I am laughing at myself, now looking at some of the answers. I put down the first thing that popped into my head, which is how you are supposed to play this game, but how my brain is wired seems to be strange.

S critter in the ocean, and the first thing I thought of is Sponge? (not shark?)  
C article of clothing and I come up with corset (not coat?)

Not really. 🙂 You’re supposed to put down what you think will be the first thing to pop into most _other_ people’s heads. Much of the time I discount the first answer I think of and consider what I believe the most popular answer will be, and go with that. Of course, I’m often wrong anyway, but it usually works better than just going with my first thought for every answer.
