I want to be on Hobbes’ team. My ability is to backstab people using 3rd Edition D&D rules. The person stabbed must sing the entire musical “HMS Pinafore” before he dies, or my team gets 100000 points. ---

Is it something only a 3rd Ed. D&D player would get? (I’m still playing AD&D 2nd ed.) ---

hehehe… our hero, in a fit of genius Calvinball theory, has snuck up and eaten all of the opposing teams flags, wickets, playbooks, water balloons, fuzzy dice and support persons. Heheheheheh _burp_ Hehehehehehehhe ---

Throw me on Hobbes team. The Official Calvinball Song Other kids games are all such a bore! They gotta have rules and they gotta keep score! Calvinball is better by far! It’s never the same! It’s always bizarre. You don’t need a team or a referee! You know that it’s great, 'cause its named after me! If you wanna… ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Dr.Pinky \* > \*\*wyldelf Nymysys \*\* This is not to imply that “wyldelf Nymysys” is one entity, although that provides opportunity for a very interesting thought experiment. No, rather (2nd cousin to what’s the frequency, Dan) it should read wyldelf Nymysys plus capacitor absoul on the fuzzy (as opposed to spiky) side. The Calvin’s are falling behind recruiting, but we’re all multi-taskers, and expect that you’ll “take tea with Suzy” eventually, which will leave you vunerable to F-14 delivered water-bombs. Wet cats and girls - our victory is nearly assured. * * * B\_ \_ k \_ h \_ \_ o \_ e, \_ i \_ n \_ \_ u \_ d \_ r \_ d \_ l \_ a \_ s! ---

“take tea with Suzy” sounds like a great euphemism. Gotta apply that to something… ---

Taking Tea With Susie? It sounds like some one died… Uh oh… ---

Ok unless I read wrong, tomorrow is the cutoff point for joining either team Calvin or team Hobbes, so I’ll bump this up just in case anyone else wants to join… ---
