Goofus lives a mile away from Bikenetic. Gallant lives in DC and rides to Herndon and manages to beat Goofus to the Calvinball.

I thought you might nab this on the way back from Green Lizard. Nicely done.

Thee Phoenixball lives and has been found and hidden within thee same day. Crossing boundaries. Upgrading swag. Cleaning the swag container so that it may shineth like new and, most importantly, NOT attract random puppers with the undeniable scent of chocolate.

Proposed ordnance: Prestidigitation – Spell of great awesomeness and utility, if a player should prestidigitate a calvinball/swag container by carefully cleansing it and thus decreasing the chance that an animal shall destroy it, that player’s haiku/limerick shall generate +3 points for being such a pretty caster.

Clue:
Bikenetic is
Sister-shop to Proteus
Seek Under Armour

Apologies to Steve O and others, I was surprised to find Stryke’s drop of the calvinball in Georgetown a mere couple hours before you all.

Lamely, I got sidetracked and didn’t get it redeposited in a timely manner. I anticipate demerits.

I did enjoy the goodies inside. I added more. Go pick it up in the AM.

I moved it across a river, though not as far as I would have liked. It’s pretty embarassing that by a mishap the calvinball traveled far further in my car than it did by bike. Don’t worry, the pickup and drop off and all in deltas therein were covered by bike. Maggie inspected everything closely. Again. I also abused a sleaze ride for this, woopsie.

Random, aside, I’ll admit that this clever game has made me think a LOT more about what is and isn’t NPS ground. Hat tip, Mr. Cannon.

Well it appears I have an interlude while Chaac does his thing.

Fireballv2 is under the spell of Streetsmarts
Firevallv1 is under the spell of Josh
Phoenixball is hidden in the dreaded Northern Realm of Proteus
Nivlacball is mysteriously hidden at the Spanish Steps

STRYKE
I am going to assume that the evil Schvin found the Fireball on the day it was reported missing, the 20th. That means Stryke gets 8 additional points for the hide (hidden on the 18th, found on the 20th), which I deduct from my own score of 8 Infinity.

SCHVIN Fireball
Let’s count the things you did wrong.
First, you apologized to SteveO?!? What did he have to do with anything?
Second, you all but left it on the Evil Josh’s doorstep!!
Third, you drove around with the Calvinball in a car???
Fourth, you let some Magi cast a curse on the Calvinball?? (Hi Maggi!)
I’m….. I’m just so mad!!

I must calm myself and repeat my mantra “Dingus was Obiwan; Dingus was Obiwan”

A Jedi seeks not revenge (we just blow things up over and over and over and did someone say sequel??)

8 Points for the find
10 points for adorable pictures of Maggi
10 points for venturing so far from home
5 points for putting gold coins in the Fireball
10 Points for eating chocolate
Even I dont think that was a lemonrock
No enchanted points for you! Phooey!
Maggi is awarded 43 points

Share with me the delusions of your score, which calvinball you have stolen without telling anyone, and where your car with it in the trunk is parked

Stuff is on the first page. I have to go for a bike ride.

I found the Fireball/Calvinball on Wed. And I danced with Pete!! I made a video (a very disgruntled Birru shot it) … but for the life of me I can’t upload it.
Tried saving a shorter version. No dice.

So
My delusions:
5 points for crossing realms
3 Points for adding swag
8 points for dancing!! and trying really hard to upload the video!

4 points for beating Bill to the shop, even though he lives close by and I live in DC.

4 points for a really old pic of me and a dog and a friend.

so… 24 points.

[josh]

Maryland but not
Or am I near the Far East?
But DC for real

What hotel is this?

[ATTACH=CONFIG]17120[/ATTACH]
Literally (and figuratively for the past day) sitting on the Fireball

[josh]

Also, poked around Stoddert bikeshare station and garden and couldn’t find the newer Fireball, but it was pretty dark and I could easily have missed it.
