So, question.

[conuly]

If I were to, say, organize a game of Calvinball, would you be interested in playing? Yes, no, maybe so?

definitely yes.

[eighthcloud.livejournal.com]

Psh. Totally.

You can't "organize" a game of Calvinball!

[conuly]

Well, no, but you can get a group of people to get together. That's really the best that one can do.

[jackshoegazer.livejournal.com]

Oh, good. Thanks for the clarification!

[lakidaa.livejournal.com]

yes, but as other poster said, ye' cannae organize one, it has to 'happen'.

[conuly]

It can happen with some prodding.

[lakidaa.livejournal.com]

all you have to do is sit, with suspiciously cordoned off areas and a ball.

No; I think it'd be too unstructured for me and I'd be confused or extremely unsure what to do. I'm not sure whether I'd enjoy myself.

On the other hand, I have a pretty bad record at being able to identify in advance what sort of activities I'd enjoy myself at and what not.

Yes! I get to bat first!

[marveen.livejournal.com]

In that case, I call quarterback.

Is it even physically possible to "organize" a game of Calvinball?

[conuly]

After a fashion.

1. Tell a lot of people that you're playing Calvinball at some point in the very near future.
2. Tell them they're invited to join in.
3. Tada.

YES!

(And when you do it with cards, it's either Cranko or Safety.)

[arikatt.livejournal.com]

YES

Not that I live close enough to play, but what is Calvinball?

[conuly]

...

Calvinball? Game played by Calvin and Hobbes? Random number of equipment items, no rules (or infinite rules, depending on how you view it)...?

definitely yes.
