    Here is the clue as a haiku:

    Near Fisherman’s Cove
    Four Mile Run and Flooding
    Delectable stench!

    Ok I’m very confused now…has it been acquired from Merry-land? And has it been re hidden? If so what are the clues?

    Thanks

    Yes! Yes! It has been rehidden and is now in the District of Christopher Columbus across the border of Merry-land. Details and clues are on the post with thy number that is The Answer To Everything (see The Hitchhiker’s Guide To The Galaxy for explanation).

    A new Calvin Ball has been hidden as well. Details to come!!

    I’d support same day points if the contents are updated too. Half the fun, for me at least, is finding fun things to include in the booty. Plus this is a little extra effort on part of the finder. I defer to Bruce the sleepy.

    Hobbes seconds the girl’s support (I’m not sure I’m permitted to second silly girl’s comments according to clubhouse rules. Please forgive my adherence to sacred bylaws. Bruce the Sleepy must rule). The Calvin Ball has new objects within!

    If I read the ordinance correctly, you need to take a selfie with someone else holding the Calvinball (looks like you were holding it–not the other person. Bruce the Sleepy will need to rule.)

    Also, you can just click on the links in my post if you’d like to see the what3words locations.

    Hmmph, if so inanimate objects and non-anthropomorphic animals shouldn’t count either!

    Plus! Ken’s shoulder is holding it too!!

    So the Spanish words mean thigh faster palace, but they must be entered on the website as one word with periods. I’ll try that when I get a chance.

    Also: points for moving the Calvin Ball to another state. Plus same day and selfie points and regular old points, please, please!

    Might be good to ā€œfindā€ it as quickly as possible. The maven and a client thought this was a safe spot, but other mavens were concerned about unauthorized pickups at similar locations. I don’t think anyone will be at this spot right away though.

    I give up. None of those searches work on the website, not even the Spanish. Or the thighs or quick steps. I think it thinks I’m in NYC . . . 😬

    So, ā€œMuscle Quick Stepā€ gets me no results. You must have meant the Spanish. I shall go back and find that and see what happens.

    I think we few, we happy few, we band of Calvin Ball Players and Associates, LTD, should be happy to occasionally break free of our comfort zones and scamper ever into the realms of transmogrification, enlisting others to likewise break free from the bonds of their daily squares (such as the mega-focused Joan Britt, who verily expressed interest as well as confusion, but could not be tempted from her daily literal squares even when the damn ball was placed on her route!). I’m pretty sure I heard Emm say, ā€œOooo, oooo, I want to take over Calvin Ball next year!ā€

    I’m so lost in another dimension that I ended up here in 2020. I hope I can find my way back and not circle endlessly in another decade.

    I’d like to learn more, but I’m nowhere near programmer, i.e., I have no idea what you’re talking about with languages, etc. BUT it would be nice to know how to get myself out of the holes I dig myself into! I’m in DC so . . .

    I do most of my Freezing Saddles on an iPhone 6s and I like Calvin Ball which means sometimes looking at the site on the fly and uploading pics, at least at home.

    Well, the text is annoyingly tiny on the phone, perhaps something I could even fix on the phone itself, but tonight I started messing with ā€œenhancedā€ settings for mobile which looked much nicer but dug me into some kind of hole where I can’t even ā€œlikeā€ posts which is important for Calvin Ball. I thought I reset my settings to ā€œbasicā€, but advanced views keep showing up anyway. I’m a simple (minded lol!) guy and I’d like fewer things that can go wrong. There is also a standard option. And somewhere else there’s a WYSIWUG option. The only computers we had as teens were Commodores. I did not do that although I think I had an old one later. In other words I can’t even negotiate the choices that are already programmed without getting into trouble. Hoping I can eventual get back to settings that work and don’t ask me to purchase a special programming deal.

    I’m not even sure how I got this to be right side up, maybe it happened in ā€œadvancedā€. BUT, I updated the likes on the pending ā€œselfieā€ request and should get extra Calvin Points for that (assuming there were no unlikes since). FIVE!? Plus I moved it the same day, so more gosh diddly dang it points. Now go find it! At my first choice the bar maven couldn’t commit to hosting, but maybe another time. The meade with Ken was great btw! We should have a Calvin and Hobbes meeting there someday!
