Artsy fatty? That’s a new one for me. An artsy pic of your fat bike?

Sorry for the delay in getting this up, but starting on the first of January isn’t that bad. Also, I’m proud to present to you a pointless prize that doesn’t just involve eating/drinking and tagging rides. Without any further ado, here we go:
[ATTACH=CONFIG]20578[/ATTACH]

Bruce the Sleepy/josh is returning as Tim the Enchanter for a new game of Calvinball. I am the sole keeper of the scores and arbiter of the rules, although I’ll strive to be less capricious than rcannon100. I will begin the game by hiding the Calvinball and posting here.Initial Rules:

Your quest is to seek thee the gameball, hidden secretly amongst the cycling trails inside the beltway (but not to be found in any federal park).

Seek the game ball. Maketh up a new ordinance for the game. Hide the sacred ball. Post your new ordinance along with guidance on how those who follow can seek the gameball. Thou shall find, hide and post within the same hours 24.

For finding the gameball, ye shall be awarded 5 points, less a point for each day that passeth before the gameball is once again uncovered.

Ye may find the gameball but once during each rotation of the Earth. Ye may possess the gameball but once every other turn.

If your new ordinance nets three likes, ye shall likewise be award points equaling five and your ordinance shall be implemented as law of the game, which all who play must loyally adhere.

This be not organized competition. This be Calvinball. New rules are obliged to follow the spirit of Saint Calvin and Saint Hobbes. New ordinances shall not thee be bills of attainder but must generally apply to all fools of venture into our midst. New ordinances cannot benefit the ordinance’s scribe uniquely. New ordinances should make the court jester smile upon thee, and shall not place any in existential peril.

If a new ordinance shall contravene an old ordinance, the ordinance with highest net likes shall be declared the law.

Created Ordinances

Scores
Spreadsheet

Prizes
TBD

Notes
Consider Thee Calvinball a Hot-potatoe game – not a hide-and-seek game. This be not geocaching. More, we wish the Calvinball attain perpetual motion, constantly moving, from pilgrim to pilgrim. (Translation: don’t make your hides hard or your rules constraining. The more silliness the better.)
This is not a winner take all game — “The points don’t matter”
Don’t be too incestuous with your hiding and finding please, I don’t want to drop the hammer on anyone

Unless I end up in the middle of the river, I’ll be there! I’ll bring salvaged decor from last BAFS HH and help with set up. Thanks for organizing!

I am at a loss as to where to begin with what is wrong with @bikedavid in the middle of the Reflecting Pool, frozen or unfrozen, bike or no bike ….

Agreed. He’s just a bad ass.

[SarahBee]

Do you remember that year that got so cold that BikeDavid rode in the middle of the Reflecting Pool? Perhaps riding in the middle of the river is the true “wrong side”.

I think that it’s great that everyone seems to enjoy celebrating math by eating pi(e) on 3/14, and please don’t let me take away from Sunyata’s prize… but did you know that National PIE Day actually falls on my birthday – January 23rd?
https://www.worldnationaldays.com/national-pie-day-2019/

So here, let me come up with a second pointless prize that’s all about pie. Because, who minds more pie?

Post a bikey-type picture of you or a group of you enjoying pie to this thread on my birthday – January 23rd, and whichever picture amuses me the most will win a pie-related prize. This idea is very spur of the moment, but it could be a good pie server, a pie plate, or maybe even a pie baked by me (I make some good pie).

Thank you in advance for bringing cheer to my birthday, and thank you to Sunyata for the inspiration.

Let it snow!

Yasssssssss!!!!! More pie!

[SarahBee]

You have the freedom to ride whichever way gets you where you need to go. I love that about cycling!

I am told I am part of the “Freezing Saddles cabal,” and I always ride on the east side of the river (mostly the Capital Crescent Trail), so it can’t be all that wrong! If it is, I’ll just randomly change the rules for next year.

Cap crescent is a gem!

Rude. Frankly I could talk a lot about how urban planning has historically been used to socially engineer, socio/economically discriminate, and assess arbitrary moral judgements to geographical features so that we have terms such as “wrong side” or “right side”, but I don’t want to even go into it here. I’ll leave my statement unamended- “rude”.

[SarahBee]

Best pointless prize ever! Love this!!!!!!!
