The object of this game is simple enough, but I've had to adapt it slightly from the radio version to make it work in a forum-style forum, so-to-speak.
The aim is to follow a word with a totally un-related one -- for example, if i started with handbag, that could be followed by dolphin, pharaoh, gazelle or some such word -- but not by leather, strap, purse, etc.
Now, in the radio version this is played in teams -- i would like to suggest a points system. For each dissassociated word you gain 1 point, but for each word for which someone (before the next move is made) successfully challenges by showing an association, you lose 4.
I shall start, with antelope.

Wed, December 15, 2004 - 1:03 AMVERBAL Kint was played by Kevin Spacey in The Usual Suspects.
Kevin was also the star of Se7en.
7 is the "perfect" number, sometimes referred to as "God's number" (while 6 is the devil's number)
In Christianity, God is believed to be a trinity, consisting of Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
The Trinity is often represented by a Triangle. -

Wed, December 15, 2004 - 9:39 AMI think I must challenge at this juncture! Egg, as in the Isle os Eigg ( pronounced Egg), was I am sure used as a setting for that BBC classic Dr Who. And Who provides the music for Dr Who???? The BBC radiophonic workshop! The connection could not be clearer!
I rest my case!

Thu, December 16, 2004 - 11:19 PMI have a challenge!
Those of us who remember the good old days of 'proper' nappies will have noticed straight away the connection with trigonometry which is of course ( among other things), the study of triangles which is the atarting point of the complex origami like folds required for a well fitting nappy!
