OK. We have the [Music Alphabet Game (by Aslan of Narnia)](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=198199) running in Café Society, the [The Friday Afternoon Word Play Game (by Lamar Mundane)](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=161516), [The Game of Nomic (by zev\_steinhardt)](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=203529) in MPSIMS as well as countless other name & crossword games I’m too lazy to link. Here’s one I’ve yet to come across on the boards (but definitely may have missed): The A to Z and Thread Title =\> Famous Initials / Name Game Rules: Simple. Provide a name from the initials provided. The name can be any famous figure _(from sports, historical/political or arts/literature)_. The initials result from lining up the alphabet above any sentence (in this case, taken from another thread title). BTW: Using the thread title: _’AAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGHHHHHHH Hair dye related’_ would’ve been monotonous ```auto **A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z** **F U C K I N G S H I T T Y A M E R I C A N B E E R S** ``` There you have it, it’s not much harder than it looks. (I pluralized the title cuz I couldn’t find one with exactly 26 letters). If we can get through the first sequence with out cheating/googling and if this thread doesn’t burn up like a Brazilian satellite, perhaps we’ll ratchet it up a bit and put 2 sentences under the alphabet and go around again with proper (1st/Middle/Last) names. Either that or will restrict it to a more specific category/genre of names. So, #1 of 26 = **AF** – Anne Frank Next up: **BU** : ---
