Calvinball 2019 Tournament of Absolute Champions of the Universe!

(Looks like everyone’s gone in for the night.)

Elendil’s Heir, back from various boring grownup things, sneaks back onto the field by moonlight. Picking up the ball, he scores unopposed over and over and over again. The new score: his team eight miilion, the other team Q-203^.

Nonsuch finds Elendil’s Heir passed out on the field, using the calvinball as a pillow. He picks up Elendil’s Heir and the ball and sets them both over the bullseye for a quadruple overtime goal.

Energized by a bowlful of Chocolate Frosted Sugar Bombs, burpo the wonder mutt dashes onto the field andSQUIRREL!

Elendil’s Heir sits up, rubs his eyes, sees what’s going on and gives **burpo **a good scratch behind the ears.

Intergalactic Gladiator springs into the arena with his death ray scorcher and zaps a repulsive bat-webbed booger being. 13 points!

Annie-Xmas springs into the area and puts zapped repulsive bat-webbed booger being on top of a pine tree. 25 points.

Knowed Out takes out the pine tree with the frap ray for a zillion points.

Pine tree falls on Knowed Out. crushing frap ray for a zillion point penalty

@CaptainSnazzy quickly snatches up the Calvin Ball and makes his way over to the invisible zone

Nonsuch throws the striped flag, requiring every player to run backwards until the secret word is spoken.

(while running backwards) Intergalactic Gladiator touches the Invisible Zone Movement pole and now it’s in a different area. Captain Snazzy now has to sing the Intergalactic Gladiator is Great song.

Annie-Xmas starts singing, every player stops running and puts hands over their ears.

Oh no! I…must…resist…groans
ahem
“Mayest thou look upon
The greatest knight who rides thereon
Their strong, and smart and enigmatic,
The gladiator intergalactic…
LOOK NO FURTHER
FOR NONE SHALL PROCLAIM
A PERSON MORE DESERVING
OF THE SONG I HAVE ORDAINED
INTERGALACTIC GLADIATOR
TENDER AND TRUE
WE ALL BESEECH YOUR ELEGANCE
AND IN YOUR WORK PURSUE.”

While everyone has their hands over their ears and their eyes closed, wincing in pain at the song, thorny locust wanders out onto the field, takes the ball, and plants it into a hole dug just north of the south edge, top of it 2" below soil level; and waters it in carefully. She then wanders back off again to get back to transplanting out some lettuce.

ETA: She claims that because she paid zero attention to the score this means that she now has an infinite score.

Elendil’s Heir grabs the ball, steps three times on the Undoing Infinite Scores square, and shrugs apologetically at thorny locust.

Annie-Xmas grabs the ball and gets all the players to do a conga line across the Limbo Zone.

Uh-oh! Annie-Xmas stepped over the Q-yard line with the wrong foot! She forfeits the ball to Nonsuch, who balances it on his head for five points.

Intergalactic Gladiator prepares to take a swing at the balancing ball when everyone else blocks him out, saying that this is not a good idea. “Trust me, I got this,” says Intergalactic Gladiator but no one trusts him. Minus 3 points to Intergalactic Gladiator and his team(s).

Annie-Xmas balances the ball on her nose while doing the peppermint twist, earning 13 points and a candy cane.
