Fizzball: Spring 2006
Automated disclaimer: This post was written more than 15 years ago and I may not have looked at it since.
Older posts may not align with who I am today and how I would think or write, and may have been written in reaction to a cultural context that no longer applies. Some of my high school or college posts are just embarrassing. However, I have left them public because I believe in keeping old web pages alive—and it's interesting to see how I've changed.
Fizzball was a success! Then again, how can baseball not be a success! Then again, how can baseball not be a success, when you replace the bats with axe handles and the balls with shaken soda cans?
Science and Humanities puts on an event called "fizzball" once every semester, open to the campus. Here's the deal:
- You hit the can pitched to you.
- Drink your kill, messily if possible.
- Repeat until all cans are gone.
This generally results in a sticky, muddy mess with bits of aluminum strewn about. I personally had my eyelids stuck open and a cut on my hand from a "Mountain Lighting" (read: cheap Mountain Dew knockoff).
Score: soda 1, SciHum 144.
