A Brief Introduction to Calvinball
Tuesday, March 20, 2007
If you're here, you a) know me or b) Googled Cavinball and ended up here.
This will probably only be entertaining for group 'a' ... but I've been wrong before.
Anyway, on to the proverbial meat and potatoes.
Calvinball - "It's pretty simple: you make up the rules as you go." - Bill Watterson
If you are still confused, go back in time 15 years, pick up the comic sections of the newspaper, and read Calvin & Hobbes. I'll wait...
While those people waste there time trying to track down H.G. Wells (literature reference!), I'll elaborate. Calvinball was a game played by Hobbes and Calvin that was a direct rebellion against organized sports. The only consistent rule of the game was that the rules must be different each time you play.
Is this supposed to be a metaphor of some sort, digging deep into the psyche of the twenty-something? No. It's a good friggin' comic strip and I miss it.
Play Calvinball. You'll live longer.
