    Dense thicket was more for syllable count. It’s in a clear bag in the undergrowth behind the boundary stone in my photo.

    I got the Optimal Wit, which I’ve consumed in bottles many times before. It was enjoyable, tasted like beer, and got to enjoy some good company (this was an impromptu BAFS happy hour two Fridays ago).

    What WHAT??? You make a Jonathan Edwards reference and you are NOT going to come up with more dogma??? COME ON! You cant get away with that. As Luther said, “If you are going to sin, sin boldly.” You have released the beast – – – so let’s hear your best fire and brimstone!!

    Damn it, I didn’t want to come up with an ordinance. Here’s my proposal:

    If you tag your Calvinball retrieval ride with #calvinball on Strava, then you will receive floor(n/2) bonus points where n is the length in miles of the ride (rounded down).

    Include this info in your post here for scoring purposes as well.

    Forgive me Tim for I have sinned. I have neglected to hide the Calvinball for many days, but now the deed is done. How shall a simple pilgrim be forgiven?

    There’s a consumable so consider consuming on premises. Also, the ball has moved from Virginia to Maryland (albeit very close to DC). As the beginning of my penance, I will not include a proposed ordinance, for I am not worthy.

    I was there as well, and am visible in the photo.

    Anyone have kids and a kid-accommodating bike I can borrow? Just need one ride to get on to the leaderboard. :D

    OK, the Calvinball and the Nivlacball have both been hidden, and they have each crossed state lines.

    Calvinball (leaving Virginia):
    Across from Bardo
    Under Frederick Douglass
    Hope you’re not too short

    Nivlacball (leaving DC):
    Like “Sex and Candy”
    Looking over Potomac
    Left of the concrete

    I’m just going to propose one ordinance, and I have no more dogs available for photos. Also, a reminder that SteveO’s ordinance regarding puzzle boxes is applicable (the Nivlacball is the puzzle box with new stuff inside).

    Ordinance:
    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).

    Ok well I’m risking it (and I was too close to skip it).[ATTACH=CONFIG]16350[/ATTACH] Thanks for the swag NemaVeze, will get both hidden tonight.

    Is there a prohibition against holding both the Calvinball and Nivlacball simultaneously?

    Yeah I noticed that too, wasn’t sure if it was just me when it got bad. It had subsided the next time I was out there.

    I’m thinking I may have misplaced my bike headlight in one of the two Calvinball bags. If you retrieve one of them, and there’s a Cygolite headlight in there, could you let me know? Thanks.

    EDIT: For the record, I did. Had to go deep into DC and extract it. Calvinballs are both still in place as of 9pm or so.
