Watching TV this afternoon, I was amused by what I saw on the guide. The last word of the title of a movie that was currently on, was the first wowrd of the title of the movie to air immediately after. I thought “tack on a ST:TOS episode, and you get **While You Were Sleeping With The Enemy Within** ” Using only titles of movies, TV shows, and their epsiodes, make a string of three into a reasonable sentance or sentance fragment ---

Actually, that doesn’t follow the pattern. You took three unrelated titled and smushed them together. In my example, the last word of one is the first word of the next While You Were **Sleeping Sleeping **With** The Enemy The Enemy** Within That’s the kind of connection I’m looking for. ---

Perhaps mixing formats will be easier than mixing colours… **Aaron Loves Angela** ’s Ashes and Diamonds **Queer Boys and Girls on the Bullet Train** Ride a Crooked Trail Heh, I’m actually quite proud of that last one. I like the way the themes of railways and homosexuality arc across the entire sentence. > [@Little Nemo](#): > > Porky’s Spring Planting Melvin and Howard Hughes: The Man and The Madness of King George of the Jungle Fever Pitch Black Friday Night Lights of Old Santa Fe Passage of the Heart and Souls at Sea of Love Actually I’d like to see you colour-code that one! And while you’re at it, hows about a parse tree? 😉 ---

If you extend the rules to allow songs and music and don’t limit it to three, you can get some circular things like: Blue Moon Over Miami Rhapsody In Blue (yeah, Miami Rhapsody is a movie but…) ---
