We need to get the rules straight, of course. I don’t remember all of them, but I’m sure you all can help me.
Here’s the ones I remember-
There are seven bases but you have to go backwards from base 4 to base 3.
No one may touch the quarterback unless he’s standing on the touchdown mound.
Croquet mallets can only be used during the fifth inning, but only in self-defense.

You forgot the first and only permanent rule of Calvinball:
You can’t play it the same way twice!

Pretty sure you need a tennis racket to play this game.

Doesn’t defining rules for Calvinball defeat the purpose of Calvinball?

Well, you evaded the Zlorf queen, flew past the tyrannosaurus as a pterodactyl, navigated your way through a world without perspective, and made it to first base, but you forgot to recite a poem praising tigers’ hunting prowess, so I’ll have to dock you three points.

Are we still required to have a month-old (minimum) pickled herring stuffed in our left sock or is that only in months with 5 Thursdays?

Months with five Thursdays and a state holiday in Luxembourg. Otherwise, you can make due with kippers.

I always understood that if William Shatner and money were involved, it’s Fizbin, otherwise it’s Calvinball. Which makes distinguishing between the two at a professional level difficult.
