The original word given for this interesting little time sink was PENGUIN. The idea being that you take the last word (or phrase) as given by the previous poster and add to it the first word (or phrase) that comes into your head that *somehow* relates to the previous word in some way, shape, or form. This is usually taken quite loosely.

[i.e. PENGUIN : FISH]

Here are a few rules to abide by:
1. If two or more people post responses to a previous word, the valid one is the earliest post. For example:

+-------------------------------+
| 2004-06-05 22:13:08 Spider
| gateway : wolverine
+-------------------------------+
| 2004-06-05 22:15:07 RelayeR
| Gateway : stars
+-------------------------------+

You'll notice that Spider posted a response 2 minutes earlier than RelayeR. Therefore, the next person should post a response to "wolverine" not "stars."
2. If someone posts a phrase as a response, the next person must respond to that entire phrase, not just a part of it.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

The last valid post was:

Klaxons : Klingons

Klingons : crappy stickers

crappy stickers : 2nd grade

Why'd we make mk. IX? With the new paging, we don't need new threads. But hey, it's fine with me 8-).

2nd grade : finger paint

I actually find paging to be a pain in the pahooty. Stop questioning my actions. You're making me feel self-conscious. My self-esteem is hurt. You're a mean little boy, red cactus. Yes. Very mean. : (

finger paint : finger food

finger food: chopsticks

chopsticks: flying food

flying food : flying pigs

flying pigs : cannons

The connection is obvious.

Yeah, you should be self-concious, Aeternalis. Miss I'm-So-Fat-I-Don't-Know-What-To-Do-Because-I'm-So-Fat. Miss Fatty McFat-Pants. Fatty fatty fatty fatty fat pants. Why don't you go eat something, fatty. Fat fat.

cannons : blowing up red cactus' head

o_O

blowing up red cactus' head : He deserves it.

He deserves it. : nailing red_cactus to a board

nailing red_cactus to a board : the thief on the left.

the thief on the left. : Theif (the video game)

Theif (the video game) : My EYE!

Garrett is Serco.

My EYE!: MAH AS IT STANDS!!!!!!

( okay, it was "My eyes! " but close enough ;)

MAH AS IT STANDS!!!!!! ; turn off caps lock

turn off caps lock : pry capslock off the keyboard

pry capslock off the keyboard : screwdriver

Yeah, I knew you couldn't take it. Fatty fatty fat fat fatty fat.
*dances to G Love and the Special Sauce*

screwdriver: Forcefeeding

( the drink, not the tool )
