Ever play Cannon Ball?

A few weeks ago I was enjoying a great session at eighteenth street when I drifted close to a group of  surfers (highschool age or so) who were talking about drinking, fighting, stupid movies and chicks (pretty much in that order). After a few minutes I heard one of them say "There's tons of jelly fish! Anybody want to play Cannon Ball?"
Cannonball Jellyfish - From BeachHunter.net
I'd never heard of the game but the next thing I know jellyfish are flying in all directions.  Everyone in the group is grabbing them and throwing them back and forth as fast as they can (see beachhunter.net/thingstoknow/jellyfish/ for info on cannonball jellyfish and other jelly fish occasionally found here).

Surfer 1: "That one turned inside out, gross!"
Surfer 2: "Oh no! Some of the juice got in my eyes when I threw it! It burns!"
Surfer 3: "I almost got you!"
Surfer 1: "Yeah! Faceshot!"
Surfer 3: "Ahhh! You got it in my eye's!"
Surfer 1: (Laughs hysterically)
Surfer 3: "Come here! I'm gonna kill you!"
(Mock battle between friends ensues)

Though I didn't participate, it was fun to watch while waiting for waves. How about you? Ever play Cannon Ball?

Stay stoked,
DH
