Rule writers, card carrying or not, have to go on to the testing stage (no Vernes were hurt in the making of this game) and enter the state of “why not”, which often morphs into the limbo state of “how” and “is this fun, yet” (where the writer’s block of the cryptically challenged doesn’t cut it any more but, finally crossing another state line, we see, drawings do.)

Just say “NO!”, Verne. You’re allowed. (From the person in charge of “NO”. Why am I in charge of NO? Cuz I called it first, that’s how come)

Reminds me of a quote from Stewie Griffin …
“This isn’t the first time my small stature has hindered my plans.”
