**Moose With Hemorroids** hasn’t put out any really good sounding cole slaw in the past 7.33592\* occipital cycles.

Just another goddam sellout…

**Skeezix** , the lack-of-rules clearly states that I must notify you that I’ve collected 43% of this round’s tesseract chips (less fattening than Buffalo chips) and hence have a plurality and best position for advancing to the Moon wicket. The rest of you have to sing the ‘neener-neener-neener’ song.

\*After six PM, 7.99857.

neener-neener-neener  
neener all day long  
neener-neener-neener  
I sing this neener song

:: flings singularity at **Tygr** ::  
There. So much for your plurality. 😃

However, you do score a small metric buttload of points for advancing to the Moon wicket. I’m callin’ eclipse rules on the next inning, so you gotta play blindfolded.

[sub]Now where’d I put that plastic ibex?[/sub]

Whoops, I just touched the opposite pole so everyone needs to trade scores with someone else. I’ll take the aardvark’s score of “Plenty”.

Hmmm. I was just perusing the un-rules and it states that to win a game of **UncleBeerWhatthehellisgoinginhere** (more popularly known as **UncleBeerHell** ) that the winner is determined from the final contestants as the first one to cut their own head off with a chainsaw.

Urp.

Seeing as how we’re at least a full game week from being in the finals I suspect we’ll see some furious play to reach this honor. I fully intend to bring the Golden Chainsaw back to my fair country where it rightfully belongs.

Avast, ye swabs! A poignard in your codpiece!

Is that a poignard in your codpiece, or are you just pleased to see me?

Thanks anyway, but my consititution won’t allow me to drink liquid human until after 12 pm KST\* every third equinox. (Though I’m thinking of introducing a Bill [sub]“Hello, Bill!”[/sub] to amend my constitution.)

**Skeezix** , I’m standing here beside myself – where in the world did you pick up a singularity in this under-inflated market…? I’m just aghast…

Okay, I’ve found the ibex!

I’ve got a good grip on it.

Wait. It might not be the ibex…  
Oh, please tell me it’s not the codpiece…

Alright, people! we are goig to hear what Horseflesh has requested which is:

::Grabs **Tygr** by the wrist and begins to jitterbug to the melodious strains of Sex Dwarf, Fish Heads, and Eyeball In My Martini all being played at once::

_Isn’t it nice, sugar and… Fish Heads, Fish Heads, roly poly… eyeballs, eyeballs everywhere!_

This sure beats running from Balrogs, eh? Say, do you remember that time in Tangiers…? Nah, prolly not. You were blindfolded and drunk that time too.

::Spins **Tygr** round ~14,000 times and shoves towards the Alicorn Pit. Sprinkles floor liberally with pink perforated pinstriped ping pong balls::

Now don’t get nervous. One of them has the magic lodestone lodged in it’s hoof. The other 99 will burst into a horde of burrowing death scarabs when touched. Piece o’ cake!

By the by, that _wasn’t_ an ibex you had a hold of. That was my finger! Ha-ha-ha-ha-haaaaa! ::Pulls finger:: Brraa-a-a-a-a-ppp-pp!

No one has any requests? None of y’all want to have me play anything?

I think we should at least hear the version of “Break Stuff” off of the 1999 Family Values Tour album, and then we will hear “Closer” by Nine Inch Nails.

How can i do a good job if nobody makes a request?

**anya marie** , I dubble-dare you to spin out an extended remix of _Cuban Pete_. [sub]Mostly because I think **Horseflesh** deserves to have to “chic-chikky-boom” the entire penalty. 'Specially for making me jitterbug in these pumps…[/sub]

Oh, isn’t THAT just typical of you liberal types. Everythings always gotta be pink & pinstriped…

Awright, I gots my Whammo© brand Scarab-Swatter™ and 99 peanut-butter-and-jelly-sammich-baited D-Con© Scarab Traps ("Scarabs will do ANYTHING for a peanut-butter-and-jelly-sammich!"™)

Now, which of you ping-pong balls has a hoof…? Oh, you won’t talk? _SWAT!!_

The rest of you ping-ball-'corns take note - the end came quickly for him. I can’t promise the same for the rest of you…

[sub]I simply MUST find that magic lodetone - it’ll complete my collection, which I’ll finally be able to trade in for that lifetime supply of cabbage-flavored licorice whips…![/sub]

Hey, now, you may have guessed the correct weight (actually you were a little under, but considering I just got out of the pool…), but if you take that _particular_ pound of flesh, I’ll not be able to create anymore kids. And since it should be gloriously clear how desperately the world needs replicas of me, we’ve got to keep the equipment intact.

So, if **Skeezix** can wake up enough to give us his best Richard Simmons impression, I’ll sweat a pound out for yer.

**anya** darlin’, howza bouta little “Is you is, or is you ain’t, my baby?” I appear to be in a swinging mood tonight.
