Hmmm, I’d look for the Suzy wearing the shirt! WTH is Tapatalk? Don’t answer that. Rhetorical question!

Proposed ordinance:

If thou shalt include an “animal” with the Calvinball, extra pointes shall be awarded as per discretion of Tim the Sleepy (recommendation: the better thy animal, more be the pointes)

I would like this ordinance if it applies for past animals in 2020 😁

We didn’t decide to give more points if an item is replaced?

Could you explain the Conte’s “King Henry” hint to me? Was it because of Richmond Ave? There was also a Chestnut St. in Falls Church and a book called King Henry of Chestnut or something like that. Half of those stores have green or tan walls. Lol!

The Chestnut King???

How do I find the pointless prize leaderboard? Does it exist yet? Is there still a Hains Point PP or is it just not up yet? What are the rules for Hains?

How does mile 1 equal both 10 points and 20 points?

So there’s a general picture page somewhere in the bowels of the Freezing Saddles Matrix where my pictures from strava are supposedly going?

I’ve been having a few problems on my iPhone that I’ve been able to find ways to work around, but they work inconsistently and don’t make sense. I’m not a programmer for one thing.

1. I tried changing the settings in my profile, which was my first “mistake”.

A. I tried WYSIWYG. That resulted in not being able to “like” posts, an essential part of Calvin Ball.

1. I tried going back to basic and standard, but now I’m having trouble posting pictures. Does anyone know what the default setting is for our forum? Basic or standard? The pictures will now only upload through a separate “attachment” page which seems buggy. For instance:

a. My pictures are consistently posting UPSIDE DOWN. If I repost a few times I’ll eventually get one to post right side up without editing. It’s time-consuming and annoying. I guess the idea of an attachment page is to save your pictures to use later, but I think I’d rather go back to just being able to post them one at a time without that page. I’m not sure. The upside down thing is especially weird and hard to correct since it has no consistency. Could it be when my phone takes a picture at a certain angle? If so, it’s not showing that way in my phone or on Strava. Maybe iPhone corrects it and they understand, but FS does not?

b. I’ll just stop here because I can’t keep track of my own outline . . .

OH, one more thing. Is the comment under your name i.e. regular member, cute member, new member, elite member, etc., randomly generated or is there a god-like OZ controlling those at some level? According to subject? Overall? More to the point, is there just a better way to win freezing saddles than riding and who do I see with my army of sunglass-wearing heroes?

Calvinball has been re-stashed in the District! Near the Capitol of the free world you shall find it. In a back alley behind a flying bovine and a vampire’s favorite office. If you need a hint, I have 3 words for you: hurray, blend, saying! (Or just check my Strava ride)

Tougher than it looked! (Those inanimate creatures are holding the Calvin Ball. A little blurry!)

I got there shortly after 8:30 and stayed later than was wise for a Monday night, drinking Old Overholt and soda. My Apple Watch measured the karaoke at 95 dB from my perch at the bar.

If you find it please assign me demerits.

I did end up stopping at Dewdrop tonight. Even though it wasn’t freezing there was frozen stuff out there and I didn’t like that. I spoke with Awad and couldn’t find it. He thought Jason was the guy who suggested hiding it under the steps on the porch. It was very icy but thin enough ice you could get your feet and knees wet searching. Blech.

I left a note with Awad with my phone number in case it turns up and he was keen on helping.

This is the one thing about Calvin Ball that’s no fun – loosing stuff. I think I’m just in an extra anxious mood today as well.

I hope it turns up!

Any chance we could convince you to move this off of the Calvinball thread? Please? Thanks.

Should be gone!

It was under the steps to the right of the door from the bar to the deck. The bartender thought of the hiding spot! I don’t know his name.

I probably won’t get there tonight with this weather.

I’m still a little stuck in a format that’s advanced that I thought I got out of, but is still there when I sign in. I can get out to “like” things and post pictures by clicking on “full site” at the bottom of the page. Does anyone know how to get out of that mode in settings permanently since it doesn’t seem to work?

BTW, there are some kinds of capricious gods in the forum. I believe my status went from “elite” to “amusingly cute” (or something like that), back to boring “regular member/standard member” (or whatever, I can’t see it now). 😳

Well I got some surprisingly spirited Monday night karaoke out of it!

If Calvinball #1 does not reappear within 24 hours, I will activate a new Calvinball!

This frustrates the idiosyncrasies of interdimensional travel and transmogrification, and saddens Hobbs and I greatly. There were some very nice socks and other very useful things in there. Sigh.

I did hear back from the first place I tried and they are happy to host in the future, so that’s good!

I’ll possibly stop by tonight after the snow to doublecheck Dew Drop.

You asked around a bit? Did anyone remember it?
