Here's a series of photos that shows my journey as I drive to church for evening service. By the intensity and length of the blurs, you can calculate the amount of energy I'm putting into my afterburners at any given moment. The last couple pictures show the customized ball my brother and I use for "pegball".

Pegball is a very fun game that I just named. It was created by me and my brother.

Here is how you play:

The standard game ball needs to be pretty small and relatively hard. There is pain involved.

The throw ball can be the same ball as the peg ball, but it doesn't have to be. My brother and I play both ways.

First, you take the throw ball and throw it back and forth at each other. The general "strike" zone is pretty much an arm's radius around your torso. The throw ball we use is either a beanbag or a indoor nerf basketball. The beanbag is fast and hard to catch, but the nerf basketball allows for some pretty crazy pitches.

If you throw a strike, and the other person does not catch it (or drops it), then you get a peg. The other person needs to turn around facing the wall, and you peg them with the peg ball. We've used a bean bag for our peg ball, and when it started breaking, we taped it up a little with masking tape.

The game really develops your reflexes, since there's a lot to lose if you don't catch the ball speeding at you. It also develops your pitching ability, because if you earn a peg and miss, then you pretty much wasted a golden opportunity.

There isn't really any score involved in the game, but there's a ton of adrenaline and action. It's really, really fun...

We've only broken one picture frame so far... We've discovered ways to play it safer though... Haha.

We've both been pegged a couple times pretty hard, but there's definitely a lot of misses. It's hard to describe the relief you feel when a bean bag going light speed slams into the wall a couple microns from your head.

I guess this is why people enjoy playing games like paintball... I've never really wanted to play paintball because I heard it hurts a lot.

Our new motto for made up games is "No pain, no game". ;-)
