Okay, after lighting many candles at the alter of "Isn'tAnyoneElseGoingToJumpInHere?", I'm going to get us started with what might be the most bizarre game format in MRFH history. Mostly because we're... oh yes... making it up as we go along!
Consider this Calvinball with a Mutant half twist.
So, I'm thinking of my favorite Methos quote from Highlander: The Series. Whoever guesses it will be awarded points. Whoever guesses any Methos quote (and I know them all) will be awarded points. Anyone who just plain amuses me will get points for just plain amusing me. Random points may also be distributed along the way just because I say so. Please note, that I did not say how many points. Because that is going to depend on my mood, my caffeine level, and how many mistakes I make playing "Bonny Portmore" on the guitar.
For instance:
OogieBoogieMan, I'm giving you 10 points to start off with just because I don't like raisins either.
Big T - you get 15 points for posting on the forum.
blinkfan - Have 20 points for spelling 'intrigued' correctly!
Aargmematey - You can have 5 points for the use of one exclamation point after a prolonged "Gaaaaah!" Excellent control. Really excellent.
Other staff members may also award random points just because they say so.
At the end of this first round, or rather, pre-first round, our score is as follows:
blinkfan - 20
Big T - 15
TheOogieBoogieMan - 10
Arrgmematey - 5
Gee, don't the rest of you wish you'd posted?

o0o0o0o0o0o, I like, I like.
I'm a little reluctant to ask, but...is there any way we can lose points?
(don'ttakeanyofmypointsdon'ttakeanyofmypointsdon'ttakeanyofmypoints...)

Oogie, I'm going to take away 5 points for asking that question, BUT I'll give you 10 for a creative use of OoOoOo's.
So:
blinkfan - 20
Big T - 15
TheOogieBoogieMan - 15
Arrgmematey - 5

Bearing in mind that my knowledge of Highlander is approximately nil, was it "Oh God, please don't let them cut off my head"?
Okay, first addendum to the rules: the first person to post the complete, 100% accurate lyrics to the Calvinball theme song (all the ones we know, anyway) gets 5 points. 3 additional bonus points if you also post the lyrics to the Very Sorry Song.

Drew, since everyone ought to know that Immortals fight one on one, I find your use of the word, "them" to be a silly thing. Unless, of course, you're referring to the rogue group of Watchers led by Horton, in which case, you'd be all right. (Even the pack of cannibals in The Source might have saved you.) But since you don't know beans about Highlander, by your own admission, I must punish you. Negative 10 points for use of the word "them"!
Bummer, huh?
blinkfan - 20
Big T - 15
TheOogieBoogieMan - 15
Arrgmematey - 5
TheLuckyOne- (-10)

"What do you expect? Einstein, Freud, Buddha? Sorry, Joe, I'm just a guy."
I owe it all to insomnia and the SciFI channel.
And, yes, I do wish I had posted.

And another victim contestant joins the fray!
Excellent quote, StarOpal. Wasn't the right one, but it's definitely in my top ten. How about... 25 points for the quote and 20 points for wishing you had posted, less 5 points for not actually posting, plus 8 points because I have insomnia too.
So that gives you....48 points!
StarOpal - 48 points
blinkfan - 20
Big T - 15
TheOogieBoogieMan - 15
Arrgmematey - 5
TheLuckyOne- (-10)

Argh! Can't we have one contest where StarOpal doesn't win? And all I know about Highlander is that it won the Oscar for best movie ever made. |

You know, Oogie. I like you. You make a valid point.
Okay, hmm. I'll give you 34 points just to stop you from whining. BUT if no one else comes up with Methos quotes, then I might just shower StarOpal with dozens of points. You know, all the points I've been saving for the Methos Fan Club members? So...
TheOogieBoogieMan - 49 points
StarOpal - 48 points
blinkfan - 20
Big T - 15
Arrgmematey - 5
TheLuckyOne- (-10)
