The Rules
Here's something I found in The Making of the Trek Conventions, by Joan Winston.
I don't know what this has to do with the price of beans, but I thought it was
cute. Of course, every line begins with (all together, everybody): "DAMNIT
JIM..."
"I'm a doctor, not a coal miner."
"I'm a doctor, not an escalator."
"I'm a doctor, not a bricklayer."
"I'm a doctor, not an engineer."
"I'm a doctor, not a mechanic."
"I'm a doctor, not a Moon Shuttle Conductor."
"I'm a doctor, not a psychiatrist."
Any other ideas?
THE UNOFFICIAL USS FARPOINT RULES FOR NERF VOLLEYBALL
- One hand only at a time, please.
- Ricochets are playable. (This includes cars, barbecues, picnic tables, the ground and other people's faces. Don't worry, it's a Nerf!)
- Shoving people into the bushes to be devoured by Slime Devils or Killer Tribbles is most definately frowned upon.
- A bonus point is awarded for anybody who manages to take out an item of food in the general region. 5 pts. for cakes.
- Cheap shots at the Captain must involve a comment about blushing or garage sales.
- Cheap shots aimed at Don D. must refer to food.
- Cheap shots aimed at Jerry B. can be about anything.
- All other cheap shots are allowed. (Of course.)
- There is no such thing as an innocent bystander in this game.
- No implements of death are allowed. (Knives, Forks, Spoons, Plastic Bowls, Coolers, Bad Puns, etc.)
- Everybody else is welcome to join in. (At their own risk)
You can tell the sunburn got to my head, can't you? (;-)
Before I go any further- I just want to say something before I get myself
into really deep trouble. When I write these things, I will sometimes take
a shot at somebody. (For example, rules 5,6,7 above.) I just want to say
I only intend it in good fun, and I don't mean any offense. I apologize in
advance if I have insulted anybody, and I expect to be properly chastised in
that event. Under no circumstances should anybody else be blamed except me.
This applies to anything I write. If you have problems with it, let me know!!
