--- Quote from: Carl-E on 19 May 2011, 18:58 ---OK, for those not familiar with the game;
It's baseball, with the small white leather covered projectile replaced by a large rubber air-filled ball, and the bat replaced with your foot. The ball is "pitched" along the ground, and you kick it, with roughly the same rules applying - four bases, three "strikes" and you're out, fielders pick up and throw the ball, you're out if you're tagged with the ball, etc. The field positions are even the same, although the outfielders are closer in, and I thnk the diamond's usually smaller than a regulation baseball diamond.
It's a popular way to get the unathletic out and running around in school gym classes, so it's been taught in american schools for years. And it's a better use for those balls than the sadistic game of dodgeball.
Oh, wait. There's a website.

When I was a kid playing kickball, fielders could tag out runners, but beaning them with the ball was also a perfectly acceptable way to achieve a put-out.
Was it different for your region/age group?

woah woah woah hey woah. I've won $150 dollars playing frisbee golf. Respect the games, bro.

I feel like this about BMX. I googled Kickball. BMX > Kickball.
I loved Jeph's Tumblr comic, especially his new, and in my opinion best ever, Fart-chan.
cat_rant:
Oh Jeph. Chill. Deep breathes. We all are human, we are fallible. We all have bad days. Artistic temperament means you will hold yourself to a very high standard and then feel utterly fail when you don't met up to your own standard. Chalk it up to a bad day. Mind yourself and try again tomorrow.
My other half writes games as a hobby. He is very critical and I see this kind of frustration from time to time. He feels he left his players down when this happens.
For what its worth I see the bonercats could be a very awesome poster. I'd buy one!
Blackjoker:
Ah, the awkward zone, and they lack both funny hats and direct common interests to defeat the awkward zone, and sadly also lack easy access to fancy clothing to celebrate its defeat.
