Maybe it has one, but I thought the title might be catchy enough to draw a few Game Dopers. Here’s the idea: 1. think of some category or grouping of stuff 2. don’t name the category but give at least three examples of it 3. announce it after somebody guesses it exactly the way you thought of it Do as many groupings as you like per post, but label them so folks can refer to the group easily. Example: 1. Ziplok 2. Hefty 3. Glad Category: Brands for storage bags (I would allow close approximations like Things to Store Food In) Try to be as obscure in your categories as possible. See who can go longest without being correctly guessed. This set is For Real: Z1-1 Square Z1-2 Granny Z1-3 Reef Wanna play? ---

[QUOTE=August West] Is “Ales” an official guess? I don’t know if we are supposed to give hints! [/QUOTE] I’ll leave that to the individual, but I think it would add to the Prime Objective (See who can go longest without being correctly guessed) not to give hints. Leave it to folks to Google if needed. ---
