Not always - the trickster often plays the role of the fool as well
Yep. Like when the rabbit has to race the tortoise. Turtles beat rabbits, it's a law.

Take your fingers off it, don't you dare touch it, you know it don't belong to you, to you...

Kathy Astrom:
How much smarm could a marmot snark if a marmot could snark smarm?
While three is a good answer, it does not take into consideration the quality of the snark, and the tenacity of the smarm. There are also directional, language and timing issues (d+lxt= amount of snark smarmed [ASS]) to be answered before the ASS can be precisely determined.

If I only had a brain...
Did you just differentiate with regard to snark?

Adrian Pasdar: bringing hot (and ambiguously gay) to a new level since Top Gun.
My head hurts.
*whimpers*
Other than that, I got nuthin', except I think the pirates ran away with the rum.

Isn't that the way it always goes? But I have the pirate's eggnog...oh...depressing thought...no more eggnog for another year.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I think the pirates ran away with the rum.
The little dog laughed to see such sport.

[insert something funny here]
I think the pirates ran away with the rum.
Which would leave them in no fit state to win a fight against marshmallow-eating cavemen, never mind the Ninjas.
Of course, once the Ninjas had won... ... River could kill them with her brain.
Tada! Back on topic. Sort of.

Betsy HP:

Doesn't everybody? Seriously, it also depends on the type of marmot snarking the smarm. Woodchuck, groundhog, or prairie dog? The differences are subtle, but detectable.

All this time, I thought Hunter was a bitch. Turns out she was just hungry.
And what about jumping the shark?
