Line 13:
* [[The Eeyore]]: Karapet, the Free Armenian, who is convinced that all his bad luck is due to a [[Curse]] placed on the Djoulikyans in the fourteenth century by the [[Wicked Witch|black witch]] of Ararat.
* [[Hair-Trigger Temper]]: The Hog once again, who has precious little patience for partners who make questionable moves. The only way of mollifying him is to somehow overcome the blunder (frequently by inducing worse blunders from the opposition).
* [[Hoist
* [[Insufferable Genius]]: The Hideous Hog, who is the best player in the club, and never tires of letting everyone know it.
* [[No Sense of Humor]]: The Secretary Bird.
* [[Obstructive Bureaucrat]]: The Emeritus Professor of Bio-Sophistry, more commonly known as the Secretary Bird. A stickler for the Laws of the game, sometimes verging on [[Lawful Stupid]].
* [[Rules Lawyer]]: Walter the Walrus, of sorts. He's very attentive to the "truisms" of the quality of hands and relies heavily on various maxims of play, regardless of whether indications from bidding and play suggest a different course of action. He'll heavily complain when "inferior quality" hands produce outsized results. More strictly the Secretary Bird, who will enforce the rule book regarding infractions... more than once [[Hoist
* [["Stop Having Fun!" Guys]]: The Secretary Bird, frequently the Hog's nemesis.
* [[Straw Feminist]]: Molly the Mule, who insists on a man's being to blame for everything.
* [[Too Clever
* [[Yes-Man]]: Timothy the Toucan; he knows he lacks talent, so he tends to suck up to partners to ingratiate himself.
