Applied Dadaism: Fun and Games, Friday morning, main campfire

[superartie]

Artie awaited his campers in the main campfire area as usual.

Well, almost as usual. Today he was wearing a football helmet and seemed to have stuck a playground ball up his shirt.

It’s best not to ask, really.

“Welcome, campers! I hope all of you had a very pipe week. I know I have. The weather seems to have become Dada in our honor! And tasty! I’m sure you all have your own Dada stories to tell today, as well!”

Once the reporting on their days of Dada was done, Artie pulled the ball from beneath his shirt and bounced it on his head a few times. “Some of you know that I ran detention this weekend. We had a very successful game of dodgeball, there. So successful that I have decided that today, we are going to play our own game! Dada dodgeball!”

The field was nicely clear of kittens, butterflies, and pudding. There are six five-gallon buckets and twine, creating a rectangular playing field divided down the middle.

“These are your rules!” Artie held up a piece of paper with the words “rules for dodgeball” written on it in bright, friendly letters. Then he ripped it apart. “Have fun!”

Kawalsky didn't wait for instructions. He picked up a nerf ball and pegged it at Jamie. His aim wasn't fantastic though as it was thrown with his 'wrong' arm.

Re: Play ball!

Jamie actually jumped in front of the mis-aimed ball allow it to bounce off his chest and creating a duplicate.

"By the power of the Nerf ball I now declare myself king of all Nerfs! If you worship me with stuffed animals you shall all get cookies!"

"No bribing the players!" Kawalsky yelled back. This time he threw a water balloon at the original Jamie. Left or right, his aim with water balloons was pipe.

Re: Play ball!

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

Jamie let the water balloon hit him, soaking him and creating another duplicate.

"Woe! I am wet and have no trident! I must be out!" Original Jamie said as he walked over to the Out of the game box.

The duplicate however picked up a stuffed Honey Suckle from My little Pony and hurled it back at Kawalsky.

"Fly pretty spreadable cheese! Fly!"

Artie was quite impressed with Jamie's continued display of understanding and implementation of Dada.

He started decorating Jamie's Dada crown with stickers.

Kaylee found a stuffed gremlin. Then she attempted to throw it directly at Jamie.

Re: Play ball!

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

The gremlin bounced of Jamie. He looked down horrified at the stuffed Gremlin.

"OMG! You killed it!"

Jamie then proceeded to hold a funeral service for said stuffed gremlin.

"We are gathered here today to pay tribute to this stuffed monster. He had a good life amoung the vegetables. His only crime was that he loved unicorns and water bottles."

Jamie then sat down on the gremlin finishing the ceremony.

And threw a take out container from McMooby back at Kaylee. "SnickleFritz!"

Re: Play ball!

Kaylee managed to dodge the container. She then threw a water balloon at Jamie. "That's for the gremlin!"

Re: Play ball!

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

Jamie sat up and let the water balloon hit the gremlin. "Thank you! Even though he was dead he was very thirsty!"

He looked down and then picked up the gremlin.

"HE'S ALIVE! HE'S ALIVE!"

He then threw it back at Kaylee.

In honor of her roommate, Marie picked up a stray frog and threw it at Jamie.

Yeah, she totally throws like a girl.

Re: Play ball!

Jamie caught the frog and then promptly sat down to discuss Thomas Hobbes's objections to Descartes' Meditations.

Seeing that the frog had no interest in Hobbes or Descartes he threw the frog back at Marie with a hearty bellow of "Pineapple Booger!"

Marie caught the frog and gave it a hug before putting it down to hop safely out of the line of fire.

She rummaged through the buckets and grabbed some water balloons. "This is because you tried to kill a frog to death with boredom!" she called.

Jamie let the water splash over him and he suddenly began to dance and sing.


Just a steel town girl on a Saturday night
Looking for the fight of her life
In the real time world no one sees her at all
They all say she's crazy

Locking rythms to the beat of her heart
Changing movement into the light
She has danced into the danger zone
When the dancer becomes the dance

It can cut you like a knife
If the gift becomes the fire
On the wire between will and what will be

She's a maniac on the floor
And she's dancing maniac on the floor
And she's dancing like she's never danced before

Tim throws like a Tim. but he didn't throw the embroidered cat pillow at her very hard.

Tyler tossed two frogs, hard, at Jamie.

Ribbit.

Re: Play ball!

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

The frogs bounced off Jamie creating two more duplicates.

The hit Jamie went off to the Out corner.

One of the duplicates started hopping around like a frog.

The other one looked at Tyler curiously and said "Your hair is not the color of a kumquat. Please write a 100 word essay on the reason why."

Re: Play ball!

[tyler-gone.livejournal.com]

Tyler crossed his arms.

"No. And all of you are very strange."

Walter threw a koosh ball at Jamie. "Take that, Sigmund!"

Re: Play ball!

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

The ball hit Jamie where he promptly sat down and began to psychoanalyse Walter.

He then announced with an Austrian accent: "Valter has bin without the touch uf his mudda. Therefore ze moost be out or be called Vally for ze rest of ze day."

Re: Play ball!

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

Walter threw a rubber fish at a non-psychoanalyzing Jamie. "My name is Fishgrenade, but because you are lonely, you may call me Wally."

Tim threw a handfull of grass at him.

Stark had no idea how to play regular dodgeball. He was pretty sure you were supposed to dodge balls though. And possibly throw them as well.

So he threw a stuffed dragon at Jamie. A stuffed dragon with three water balloons attached, since it seemed the thing to do at the time.
