Rules Game...

[WECoyote]

Rule 3. Although I sir WECoyote am so smart, I sir WeCoyote am very mean and ill tempered, a very bad trait... therefore Flash Bazbo may not post any new rules.

------------------
Childhood is short and maturity is forever. ~Calvin

[Flash Bazbo]

BUZZ!

WECoyote didn't add a new rule for everyone to follow (he merely forbade me from submitting.)

Rule 1: No words beginning with vowels shall be permitted.

[MacadamiamaN]

Law #2: Words terminating with vowels, (not "Y"), may not subsist.

[WECoyote]

I figured you could just post a rule and therfore invalidate all other rules...
I am not that mean

------------------
Childhood is short and maturity is forever. ~Calvin

[Hitchhiker]

#3: Rules must mention 2 celebrities' names, for Harrison Ford's much cuter than Kevin Spacey, though Kevin has great talent.

[Flash Bazbo]

Posit 4: Rules must contain sports terminology (sometimes spoken by John Madden, less frequently by Bob Costas); befitting terms could read "touchdown," "field goal," "safety..."

[wordcross]

I object to Mac's buzz.
1) Flash's double negative does not necessarily make it a positive.
2) If i was disobeying his rule by not mentioning Hitchhiker, then he was countering another rule from before saying that i could not use the same Female GLer in my rule unless we'd exhausted all others.
3) Flash cannot put two rules into one, and i assumed that the double negative rule was the one that he wanted followed.

So buzz everyone who has posted a rule thus far because the other line wasn't finished

[Dread Pirate Westley]

I agree with wordcross on all points, save one.

You can't buzz people for pre-emptively starting a new rule chain.

------------------
The sooner you accept one simple truth, the sooner we can all get along with our lives.

I'm right.

[MacadamiamaN]

I knew it was a stretch -- as there were two rules in one, and he obviously intended the hitchhiker rule to not be followed.

[wordcross]

Rule #1: All rules must contain a word that begins with 'z,' like "Zap!"

[WECoyote]

rule number two all rules must only contain letters from the alphabet in lower case with no punctuation or other symbols zoinks

------------------
Childhood is short and maturity is forever. ~Calvin

[Courk]

rule three zounds all rules must mention the gler who posted the previous rule ie i must mention wecoyote

[wordcross]

rule four in addition to mentioning the previous gler all rules shall forthwith praise courk who is the supreme manatee goddess zot

[MacadamiamaN]

rule five in addition to mentioning the previous gler such as wordcross and courks supreme manatee goddess attributes all rules must contain more words than the previous rule zooper

[referee]

rule ten while abiding with all the previous rules that is mentioning the previous poster in my case macadamiaman i hope i am not forced to respect capitalization otherwise someone must be buzzed and praise courk the supreme manatee goddess and others the rule number can contain no roman numerals that is if the rule number was to be posted in capitals so i v x l c d and m are the forbidden letters zoom

[WECoyote]

rule fourteen while abiding with all the previous rules that is referees rule not allowing the use of roman letters in the rule number and macadamiamams rule which forces me to type this mess and wordcrosss rule praising courk who is obivously the supreme manatee goddess and courks rule referencing the name of the prevous gler and my own rule of containing only lower case letters and wordcrosss rule which flows as gentle as a zephyr all rules must pay homage to all previous posters of rules as they are all so intelligent and witty and I am terribly excited to be amongst this group not once but twice

------------------
Childhood is short and maturity is forever. ~Calvin

[wordcross]

I'm not even going to try. Without punctuation this is just hell.

[WECoyote]

I agree this has gotten awfully complex, but I would love to see someone try.

------------------
Childhood is short and maturity is forever. ~Calvin

[One Skunk Todd]

rule twenty like a zebra is striped all rules must now have every other word bolded even unto the lengthy discourse honoring the most esteemed prestigious nice smelling and superlative previous rule setters these being referee who bade us not to use roman letters in the rule number macadamiamam who forced verbosity on us wordcross who insisted that courk who is undoubtedly an archangel in the manatee pantheon be praised courk who charged us to reference the name of the previous gler wecoyotes suggestion that rules contain only lower case letters wordcrosss command not to exclude zeds and wecoyotes order that all previous rule makers be acknowledged

[MacadamiamaN]

Buzz! Unless I am mistaken, OST's rule, though making a good effort, is only 107 words compared to WECoyote's 109-word rule.

[Sivat]

this is true mac. I confirm the buzz

Rule 1) All rules must have information not affecting that particular rule above that rule, like i have in this post.

[One Skunk Todd]

poop

[One Skunk Todd]

That'll teach me to use multisyllabic wor... ...poop.

[WECoyote]

I can't believe One Skunk Todd broke the chain.
It was going sooo well.


------------------
Childhood is short and maturity is forever. ~Calvin

[WECoyote]

Rule 2: No rule shall contain the next to last letter in the alphabet.

------------------
Childhood is short and maturity is forever. ~Calvin

[Sivat]

Buzz: WECoyote didn't have anything before the rule in his post.

RULE #1: ALL RULES MUST HAVE ONE AND ONLY ONE LOWERCASE LETTEr.

[This message has been edited by Sivat (edited 02-07-2003 11:41 PM).]

[MacadamiamaN]

RULE #2: ALL RULES MUST HAVE ONE MATHEMATiCAL EQUATION, SUCH AS 1=1.

[Courk]

RULE @3: ALL RuLES MUST REPLACE THE POUND SYMBOL WITH THE FUNKY A THING. DOES 2+3=5?

[WECoyote]

RULE @4: NO RULE SHALL BE CREATED WITH THE WORD RULE, NOT POSIT, NOT LAW... THEREFORE NO RULE CAN BE CREATED WHICH AFFECTS THE WORD RULE AND
e^(PI * i) + 1 = 0.

------------------
Childhood is short and maturity is forever. ~Calvin

[WECoyote]

AHH FRICK, I meant without not with.

------------------
Childhood is short and maturity is forever. ~Calvin

[MacadamiamaN]

BUZZ:

WECoyote's last rule contains two lowercase letters, "e" and "i" shown in his mathematical equation: " e^(PI * i) + 1 = 0. "

[MacadamiamaN]

Rule #1: All rules henceforth must contain mention of a height of a famous building, such as the Empire State Building, measuring 1,250 ft.

[The Cruciverbalist]

Rule 2: In order to prevent excessive Google-ing, all building heights must be expressed in vague terms; for instance, the Eiffel Tower is some amount of meters tall.

------------------
If the quantum theory is to be believed, I'm technically occupying every point in the universe right now.
Tag! Everyone's it!

[Courk]

Rule 3: All rules must contain a reference to what might be in the future. For example, I believe that, in the future, the 5 or so mile high Statue of Liberty will be destroyed by apes.

[The Cruciverbalist]

Hope you don't think me
A rule hogger, but no one
Has posted for days.

Of all of the rules
Submitted up to this point,
This is number four.

In the near future,
All posters shall be compelled
To write in haiku.

Oh, and by the by,
Sears Tower in Chicago
Is one TALL building.

------------------
If the quantum theory is to be believed, I'm technically occupying every point in the universe right now.

[The Cruciverbalist]

And just one more thing -
Your sig messages need not
Follow that last rule.

[Dread Pirate Westley]

I believe that would qualify as two separate rules. If so, you are to buzzed for not mentioning a tall building (and vaguely its height), nor predicting the future.

[The Cruciverbalist]

I meant the second
As a clarification.
But I guess you're right.

[Highest Prime]

What, two weeks and no new sets of rules?

Rule 1: Each rule must contain the "Name" of at least one popular music song, properly capitalized and placed in quotes.

(Goo Goo Dolls, 1995, in case you were wondering.)

[planet_buzz]

Rule 2: "One" more rule that you need to follow is to end you rule abruptly so that it appears that
