well the best I can figure is that you go around in a circle saying the ministers cat is … with a word starting with the same as the last, ie black then boring then boatable until someone cant come up with a word then they are out and you move on to the next letter. what the hell do you do for X though? BTW I only know this because they do this in the musical Scrooge. ---
