Text(UG+errata):2/5. ; As ~this~ comes into play, choose a word. ; At the beginning of your upkeep, sacrifice ~this~ unless you sing at least six words of a song, one of which must be the chosen word. You can't repeat a song. [D'Angelo 2000/03/09 - unofficial errata]
If you're tone deaf (like I am), you should suffer a serious penalty (agreed among your opponents) for playing with Clam Session. Unless you sing heavy metal songs, where it doesn't matter too much anyway. [Barclay 1998/08/13]
If the six words you sing contain the chosen word more than once, you sacrifice the Session. "one" means "exactly one". [Barclay 1998/08/13]
"Happy Birthday to Dan" is considered the same song as "Happy Birthday to Dave". [Barclay 1998/08/13]
You must say your chosen word for everyone. [bethmo 1998/08/17]
The six words must be consecutive words from the song. [QAS 1998/09/09]
The six words don't have to be different. [QAS 1998/09/09] See the flavor text.
If you have more than one Clam Session in play, you can use the same song for each of them. [QAS 1998/09/09] But you're a wimp if you do.

Otherwise, sacrifice it. [D'Angelo 2000/03/09 - unofficial errata]
The ability can be used while it is tapped. [D'Angelo 1998/09/07]
"Catch" means the same thing that it does in Baseball and Cricket - you have to catch it before it hits the ground/table/etc. [Barclay 1998/08/13]
Deflections off opponents or anything other than your one hand is not legal. [QAS 1998/09/09]
You must stay seated while throwing and catching. [QAS 1998/09/09]
From the time that the Pigeon is thrown to the time its ability resolves, it is considered to be in the "In the Air" zone, so you can't use its ability again until it resolves. This means that if you fail to catch it, it will be sacrificed before you can use its ability again. [Barclay 1998/08/13]
Two feet is 61 cm. [TomHa 1998/09/15]
