So, even though I am not good at this game myself, I really enjoyed reading other posters answers on an old AOL board I used to frequent, so I thought I’d see what you guys think. If you think it might be fun, maybe you can help flesh out how it should work.

The basics are very simple. A word is provided and the posters form a sentence using each of the letters from the word. Some of the answers were hilarious, IIRC.

I can’t quite remember how often we switched to a new word. It might have been weekly. It sort of worked like the MMP. First one to post on the designated day got to choose the word for that period.

So anyway, I just thought I’d see if there was any interest.

Could you explain a little more/give an example? I’m going to guess it’s like this - somebody chooses the starting word “forklift” and people make sentences like:

“For Oliver’s relatives, knitting lingerie is frankly terrifying.”

Is that it?

If you are hoping to start a thread game here, maybe each person could create a new sentence from the previous person’s user name, or something like that.
