Klinsmann! Get out of that gutter right now, or Nicky will sneeze!

And put PSD down. He doesn't deserve to be dragged in by a cat. He's not even drunk yet. ;-)

*relenting* Ok, Sarah, Klinsmann may come in, but just once and only if he takes a bath first.

47. Literary discussions are strongly discouraged.

*voice from the back of the room* "But what if it's the wrong sort of literature?"

Point well taken and rule amended accordingly.

48b. Gutter eligibility will be determined by ability to recite "I am a Little Leery Hen" backwards while standing on one leg and riding a unicycle. [Note: all 12 stanzas are required.]

For a free demonstration, please see slightcap as she has perfected it.

Thanks Nicky, we wouldn't want anyone to get confused would we?

I don't even know the first verse of "I am a little leery hen" I suppose that means I can't play in the gutter. ::sniff, sob::

The other 11 will be posted eventually in Gutter Eligibility.

Rule: Any song can be approved by the musical director if it is deemed gutterlike, whether or not it has to do with math and/or counting

Addendum to above rule: Those songs deemed gutterlike will most likely involve inebriation, drunkeness and the act of getting that way.
