    Lets see if this works

    If you don't know what Calvinball is, you've missed out on a great comic strip, for clarification have a look at some of the results from a Google search on Calvinball

    Now, let's begin

    *puts on mask*

    *takes the Calvinball and makes a run for the point scoring zone* 

    2007-07-05 14:02:49.0

    Calvinball! Squeee! I love this game!

    *dons mask* *runs to the bullet time tree*

    I hit the bullet time tree which means everyone 'cept has to run in slow-mo for thirty seconds

    *catches up  to SK and grabs the Calvinball*

    2007-07-05 15:27:37.0

    *I run over to the payback flag and tag it with the queen of spades*

    now you have to run backwards everywhere until we see a pidgeon

    2007-07-05 18:04:42.0

    *Dons padding" *Runs to the right most tree"
    Jumps up and grabs the first branch which freezes all the other players for long enough for her to grab the CalvinBall and run back to the same tree

    2007-07-05 19:32:12.0

    *scratching head and heads off to check link*

    2007-07-05 19:40:02.0

    sorry kathy, we're playing by Bolivian rules today, so trying to freeze all of us means you have to sing a sorry song in Bolivian

    *waits for kathy to sing before taking the Calvinball from the tree* 

    2007-07-05 20:56:32.0

    Ok... I admit it.. I am confused... Why can't I drop a YOu Tube Video here?

    2007-07-06 11:18:06.0

    2007-07-06 11:18:13.0

    Are you using the little embed code they put under the video? You just paster that into the "insert video" box (the film strip button)

    Anyway, if you're done singing

    *takes Calvinball and throws it at the cricket stumps*

    2007-07-06 16:59:08.0


    BINGO! Got it!

    *Catches CalvinBall before it reaches the cricket Stumps*
    *fast Breaks down the court to make a glorius DUNK*

    2007-07-06 18:01:49.0

    *Grabs the rebound and slams the ball off the "skip everyone" post, giving me another turn*

    2007-07-07 06:01:34.0

    Sorry drdec, I was holding the rebound flag, I get your extra turn instead of you (not that calvinball really has turns)

    *drops the calvinball in the bonus round paddling pool*

    First one in gets 100 points

    and since none of you can read this message yet I have a head start

    yay! I get 100 points 

    2007-07-07 15:22:37.0

    *looks at the calvinball and dosn't have a clue*

    2007-07-17 20:33:24.0

    *givesFMoonhead the clue flag*

    2007-07-18 02:12:00.0

    *Grabs the Calvinball during all this and punts it into the neighbor's yard.  The one with the vicious dog.*

    2007-07-18 07:41:44.0

    Im in the imperial zone, I get to make one order and you have to follow it

    drdec, go get the ball! 

    2007-07-18 10:27:06.0

    *stares at the clue flag*

    2007-07-18 12:21:00.0

    now, while everyone is busy reading up, I'll be going for a checkmate against the dartboard in the bonus zone. If I make it everyone has to hop on one foot until they find a worm and take it to the undo flag

    2007-07-18 14:20:20.0

    Having watched the game progress, and waiting for S-K's move (whilst he manoeuvres) Snatches dartboard,  touches branch, bounces through  bonus zone , kicks flag into imperial zone, smacks tiger's tail on way through, Kicks ball into next topic, sets fire to rule book, kicks all other players to death, grabs new flag, invades Bolivia steals old/new rule book, burns it whilst hopping on one foot, killing worms.

    2007-07-18 18:01:01.0

    well.. that certainly was a lot of things to do at once... doesn't give us a whole lot of a chance to respond..

    however I was in the opposite zone the whole time so actually you did the exact opposite of "doing lots of stuff" and spent the whole time sitting quietly on the ground

    and now you have to sing the sorry song for no reason whatsoever 

    2007-07-18 18:04:18.0

    Ahhh! But you had no game tool with which to demand that. You cannot just sit down and enjoy the ride.

    I invoke the "Hobbes must do something"  Rule, and deflect your easy claim

    2007-07-18 18:27:08.0

    All zones, flags and other items are bequeathed with the power vested in them by the declarer on declaration.

    and I just found the pingpong ball of doublement, you owe us a second verse of the sorry song 

    2007-07-18 18:30:21.0

    As I am not the designated singer of the songs, (look back up the topic), your application of an erroneous rule or condition, negates all previous applications. So we are back to the "Hobbes must do something rule ". The pingpong ball of doublement now becomes my property.

    2007-07-18 18:44:41.0

    Designated singer of songs? There's no such formality in Calvinball, who is this designee anyway?

    If you mean Kathy because she had to sing a song once, that's not a designation as the official song-singer

    *takes back pingpong ball of doublement*

    also you kicked several players to death, you get arrested mr mc-murder-pants 

    2007-07-18 19:05:35.0

    *follows the above link and now understands Calvinball much better*

    2007-07-18 19:14:26.0

    *Gains the Flag of understanding and places it firmly in the getting ready to play zone*

    2007-07-18 19:15:06.0

    I get acquitted of Calvin-Murder (to give it it's proper name). I get The ping-pong ball of doublement back. I also get the golf-ball of betterment.  I get two steps closer to the tree of goodness, and I get to re-invoke the rule of "Hobbes must do something" all because I made S-K look back up the thread (to Kathy) for stuff I made up

    XP

    I have to say I was laughing a bit here. -Which gets me a two yard humour advantage .

    2007-07-18 19:20:27.0

    It was a plan

    2007-07-18 19:25:42.0

    hmm.. you're in a pretty strong position there, but is it enough to overcome the might, the strength and the sheer unstoppable power of.......

     

     

     

     

    .....

     

     

     

    A CALVINBALL TO THE FACE!!

    You're now out cold for at least 10 minutes

    *raids john robie's pockets* :P  (I'll leave you some stuff, but the pingpong ball is mine) 

    2007-07-18 19:28:45.0

    *takes out pocket knife*

    2007-07-18 19:32:42.0

    I'm pretty sure that knife fights aren't in the spirit of Calvinball

    2007-07-18 19:35:09.0

    *takes out cutlass*

    2007-07-18 19:35:35.0

    *Plants the Flag of Blade Combat in the Manly Dispute Zone*

    2007-07-18 19:36:58.0

    *Retrives the calvin ball and attempts to score*

    2007-07-18 19:37:31.0

    (oh and putting Calvin's balls in my face are OK then? Hrrumph) 

    Using previously obtained golf-ball of betterment, disables cutlass, knocks over the flag blade of combat in manly zone, To obtain position of  Alpha male empowerment  uses pocket knife to fight off Super King in support of opportune ally FMoonHead.

    2007-07-18 19:44:37.0

    Ally? He's trying to score right now

    and you may have disabled by cutlass, but the flag of golf ball of betterment beating won't be so easy!

    *disables golfball of betterment*

    *pokes john robie in the stomach with the pointy end of the flag of golf ball of betterment beating*

    *sees FMoonhead heading for the scoring spot*

    *tags the random flag*

    *randomly, the scoring spot just moved to the other end of the field*

    :P 

    2007-07-19 09:45:01.0

    *touches tree of random opportunity and eats toad stool of re-invigoration*

    *sprints to  scoring spot and denies Super-King, by beating him with now useless  golf ball of betterment, claiming the random flag*

     

    2007-07-19 13:09:52.0

    I'm nowhere near the scoring spot, get your geography right :P

    2007-07-19 13:51:29.0

    and the random flag randomly turned into the flag of immense sucking just before you claimed it

    2007-07-19 13:52:12.0

    *Leaps over the previous 4 posts using the bucket of Marvelous Leaping and touches down in the scoring zone*

    2007-07-19 14:20:52.0

    *CHEERS*

    2007-07-19 14:20:58.0

    **Gains 1 CalvinPoint*

    2007-07-19 14:21:09.0

    Ok, I make the score 1 - QX - maroon

    2007-07-19 15:48:18.0

    It can't be maroon because i just scored using a power bucket. 1-QX-Apricot seems more appropriate.

    2007-07-19 17:20:01.0

    All power bucket scores are maroon. And maroon scores made by post leaping are invalid.

    *I claim my  bonus Calvinpoint due to the  Rules rule.*

    2007-07-20 11:39:37.0

    * takes off new shoes so as not to get them dirty*

    *sneaks in and steals all the points*

    *runs away and hides* 

    2007-07-20 14:33:44.0

    *waves the no-hiding flag*

    *sees Monty*

    *tackles Monty and repeatedly pokes him with the Give Me All Your Stuff Flag*

    *yay points*

    *umm.. you can have this thing back, I'm not sure what it is, looks kinda strange, I don't think I want to know what it is* 

    2007-07-20 15:39:42.0

    I don't know what it is either, but i'm pretty sure it's essential for living.

    *Limps off to hospital to get it reattached*

    *Ties SK laces together on the way*

     

    2007-07-20 16:46:16.0

    *Magic aura of Hobbs is claimed to cover this mayhem*

    2007-07-28 21:18:26.0

    *Aman is wearing a multiple proof armour and gracefully deflects all the flag-staff, etc*

    2007-07-30 09:07:07.0

    *flagstaff falls on the floor and trips JR in his pursuit of the Magic Aura of Hobbs"

    2007-07-30 09:08:46.0

    2007-08-12 07:38:29.0

    JR, did you ever get a school report that contained the words "doesn't play well with others"?

    Just wondering

    Anyway, tea break over, lets play ball XP

    2007-08-15 16:46:07.0

    I feel like I'm being stalked by pies

    2007-09-25 18:28:47.0

    I grab a pie and throw it at John Robie, who drops the deflated Calvinballs.  I then take them, re-inflate them, and kick 'em towards the goal:)

    2008-03-02 17:06:32.0

    Calvin is caught blowing Hobbes......Game over......

    kwtf.

    2008-05-17 12:52:06.0

    Yeah... JR is probably a player you'd want to avoid on the Calvinball field.

    2008-05-17 17:49:54.0

    this game is too much for me, but i found something that i think is appropriate:
