    Smurfs. Smurves makes sense, put it's not how I was raised, therefore it's null and void.

    I prefer the Smurfs Polish counterpart, the Smurds.

    Smurfs.

    Also, if you're going by the "rves" sort of thing, you shouldn't. If "Smurf" was pluralised the same way as other English words, the plural of "Smurf" would be "Smurf", much like the plural for "turf" is "turf" and the plural for "surf" is "surf". I can't think of any English word ending with "urf" that has a plural ending in "urves".

    Pwned.

    I went with smurfs.
    Leave some shards under the belly
    Lay some grease inside my hand
    It's a sentimental jury
    And the makings of a good plan

    I think we've established that it is Smurfs.

    *grr* Sure, use every '-urf' word in the English language, so that nobody can prove you wrong...
