The strength of Crazyball lies in the ability to make anything part of the game. Somebody’s mask slips and covers their eyes? Not a problem! It’s Blind Crazyball inning! Somebody over-exerts and pukes? There’s the new “No-Go Zone”. Easy! You’ve been playing the game for the first twenty minutes without an actual ball? Points and Perks given to whoever supplies a ball! Perfect!
By the way, the list of perks in the last panel? I was going to write the work as ‘Perq’. Until, of course, Spellcheck told me that was wrong. Spellcheck then got the usual cursing out until I looked it up on Google. Turns out the correct diminutive of ‘Perquisite’ ISN’T ‘Perq’. Though it should be. Stupid language.
I’m pretty sure it USED to be ‘Perq’. And it still should be.
I don’t *think* it was ever “perq” and I’ve been at this nearly as long as you, but I won’t be astonished if someone comes up with counter-examples.
Bowling ball would be silly, so would a birdie (and would give rise to debate on if it qualifies as a ball.) Superball might get lost, at least until the sun went down and people could see it glowing in the dark. Rubber band ball? Duct tape ball that keeps getting larger as people add layers?
A ping-pong ball of course.
A ping pong ball of course.
A classic Pritz 3-1/4 inchies in diameter mades with untreated ibex hide and stuffed with bluejay feathers.
Frozen turkey wrapped in used kayak duct tape.
A cannonball from a nearby memorial.
An empty cardboard box, slovenly and sparsely duck taped.
Also hilarious punishments for the poor sod under whose hands the contraption collapses.
Medicine ball.
Greg didn’t forget the ball. The players forgot the ball.
A ball bearing.
I think I’ve seen “perq” sometimes. but I’ve also seen “wah-la” so that doesn’t mean it’s correct.
PERQ
Make it so. You have the power.
one of those huge balls from “The Prisoner” 6′ or larger.
I’ve known the meaning of “perk” for some time.
NOW I know it comes from “perquisite”, a word I’d never heard of.
If this site becomes any more educational, I don’t know if I’ll be able to stand it.
Hubris comics: come for the pretty drawings, stay for the learnings!
Oh! Beach ball!
I am Crazeyball!
As long as you aren’t Snipityball. That’s a job for the veternarian.
Or a Urologist
An Orange. It’s a ball shaped object and in this case, it’s a Juiceball!
Pretty sure you’re the last person who remembers it stands for ‘perquisite’….
Not anymore… 😛
