British Say, what would you all think of a missing link word association game? Where you post, not the first word you think of, but the word that THAT word triggers? ---

Ah! And to make it more interesting, the next poster would have to guess the link word, before offering his/her own word? ---

jets **ETF** : I’d play the “Missing Link” game you’re proposing. Of course, there should be a rule that the progression is one that’s accessible to the general public. For example, “colour-_faith_”, would be acceptable, with “blind” serving as the bridge word. However, someone might think of The Color Purple and then his family’s old car, affectionately dubbed “The Purple Blaster”. “Colour-_Blaster_” would probably stump everybody else, though. ---
