I've got this great new sport:

*tosses one of those red schoolyard rubber balls*

Alright, now you've got the rock. You have to place your forehead against this whiffleball bat and spin around ten times. Then, see those wickets lined up? You're going to need to wind your way through them without knocking any over. Now, there's a bucket nailed to a tree at the end, and you're going to try to shoot your ball in while standing on one leg, hopping in circles, and singing an old Jimmy Durante song at the top of your lungs.

Meanwhile, I've got all of these nerf guns, and I'm trying to knock you off track. However, I'm wearing a blindfold, so it's a bit tricky. And if you end up making your shot, I can steal your point by balancing this bucket of pond water on my head while reciting Henry V's "Saint Crispin's Day Speech" without spilling.

That's just Act I of the first trimester. You'll get a hang of it as we go. I call it Pantherball (any similarities to "Calvinball" are purely coincidental)
