asakiyume and her apples and vines) has been accepted by Not One of Us. This is going to be an amazing issue.In lieu of actual content, I offer a silly quiz; I haven't done one in a while. And this one is pretty silly.
Your result for How good of a Calvinball player are you?...
Your Grade= A+ Good knowledge and excellent strategy!
Amazing. You are part of the 4.3% of the population that landed in this category.* You know the game and its history well, and you did amazingly well when it came to playing Calvinball strategically.
This suggests that you probably have a natural talent in Calvinball. You have learned that the trick to doing well in Calvinball is not brute strength, but quick wit. With your natural ability you could go far.
You are definitely already talented enough to beat Calvin. A match versus the quick-witted tiger would be close. I'm going to give you the edge, but his superior knowledge of the game might propel him to victory.
* This is a made-up number.

It pleases me that the many hours of my childhood shared with Yukon Ho! and Weirdos From Another Planet were not, in fact, misspent.

It's a really good magazine!
(The poem is the same one posted a few nights ago under a different title; I'm still not sure this is its true name, so to speak, but it's at least an improvement.)

Really, that poem is dizzyingly good.

* 42/100 You scored 63% on Game_Knowledge, higher than 42% of your peers.
* 81/100 You scored 93% on Game_Skill, higher than 81% of your peers.
So, how did your breakdown go?

Damn. I have no idea. I closed the window. If I retake it quickly . . .
You scored 86% on Game_Knowledge, higher than 76% of your peers.
You scored 89% on Game_Skill, higher than 51% of your peers.
I wonder why that doesn't carry over into the postable results.
no subject
I think I got the same breakdown as you did. It could be a very interesting match
no subject
Amen.
I think I got the same breakdown as you did. It could be a very interesting match.
I don't think anyone I ever knew as a child tried to put together an actual game of Calvinball, which is an incredible shame. We should organize one next year at Readercon, or something.

Oh my. I might have to come, if you were to do that. ;-)

There seems to be something with the HelloQuizzy quizzes where sometimes the percentages don't come out in the postable results. It seems to be almost random, or something, because it seems as if some folk get theirs.
When I took the Kinkyness Test, the same thing happened to me. Fortunately, I remembered my percentage and edited it into the subject header.
My results here:
# You scored 77% on Game_Knowledge, higher than 64% of your peers.
# 81/100 You scored 93% on Game_Skill, higher than 81% of your peers.

Thank you!

Both appreciated!

Congratulations on the publication!
(And I also got an A+ in Calvinball. This strikes me as mildly fishy because although I very much enjoy Calvin & Hobbes, it's been at least a year since I read any of it ... .)

I haven't read Calvin and Hobbes in years (although I am now inspired to do so). I think your score is legitimate.

You are also a formidable opponent.
