I've just been staying at home not getting anything done. I guess it doesn't bother me. Shrug. I haven't been up to anything. I haven't gotten much done today.

For a better explanation, you can read the rules for 3-on-3 trangleball here... http://www.trangleball.com/TAG3on3.html

Wait a second, is that thing in the middle a triangle or a *pyramid*? A ball isn't going to bounce funny off a flat triangle. And by the picture in the article, you can't tell exactly what that yellow thing is.

Actually, I did see Trangleball and it's inventor at the American Inventor auditions in New York. We both made it into the next round and got flown out to Los Angeles, where we were both, sadly, cut...

after further exploration on the trangleball site, it seems like they actually have tournaments on fire island. crazy!

I have played this on the holodeck numerous times. Great fun! I like to play 3D chess afterwards to unwind. A balanced meal of entertainment!

there is a much better game then this, called SquareBall, invented on Narragansett Beach, in Rhode Island, by me. I am always impressed by the stupid things that hipsters in Brooklyn come up with. Some days, I'm surprised that I haven't already shot myself in the face.

lol at the bullet ball comment. this looks like a stoner game. like the game my floormates had freshman year that was basically hackey sack with a lighter. instead of hack

is bulletball the one that was on american inventor or whatever that abc show is called? b/c that game looked like crap. though, i do feel sorry for the guy that poured his life into that.

This is played all over Long Island and Fire Island. It's set up and ready to go. Love it, love it, love it.

seems like a direct ripoff of the elementary school game, boxball.

if your oppenent gets a point by not catching the ball, what is their incentive to ever catch the ball?
