who cares if you're crazy. just as long as we're keeping you amused.

ahem.

you're not wearing a mask, singing or holding a CalvinBall or stuffed tiger. i hereby fine you -25*i ( i being the imaginary constant ) and order you into the pernicious poem zone.

not (?) finding a flag at the center of the Calvinball the score is now:
E/M ( or maybe M/E)

Oh, gosh! How could I miss that!

It is
E/M
by the way, and should be
34701131432.065609 squared-mps
but still, I should kill myself for not finding out. But I'm used to the metric system!

sweet little innocent me? i have no idea what you're talking about.

no. the speed of light in standard Statute miles is 186,282.397 miles per second (mps). 34701131432.065609 mps is the result FROM squaring that number. as it's not being used to measure area, it's just considered a raw number.

It is E/M by the way

not if we are in the (properly) undeclared "Opposite Zone".

But I'm used to the metric system!

that's me, doing my bit to confuse Frenchmen wherever and whenever possible.

i fine both daetara and Voral Fred -i*25 owner points for conduct detrimental to the sport of CalvinBall ( as in, all y'all are just jabbering and not playing ). can you tell i watch NASCAR?

If you square a speed in mps, you get squared-mps, or (squared miles)per(squared second), not a raw number. If it were a raw number it would have the same value in metric system and would be useless to confuse Frenchmen

I therefore declare an "Unopposite Unzone", fine BKM by 150 noncommutative Hamilton's "j" quaternions, grant daetara 300 noncommutative Hamilton's "k" quaternions plus five fat live mice for her to play with, and I end up the winner with 34701131432.065609 squared gazillions squared miles of fields of "herbe Ã chats".

unfornutatly, due to rule 256.F, the winner cannot be declared until a concensus is reached.
Therefore I gain possesion of the calvinball, and undeclare a reverse zone,

You must eralced a reverse zone, not declare it, therefore you lose your 700 points. I take the calvinball and declare typing fast with pinkies pnly, nom backspascomng...

Thats the one.

I did not declare it hence the (undeclared), so your efforts are for nought! (insert evil laugh here). I do get 500 bonus points for being in the wobbly wicket of wonder zone as the buzzer calls 1/8th time, and dont declare a retaliatory riddle zone over the whole field.

I am five items of an everyday sort,
You will find us all in a tennis court.
What are we?

YOur riddle has been solved in a different thread, therefore you lose all your points. Moreover, I steal your Calvinball mask, so you cannot play anymore until you find a new one (this is an incontrovertible rule) and all stores within 1000 miles are out of masks.
I eralcednu a esrevernu enoznu, take the Calvinball in hiding with me and go to sleep for one hundred years.
The score is thus one Prince Charming to one spindle.

the grim squeaker · Post by **the grim squeaker** » Thu Jun 05, 2008 4:25 am

I dont want to play anymore

Oh, my hand is forced. RIGHT THEN

I declare a next post irrelevant zone that encompasses the entire field, thus scoreing 1000 dastardlyness points.

I am wearing my black mask and I jump into the Calvinball game!

I find you in hiding and wake you up early, taking your spindle, gain all of your points and have formed an aliance with....................ROSALYN!!

Fortunatly, I cheated and manipulated my previously dead post, so the score is now 1000 to hersheybar in my favour.
