I agree with Bob on this one.  However, as much as we may have fun
discussing and arguing these points, the fact of the matter is that we can
avoid these problems with two different methods (of which both can be
implemented).

1.) House rules.  Must draw before play (or draw immediately if a higher
Draw N card comes into play).  Or not.  With each situation, there are cases
to be made for and against it.  There is additional strategy in NOT drawing
first with the addition of Creepers, but there are always arguments to be
made in either direction. (Just look at this list for plenty of examples). 

2.) Customize your own deck.  Just because you have the card does not mean
that it HAS to be in your deck.  I just got both Jewish and Christian Fluxx
booster packs, and neither one is yet in my deck.  Mostly because my 3.1
deck is at a friends house, but still, they aren't in it yet. :)

Under those conditions, I would say yes, they would select another random
card from your hand.

Ow... my head is starting to hurt... If I have "final
play random" in play and play three currently in
effect.  I play two cards and then another player
randomly chooses "play four".  As I have only played
three, this player now draw ANOTHER random card from
my hand for me to play?? Correct?

Anything worth taking seriously is worth making fun of.
