Subject: RE: Lyr: 7 Thousand Macedonians in Full Battle Array
Learned this as a drinking game in the 1970s driving from NC, PA to a concert in Pittsburgh with my girlfriend. Her older sister's boyfriend was driving, and we were messed up by the time we got to the concert. I used it many times in college at parties. It is played as a round robin, adding one line at a time till you get to ten. Mess up, and you drink.

Enjoy Responsibly as they say....
What I remember, and how I've been passing it along:

One hen
Two ducks
Three squawking geese
Four glimmering oysters
Five porpuline (sic) porpoises
Six pairs of Don Alverso tweezers
Seven thousand Macedonians dressed in full battle array
Eight brass monkeys from the ancient sacred crypts of Egypt
Nine lyrical, spherical, diabolical denizens of the deep
Ten apathetic, sympathetic, diabetic old men on roller skates, who all stall around the corner of the quo, of the quay of the quivy all at the same time.
