I’ll go to the team that has the fewest members come Friday. So far I think it’s Calvin. ---

As a Calvin & Hobbes junkie, I have to play. I’ll be on Calvin’s team, if anyone wants me. **Tygr** better get his ass in gear and volunteer for the Hobbes team, considering he’s a tygr. ---

Okay, any and all references will make you on the team that most suits it, so Pinky’s on calvins team, unless things don’t work that way… Yet again, thanks for being cooperative everyone, this is a big project (That, so far, I’m just making up as I go along). Hey, Kat, you should make one of my missions or whatever to be actually completing this. STILL ROOM FOR ONE MORE REF! ---

Well, since no one has asked yet, can I be a ref _and_ a player? Huh? Can I?!? ---

All RIGHT… I’ve brought masks (sorry, **no one’s** allowed to question the masks) and I’ve brought flags. Through the door, line on the left, one mask each. (Do you HAVE to ask which team I’m on? The stripey, fuzzy one with all the “slimy girls”! [sub]Yow-wow…muchas smoochas![/sub]) I notice a coupl’a things missing, though. First and formosa, the anthem: [sub]Feel free to harmonize on the rumma-tum-tums.[/sub] Other kids games are all such a bore! They’ve gotta have rules and they gotta keep score! **Calvinball** is better by far! It’s never the same! It’s always bizzare! You don’t need a team or a referee![sub]Okay, scratch that last bit.[/sub] You know that it’s great, 'coz it’s named after ME! (Go ahead and add yer own verses. Since the OP’s gone, I’m declaring an anarchy weekend and changing what’s allowed in this thread. No Rules? Just right…) Thirdially, I’m declarin’ myself team captain. Nobody’s more qualified, 'cept those what’s bigger’n me. Miss Spider-Chick, you can be co-captain, 'coz you invited me here, not to mention the fact that I’m a leg man, and **man** you got legs! Okay, team, now that I’m here y’all gotta sing the team salute, which I stole… er, BORROWED from our founder/mascot. An’ a-one, an’ a-two… Three cheers for First Tygr and el Presidente, Tygr, the delight of all cognoscenti! He’s savvy! He has a prodigious… um, IQ!, [sub]Sorry, went Freudian there for a moment.[/sub] …and lots of panache, as all tigers do! In his fancy chapeau, he’s a leader with taste! May his orders be heeded and his views be embraced! Now, abilities…abilities… Where’d I put that gamma ray machine? No, on second tought, I’d better not. Orange-and-black stripes would look TERRIBLE with green skin - MAJOR fashion fox-pass… Oh, and to further this train-wreck-of-a-hijack, one last bit of unfinished biz-ness… _Hey, **WOLVIE**!_ (a five-foot wide snowball plasters Wolverine square in his enormous pie-hole) _YER GOIN’ **DOWN**! BWAAA-HA-HA-HA_[sub]_cough!_[/sub] Okay, then…Same time next week, right? ---

Well, it sounds like there’s a ref spot left, but I’m not gonna be in it… hehehehe I will be with the Spifs, as they seem to have the least people. For the record, during the game I have decided to use an alternate body… I will be a T-Rex. In an F-14. ---

lurknomore is our left center half, but we need a captain. I nominate T.Rex. Also, pre-emptive taunts are obligatory in Calvinball, so neener, neener. (prepare to be slimed, oh slimy ones.) Can we use my ball? It’s pink and it has 12, 16…dodeca… many sides. Good, random bounces. ---

Remember people, only 1 ref spot left! I feel the need to constantly remind people, because no one seems to want to do it… But there’s all the power that comes with it! You can CHEAT! You know you want it… I can see it in your greedy little eyes… ---
