-squared points and pick up the ball and begin running for the pernicious poetry place.

[kristof65]

Oh no! Because you missed the last G.R.O.S.S meeting, you didn't know that the devious girl, Nissianna, converted the pernicious poetry place into a tea party. You're stuck having tea with Nissianna and her doll and lose all your points. I grab the ball and a sled, and head for deadman's hill!

[Nissiana]

AND you (Darthiir) have to sing a Lullaby of Apology to Mr. Snuggles for getting him wet with that nasty water balloon. But only after the Tea Party. Move back four spaces!

[Darthiir]

*grumble grmuble grumble*

"my this is lovely tea mr. snuggles. would you like to hear a lullaby?

rock-a-by mr. snuggles on a tree top
when the lumber jack comes the craddle will rock
with a splintering crash the cradle will fall
and smoosh will go mr. snuggles,
underneath the tree he'll fall."

i get 20.23 points for making up such a fantastic lullaby and with the caffine boost from the tea steal the ball from kristof.

[Darthiir]

zig zagging through the sticky wickets i pick up the unmasked flag and give a good twack to everyone not wearing their mask (kaizer, kristof, and froch).

another p4 points for me.
