Transcript:
Jason: Before we engage in snowball combat, we should probably establish the ground rules. Marcus: Good idea. Jason: First, no throwing ice balls. Marcus: Agreed. What about slush balls? Jason: Slush balls are fine. Marcus: What if they freeze into ice balls midflight? Jason: That'd be an act of God. Acts of God are ok. Marcus: So no need for an apology? Jason: Apologies are good form, but optional. Marcus: Should we limit taunts? Jason: Not sure. Taunting is a big part of my game. Marcus: How 'bout we only allow witty taunts? Jason: I can live with that. Marcus: What's your stance on time outs? Jason: I'm thinking we each get one timeout, with unlimited ones for injury. Marcus: Wimp. Jason: Should we set a maximum throwing velocity? Marcus: I'd rater limit momentum. Should we make a chart for various masses? Jason: Gah. I wish snow didn't melt so fast. j Marcus: Hmm, maybe we need to set ground rules for our ground rules.

That’s what I liked about living in the San Francisco bay area. The winters were over before I got tired of them!

It is all for the best. Jason can throw a snowball about one foot before it comes into contact with the ground.

Not to sound like a political weenie, but it’s a darned shame real life won’t allow more wars to end this way.
