calvinball

you know, all this bullshit seems to me a calvinball game. for those who are not familiar with the comic strips of young calvin and his best friend hobbes (who happens to be a stuffed tiger who gains life in the boy's little world), calvinball is a game they both play with a ball, a mask on their faces, and everything they can get to the game; the basic rule is there is no defined rules, being each of the players in the field able to make up rules - any rule - as the game unfolds. and, of course, penalties, several penalties with water, ball headshots, blindfolded runs and stuff like that (usually hobbes outsmarts calvin). no rules - all players do as they see fit, and any rule can be created at any given moment with the single purpose of screwing up the other player. and, of course, to get out of any attempt of screwing up.

and no, applied to real life a "calvinball" game is not only anarchic - it's purely entropic, and in the end, it will cause too much damage to all players.
