the kids aren't alright.
what happens one day when three slightly mentally unstable siblings return from a particularly hyperactive game of tennis one sunday night, not ready to go to bed..?
they invent a game. :) mehehe.
the mechanics of bedroom baseball:
1) it involves, normally, four players: the pitcher [no, not the jug], the batter [no, not the thing with flour and water in it], the fielder and the referee. in cases where there is a lack of a fourth player, due perhaps to the absence of one sibling who resides overseas, or perhaps just plain good fortune of NOT having so many siblings, the fielder can double up as the referee.
2) the players stand in a diamond [though, truly, a square, a rectangle, a rhombus, a quadilateral, or any other shape with four points will suffice.] of course, if you only have three, the only shape you can form is a triangle. more pity to you.
3) the pitcher is armed with a ball [or in this case: a teddy bear], the batter with a bat [or in this case: a bolster], and the fielder with the ability to save the pitcher's life.
4) the pitcher takes aim, throws the ball/bear as hard as he/she can at the batter.
5) the ref shouts: strike one, strike two.. and all that jazz. if the batter strikes out, they rotate position. but if the batter manages to gain CONTACT..
6) the batter is then given the liberty to whack the pitcher with the bat/bolster as HARD and as repetitively as they want to.
7) the fielder then has to retrieve the ball/bear from wherever it has fallen, and throw the ball/bear at the batter. only when contact is made between the ball/bear and the batter, can the batter stop hitting the pitcher and the pitcher's life be saved.
8) everyone then rotates position and the game continues.
as you can tell, this game acts more as an excuse to abuse your siblings than anything else, but that, my friends, is the crux of the game.. muahahahaha..! PHYSICAL ASSAULT UNDER COMPLETELY INNOCENT CIRCUMSTANCES! they make for the best sports. :P
anyway, just in case anyone wanted a sample of bedroom baseball, here is a little video sampler for you.
*disclaimer: this is a highly retarded and very bad video and SHOULD NOT be viewed. EVER. :) well, except by sookie, because she asked me so very nicely. also, yes, my sister likes tweety bird. and also, yes, there is a very large and very unattractive poster of person X on my glass cabinet. please note that this poster has not been moved since the year 1997, and is still there more out of deference to its relic-like status than actual appreciation for said person. hehe.
i told you so. -shakes head- sigh.. suckers for punishment..
ciao!
