I think we should limit the number of games posted by a single person to 400. Sorry SqrlCub but now you’re gonna have to cut back. It’s official, no more than 400 games per week. Just kidding…or am I. Your games are great…Just kidding…or am I.

This game is the “confuse the hell out of everybody who tries to read the thread.”

Any method is employable. You can…

change word spelling. switch word sequences. drug readers with chloroform. speak in a Yoda-esque style.

whatever you want goes.

Just don’ut squirrel the beat and the pell-o jurple.

Actually, this thread reminded me immediately of [**ssskuggiii** and his amazingly ambiguous “joke”](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=49883). But **Badtz** _is_ correct about [that thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=49959).

My analyst told me that I was right out of my head  
He said I’d need treatment but I’m not that easily led  
He said I was the type that was most inclined when out of his sight to be out of my mind -  
And he thought I was nuts  
No more ifs or ands or buts.

They say as a child I appeared a little bit wild  
with all my crazy ideas  
But I knew what was happenin’ - I knew I was a genius.  
What’s so strange when you know that you’re a wizard at three?  
I knew that this was meant to be.

Well I heard little children are supposed to sleep tight  
And that’s why I got into the bottle one night  
My parents got frantic didn’t know what to do  
But I saw some crazy scenes before I came to now -

Do you think I was crazy?  
I may have been only three but I was swingin’!

They all said \<angry young men?\>  
They all said Edison and also an Einstein  
But why should I feel sorry if they just couldn’t understand the idiomatic logic that went on in my head?  
I had a brain it was insane  
Oh they used to laugh at me when I refused to ride on those double-decker buses  
Because there was no driver on the top.

(Man, this chick is twisted!)

My analyst told me that I was right out of my head  
But I said dear doctor I think that it’s you instead  
Because I have got a thing that’s unique and new  
To prove that I’ll have the last laugh on you  
'Cuz instead of one head - I’ve got two!  
And you know that two heads are better than one…
