Ok, I’m back! Now, after tracing the legal plays made (bouv to Draelin to swampbear to Edward The Head to Zebra to swampbear to harmless to Omniscient to Draelin to CandidGamera to Scuba\_Ben), we have **Scuba\_Ben** ’s play in post #58 as the last legal touch. Fortunately, this pretty much jibes up with **Scuba\_Ben** being the last poster, so we can just take it from there. Game on! ---

**Scuba\_Ben** spears the ball from **xray vision** , popping the ball. He takes the ex-ball to Ref **Hal** , picks up a fresh ball, and throws it back into play. ---

**JimSox5** strips his ref shirt (since that’s all he was wearing, thanks to **swampy** ), puts back on his Chickens of Bristol uniform, then gets the ball from **Phelan**. He remembers he forgot to tie his shorts again, but instead of dropping it, he throws it straight up as high as he can, only to see a player he can’t identify come down with it. After landing, **Jim** can see it is. . . ---

OK, apparently the rules were lost in antiquity… Harmless has touched the ball like 35 times and there’s only been one score. **Hal** , it should never have been **x-ray** s ball at all. Unless of course we’re using the rules for Calvin Ball… In that case, you’re it! I score 15000 points for a flying crink shot!
