Shinups
A new form of lower leg exercise created by Ralph Drabble on accident. You need to have a table very close at hand to do this. While walking up to the table, you slightly bang your shin bone against it emitting a loud 'YEOOW!', then hopping back and massaging your shin and ankle. This is repeated several times to complete the set. Not only does it toughen the shin bones, it also makes the ankles more flexible.
Ralph: (he's walking into the room) Hey! Do you want to help me with my Shinups? I haven't done them in a while. My shins are getting so weak and I usually have tough shins, you know?!
Bryant: Sure! I know how. Just walk into the table and give your shin a gentle bang, right?
Ralph: Yeah, and then you MASSAGE (like he's drawing it out) your shin and ankle really good. And then you just do it again. It's easy!
June: (bangs her shin into the table) YEOOWW!! Like that?!
Ralph: Yeah, you've got it now. It might sting your ankles but it works wonders for weak shins!
Bryant: Sweet! (stubs toe on the table) YEOOWW!!
Ralph: (runs over and massages Bryant's shin for him) That's it. We should put these on video. Anyone could do it!
June: Neat, forget push ups! You want tough lower legs? Try Shinups! (slaps Bryant on the shin and gives Ralph a high five)

Ed Elk
An elk that looks very much like Ed Crankshaft. It often has his head and sports the colors of Centerville High School, black and gold. Its fur is very wooly and yellow toward the back and black on the front. Ed Elks do not have antlers except in the does. They often can be seen skipping around the football field bleating happily.
Ed Elk: Centerville High School won the football game! Rock on, Elks!!
Opal Elk: (shaking her antlers and bleating) Black and gold! Elks on the hunt. We sent you back you dirty bunch of runts!!
Ed Elk: (starts skipping around the field) Watch this. How's this for skipping? Do you think I make a good Elk?
Opal Elk: You certainly are beautiful. Elks are so pretty. Especially Centerville Elks.
Ed Elk: Class of 1943! I graduated from here, you know? Its a great school.
Nelson Elk: You two are so crazy! You are two of the craziest deer I know.
Opal Elk: (bends down to the Nelson Elk and starts rubbing lotion into his fur) Here you go, sweetie. This is how an Ed Elk shows love.

Halftrack Slip
A crazy funky dance created by Amos Halftrack. Was first done on April 10, 2011. In order to prepare for this dance, punch or some other liquid must be spilled on the ground so as to make the other person slip in it. Thus creating the image of dancing although it is not. It often ends with the person slamming down onto their bottom with a loud WHOMP sound.
Papa Amos: Hey, wanna dance? There's 'Why Don't We Just Dance' is playing.
Marty: Well, of course. We're gonna have to do the Halftrack Slip here. I'll go get that punch bowl and dump it on the ground. (she takes the punch bowl and pours it on the floor)
Papa Amos: Well, here goes nothing. (He slips and crashes into Sergeant Snorkel who starts laughing at him)
Orville: What is this? This dance looks fun!
Papa Amos: Its the Halftrack Slip. Its the latest craze here at Camp Swampy. Why don't you try it? (he hands Sgt. Snorkel a cup of punch which Sgt. Snorkel pours on the floor)
Stainy: Sweet heavenly angels! This dance is going to slip us all the way back to heaven!
Marty: You're right! We'll be slipping our way through this old swamp until we called up to the Pearly Gates. (she starts rotfl)
Papa Amos: This is more than the Halftrack Slip. Its also the Camp Swampy Stomp!
Marty: Well, of course. We're gonna have to do the Halftrack Slip here. I'll go get that punch bowl and dump it on the ground. (she takes the punch bowl and pours it on the floor)

Edonyx
A baryonyx-like dinosaur which has Ed Crankshaft's head is almost always seen in a Toledo Mudhens uniform: cleat sneakers, red cap, and all. Often works as a coach or teacher of younger dinosaurs. Kid dinosaurs look up to the Edonyx almost as if he were their grandad. When you see him don't run away because a former dinoball player is coming your way!
Edonyx: Hello, class. I'll be your dinosaur school teacher this year. I'm the Edonyx, and I eat Cream of Crankshaft.
Nelsonasaurus: Well, I'm the Nelsonasaurus, and this here is my grandma, the Opalsaurus Rex. What are we going to learn today, Mr. Edonyx?
Edonyx: I'm going to teach you how to build a bonfire. My friend, Mr. Keesterman, was kind enough to lend us some of his mailbox posts. Now, all we do is pack ferns and dry brush all around the wood or anything else that will burn. You make it high enough so that the flames will reach high into the air. Its easy to build a bonfire! I bet all the other dinosaur grandparents will like it. I brought some marshmellows for us to eat later.
Nelsonasaurus: Sweet! Would you play dinoball with us later?
Edonyx: Sure, I used to play dinoball for the Toledo Troodons. Sweet! Wounding teeth, heavy claws - a ball could never pass our jaws.
Nelsonasaurus: Good one! I'm really glad this is dinosaur school. I love it!
Edonyx: I knew you would. Hey, lets go get some warm up stretches going. This bonfire must have tuckered you out. If you're gonna play dinoball you're going to need limber claws.
O-Rex: Ok, sweeties. I'll see you on the field. I'll bring that cocoa butter and honey lotion you both like. You don't want dry scales!
Edonyx: Nice! This is going to be sweet! The heavy claw and the wounding tooth - we're Toledo Troodons and that's the truth!!!
Nelsonasaurus: Well, I'm the Nelsonasaurus, and this here is my grandma, the Opalsaurus Rex. What are we going to learn today, Mr. Edonyx?

Ralphorynchus
A pterodactyl-like dinosaur that looks much like Ralph Drabble. Often flies around the house with sweatpants on its legs and tennis shoes on its feet. While capable of flight, the Ralphorynchus can also walk. It is often accompanied by its wife dinosaur, the Juneorynchus, who chases it if it makes fun of her exercise. As in the July 6, 2010 'Drabble'.
The Ralphorynchus: Hey honeybunch, great workout! You might wanna try a few sit ups too.
The Juneorynchus: (Screeches) You crazy dino-bird!! We don't have much abs, how can we do sit ups? We get enough on them just flying around.
The Ralphorynchus: You are so crazy! Maybe I should do all this while you eat! The human Drabbles did it the other way around. The human Ralph Drabble while the human June was working out.
The Juneorynchus: (lets out a high pitched screech) This is for your own good. Give me 20 laps around this house! And I don't mean flying! You better start jogging, boy!
The Ralphorynchus: I should thank her. Now she's got me jog-flying!
The Juneorynchus: (Screeches) You crazy dino-bird!! We don't have much abs, how can we do sit ups? We get enough on them just flying around.

Opalsaurus
A dinosaur that looks very similar to a T Rex but also has Opal Crankshaft's head. Its also known as the Opalsaurs Rex, or simply the O Rex. They often wear sneakers and always have glasses. Unlike T Rexes, the O Rex is cute and cuddly. She loves hugging on her grandchildren.
Nelson: Hey Roscoe, let's read my dinosaur book. I bet you're going to love it. There are some cute dinosaurs in here.
Roscoe: (barking at Nelson) Woof. This is going to be fun! I bet we'll see an Opalsaurus.
Nelson: Ok. (He begins to read)
Opal: (Warm California Sun playing on her headphones) Here comes the Opalsaurus! Look out now! She's coming to get you! (singing) She's out here having fun in that warm Jurassic sun! ROAR!
Nelson: (screaming, making Roscoe jump) Why did you do that? You scared me!
Opal: Sorry, honey. I was only doing my aerobics, pretending to be a dinosaur. You know, the O Rex wouldn't hurt you! I'm your grandma for crying out loud.
Nelson: (laughing) Weird. I never knew you you would make a good dinosaur.
Opal: There's tons of grandma dinosaurs. The Opalsaurus is just one of them. And they love their grandkids!! You know what time it is now? How about if old O Rex gives you a rub down. You know, a massage? How would that be?
Nelson: Great! You sure make a great dinosaur! If you're the O Rex, I'm the Nelsonasaurus.
Opal: Well, ok, let's get to work! (starts singing again) We'll be out here having fun, in this warm Sparks, Nevada sun! (saying it twice).
Roscoe: (barking at Nelson) Woof. This is going to be fun! I bet we'll see an Opalsaurus.

Shinvision
The idea of seeing the world through a dog's eyes. Often from the perspective of a person standing close with the dog near their feet so that only the person's tibia (shin) is seen. This is often seen in Ralph Drabble who has some of the toughest shins in the country.
Ralph: (eating a bag of pretzels) Hey Wally, you want one? (Kneels down so that Wally slams against Ralph's shins when running in)
Wally: Sure, I love seeing you humans' world this way. It's Shinvision. (Runs away tripping on the rug crashing hard into Opal Crankshaft's legs)
Opal: (screaming) Ow! Tender tibia, why do you do that? Wally, that hurt! My shins aren't as hard as Ralph's.
Wally: (barking and talking at same time) Sorry, Miss Opal, I was just trying to get the pretzel from Ralph. I didn't know I was going to bang you.
Opal: (reaches down and starts to massage Wally) Its okay, I understand! We older people, we don't understand shinvision. Its mostly you younger guys.
Ralph: (taking Opal's weights and starts exercising with them) Well, that was a real shin shock!
Opal: Sweet! This is wild. Seeing the world from your shins. Awesome baby!! (gives Ralph a high five and then high paws Wally)
