If pictures you ‘sidiously heed
In the leaves, on the dirt
Along Custis Spurt
To beat others, go ride with all speedProposed ordinance: Since canines (and felines) no longer mayest be abuseth for points, a picture of thine captured Calvinball with an animal in the wild (deer, fox, squirrel…) earns 5 points. Both animal and calvinball must be in the photo.

Tim, the Enchanter, guardian of the bunny cave, grows weary of you mere mortals…… your groveling before the wrong demigod…. your repeatedly just HANDING a Calvinball to the evil Josh instead of my favorite CBGanimal. And your really really bad accounting. Has anyone dared consult with Sir Greg Bain about how bad your accounting is?
I call upon the one who should not be mentioned. I call upon him who dwells in the Mountain of Porsche, filled with fire and molten steel. I call upon him who tortures the souls of cars and causes them to go in a circular frenzy at high speeds going no where.
This wizard of fire and metal shall vent my fury on you mere mortals.

After much searching and great effort on my part Nivlacbal has been found! *
*Dear Daughter comes out into the shop with a real nice box-O-Swag. “Hey Dad, I found a Calvinball!” Dad goes “What do you mean you found a Calvinball, where? Dear Daughter, “On the front Porsche. I mean porch” Me. “Oh. I get it. Tim the Enchanter has spoken and I must rise to the calling ” Dear Daughter “Um…Tim the who? Ok, Cool, Hey, can I have some of that chocolate?”
Inside I am thinking. Muhahahahahahahaaaa…cough, haha, snort!” (rubs hands together while looking around the shop for suitable materials…….) I don’t expect any points for a fast turn around.
Update. nivlaC llaB plan in motion.
Yes the bunnies make little pills.
I called them smart pills and told kids that eating 2 or 3 a day will make them smarter. The Boy grabs a handfull and eats a few…. “Hey dad they taste like crap” Me. “See it is starting to work already!”

ParticipantIf a player captures two (or more) Calvinballs during the same day, they may abolish one ordinance of their choosing (to be selected on the day of the simultaneous capture).
Today I captured the Fireball and whichever Calvinball SteveO hid
Today I exercise the two Calvinballs spell.I undo the undo rule. The undo rule is undone. The undo rule is passed on! It is no more! It has ceased to be! It’s expired and gone to meet its maker! It’s a stiff! Bereft of life, it rests in peace! It’s metabolic processes are now ‘istory! It’s off the twig! It’s kicked the bucket, It’s shuffled off ‘is mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the bleedin’ choir invisibile!! The undo rule is an ex-rule.

Having captured 2 Calvinballs, I hereby declare this ordinance no longer valid:

I do this as a kind gesture, only to protecteth said fauna from humiliation.
Brother Maynard here. The monks have consulted the Book of Claptrap. According to the Book of Claptrap, Chater 6, verse 7:
If a player captures two (or more) Calvinballs during the same day, they may abolish one ordinance of their choosing (to be selected on the day of the simultaneous capture).
Pilgrim SteveO found the Phoenixball in the Realm of Proteus on the 23rd
Pilgrim SteveO found the Fireball on the 24th (the postdate of his find post)
Pilgrim SteveO attempted to cast the Spell of the Two Calvinballs on the 24th – and eliminate the rule of the Beasts.The Book of Claptrap guides us that the capture of the Calvinballs must be on the day same. Not the day before. Not the day after. Yesterday would be too early. Tomorrow would be too late. Likewise, the Book of Claptrap enlightens us that the Spell of the Two Calvinballs must be cast on the simultaneous day of the capture of the Calvinballs. Not the day before as to early. Not the day after as two late. The 24th is not the 23rd nor is 23rd the 24th.
Pilgrim SteveO’s attempt to cast the Spell of the Two Calvinballs is heresy. It has no effect.
Warlock Judd advices that SteveO shall have 1 million points deducted for this atrocity. The magic of Warlock Judd is strong. It shall be.

With all deference to Tim the Inchwormer and his great powers, one may wonder why he gets all persnickety about the fine print on this ordinance, but generally ignores it on this one:

You’d think he even likes smelly dogs or something.

ParticipantThere once was a man from Nantucket, who tried to rhyme with the Calvinball but said “Fuck it.” The Phoenixball is back out in the wild behind the 9/11 memorial on the W&OD in Falls Church at the intersection of Little Falls Rd. “Freedom and Endurance” could easily describe why I ride bikes. The chocolate rabbits made a mess of my house. I can’t imaging what they’re going to do inside that box. Filthy vermin. New ordinance: 10 points for locating the Calvinball at night, cuz that’s when the freaks come out.

ParticipantPhoenixball (puzzle box by WOD & Little Falls) was retrieved this morning during my commute. Truly the Calvinball gods giveth and taketh away — got a late start to the day but the ball was still there, but forgot to bring pants in to work.
