Calvinball! Now that sounds fun. . .

Yeah, it really does. When me and my cousin used to play football, it would turn into something like Calvinball. I love some of the points that Bill Watterson brings up. Like: Who was the guy who first looked at a cow and said, "I think I'll drink whatever comes out of these things when I squeeze 'em!"?

It's classic lines like that (and some deeper thoughts) that have made me a Calvin and Hobbes fan.

Calvin and Hobbes all the way! I love that comic-strip! It's hilarious, and Bill Waterson has very good art and good writing skills.

Eruviel Greenleaf · 05-27-2002, 01:40 AM

Game of Calvinball, anyone?

Oh, and I also like Doonsbury. . .

Mirahzi · 05-27-2002, 01:45 AM

Drat drat drat.. if I knew what it was I'd accept your challenge.. I wish I lived closer to a bookstore..

Anyway, I'm also a big fan of Peanuts

Eruviel Greenleaf · 05-27-2002, 01:52 AM

It's been a while since I read it, but I think the only rule of Calvinball is something about making new rules. . .the players declare a new rule about every five seconds, so it's basically anything....
I declare the next five posts must be typed with only one hand!

Mirahzi · 05-27-2002, 02:05 AM

And I declare that anyone who has a Legolas avatar must nance for 24 hours

Eruviel Greenleaf · 05-27-2002, 02:31 AM

Did you type that with one hand?

I declare that anyone with a sword avatar must not attack the macho-ness of Legolas for the next 24 hours

Mirahzi · 05-27-2002, 02:38 AM

Yes, I did, and it took me seceral tries

Hah, well, it's acually a spear-head

Fortunately for you, I can't think of anything to say about Legolas's masculanity.. or lack thereof

Eruviel Greenleaf · 05-27-2002, 02:40 AM

okay, anyone with flaming pointy objects in their avatars must refrain from attacking my *cough* Legolas' masculinity

Mirahzi · 05-27-2002, 02:46 AM

It's not flaming either, O blind one.. can't you tell its radiating red light?!

New Rule: Anyone who defends Legolas's last shreds of machoness must draw me a portrait of Jon Arbuckle

Eruviel Greenleaf · 05-27-2002, 02:51 AM

I declare that last rule invalid

Fine, glowing red, whatever!

Mirahzi · 05-27-2002, 02:53 AM

Hey, that's not fair! You can't rule my rule invalid.. All rules are valid!! Now draw, you yellah bellied prairie dawg!

Eruviel Greenleaf · 05-27-2002, 02:56 AM

All rules made by Mirahzi are hereby invalid for the next three posts!

Besides, I can't draw him, I don't know what he looks like!

Mirahzi · 05-27-2002, 03:04 AM

What?! That's definetely not fair! Foul! Red Flag! It's pretty easy.. but I'll let you slide with a portrait of Odie

Eruviel Greenleaf · 05-27-2002, 03:37 AM

Fine, Odie then. But I wasn't cheating!

Mirahzi · 05-27-2002, 03:42 AM

You were too! The elimination of another players ability to make rules is strictly illegalized in the Book of Calvin (& Hobbes)!! The jury consisting of myself finds you GUILTY and hereby punishes you by forcing you to draw a portrait of Odie.

Odie must have that very cute expression, where he's kinda happy in a stupid way

Eruviel Greenleaf · 05-27-2002, 03:46 AM

Okay, okay, I'll draw Odie!

Mirahzi · 05-27-2002, 03:59 AM

Hey.. I've got my rule-making privileges back!! Woohoo! I hereby declare that the next 3 posts contain the words: "Legolas" and "wuss"

I know that's gonna get turned around on me, but oh well

Eruviel Greenleaf · 05-27-2002, 04:24 AM

Legolas is very, very er, macho (

), and cool. Mirahzi is a big wuss.

Mirahzi · 05-27-2002, 04:28 AM

I knew it, I knew it.. Sigh. I think someone's having a bit of an identity crisis
