Pumpkaball

Pumpkaball is a game with one or more players and The Pumpkaboo (playing the role of the pumpkaball). To start, players establish an object to serve as the hoop (suggested items include receipt spikes, paper shredders, and pots of boiling water) and agree upon a distance to begin shooting from. Players take turns tossing the pumpkaball at the hoop. Bonus points are awarded based on the velocity of the throw and whether or not the shot impacts the cabinets or other backdrops.

A "double dribble" rule is in effect at all times, where players must always dribble the pumpkaball twice against the floor—bonus points for tile, double points for asphalt. Failure to do so results in a penalty: the other player initiates a kickoff and the offending player must make future shots from where the pumpkaball lands. If there are more players, each player gets to kick the pumpkaball before determining future shot locations.

While dribbling, the player may take steps toward the hoop, and if close enough, may attempt a dunk. In proper form, the player must spike the pumpkaball down through the hoop to clear it as quickly as possible.

Team play of Pumpkaball is encouraged, and teams are designated with "shirts and skins": one team leaves their shirts on, and the other team tears the skin off of the pumpkaball and wears it to distinguish them from the players with shirts.

Gordon has a house rule where instead of wearing shirts and skins, both teams instead dress in all black, take the pumpkaball down a dark alley, and beat the shit out of it and take its money. Winner is the player who takes the most money.
