The reason this tag exists is because I used to have a subdirectory in my website called /fun (now most of it is in /about with a bit in /projects). Unfortunately, this tag got *really* overused, for instance the 汉字 post is tagged "fun" for no good reason. It's now the most common tag of my blog. This tag is very useless and more specific tags like "humor" or "satire" should be used instead.

Nexthouseball is a sport played in the hallway between the storage room and the west stairwell in the MIT Next House dorm basement that combines the best of pickleball and squash.
Equipment
- 2 pickleball rackets (you may want to tape the top of the rackets to avoid scratches)
- 1 pickleball
- 1 Next House
Court
Designate a line as the center line. Nexthouseball does not use a net. Then, count ten floor tiles away from the center on both sides for the end lines. This forms the boundaries of the court.
Gameplay
- You must serve behind the end line.
- If the ball does not bounce once on your opponent's side, you lose the point.
- If the ball bounces twice on your side, you lose the point.
- The ball is allowed to hit the walls, but you lose the point if it hits the ceiling.
- You are not allowed to cross the center line.
- The person who lost the previous point serves.
- The court is slightly asymmetric, so before the match, one person decides which side they will be on while the other person serves first.
