Wholly, we have come for light

My poem "Cold Spring Calling-On" (for 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.

I hope my story gets into the same issue.

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.

I like the way you think.

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