I crawl on top of the snow cave in which **Kn\*ckers** is hiding. I can hear her laughing in side. Carefully and quietly I dig a small hole in the top of the snow cave. When it looks close to breaking through I holler _BOOOOO_ as my hand pushes through, showering her with snow… 😛 Come and join us I shout, as **Kn\*ckers** emerges, shaking snow from her hair. > [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Meatros \* > \*\*: **Washte, SpazCat, Lady Ice** be prepared to meet your doom.: \*\* **Washte** runs screaming right at **Meatros** with a wild grin on her face. Chuck brown snow at _me_ will ya!?! Tackles **Meatros** , pushing him into a huge snowdrift. **Meatros** is shivering and has dropped all his ammo. I offer a hand up, whisper in his ear and we both grin… with great mischief. ---

I now see a group of Dopers standing in a pattern which, I can’t help thinking, looks like ten bowling pins. I fashion a huge snowball, poke three “finger holes” in it with my fist, and roll it at them while hollering, “Zastupnik!” (for explanation, see the Boris Pasternak article in _The Voodoo MAD.)_ 😃 ---

Having been well-versed since junior high in the high art of towel combat, he whips off towel, rolls it up, and whips it at Robyn’s snowball, knocking it out of her hand and causing it to splatter harmlessly on the wall. Enters shower, turns on hot water. _Aaaaahhh!!!_ 🙂 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-great-sdmb-snowball-fight/144630.md?page=3) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-great-sdmb-snowball-fight/144630.md?page=5)
