Yet another word game

[Rafa.the.Magnificent]

There seem to be many word game fans here! I thought we could start another. This one would be to start a sentence using the last word of the previous sentence. For instance:

The football season is off to a great start.

Next poster:

Start the record already.

I'll begin -

Djokovic hopes to get back to the top three.

 

[jaggy]

Three work days then its a holiday

 

[Sentinel]

Holidays now for the tennis pros till the next season in January.

(p.s. We did have a similar thread a few years back. It got deleted. then recreated, then deleted again. Finally we gave up and stopped creating it. But the thread was great fun).

 

[Rafa.the.Magnificent]

January brings Buffalo a lot of snow.

 

[Chadillac]

Snow is something ive only seen twice in my life

 

[ojo rojo]

Life is short, break the rules. Forgive quickly, kiss slowly. Love truly. Laugh uncontrollably and never regret anything that makes you smile

I just bumped it... @Mike Bulgakov was last to have played about two months ago.

 

[Rafa.the.Magnificent]

Thanks, @stringertom, let's shut this down and pick it up there!

MODS, PLEASE DELETE THIS THREAD.

 

[mcpon]

Threads are sometimes played by cats in a ball.

 

[stringertom]

Balls are often mentioned in the SexiSuri tribute thread. Very heavy balls.

 

[Rafa.the.Magnificent]

Ball games are usually tons of fun.

 

[stringertom]

Fun is the sole intent of young orphaned elephants when needlessly torturing and killing rhinos. So says noted pachydermal expert SexiSuri.

 

[Rafa.the.Magnificent]

SexiSuri and Stringertom make me wonder sometimes.

 

[jaggy]

Sometimes life gives you lemons and if you are dyslexic, melons.

 

[stringertom]

Melons are an apt description of SexiSuri's mantatas.

 

[Dedans Penthouse]

'Melons' would be one way to describe them.

 

[Mike Bulgakov]

Them were a good band from Northern Ireland featuring Van Morrison.

 

[stringertom]

Morrison is a surname shared with a lead singer for a band formed in Southern California.

 

[Vcore89]

''California is a nation, not a state.''

 

[jaggy]

California Uber Alles was a song by The Dead Kennedys

 

[Rafa.the.Magnificent]

Kennedy's were of a large, large, and even more large family.

 

[jaggy]

Family of Manson are one down today

 

[stringertom]

Today Show original host Dave Garroway had an interesting sidekick...chimpanzee J. Fred Muggs boosted ratings for the poorly performing morning talk show. Muggs and his girlfriend Phoebe B. Beebe retired from show business to a quiet life. The couple were still alive as of 2012. Muggs would be 65 years old.

Old man Charlie Rose has had a bad week.

 

[Rafa.the.Magnificent]

Week of Thanksgiving is a disaster for anyone wanting to keep a svelte figure.

 

[hollywood9826]

Video killed the radio star is dumb.

 

[Rafa.the.Magnificent]

Dumb commercials are getting on my nerves.

 

[stringertom]

Dumb & Dumber's funniest scene reminds me that, even in the darkest hour, I still have a chance.

 

[ojo rojo]

Instructions should sometimes be ignored

But not always..

 

[jaggy]

get it on, bang a gong

 

[stringertom]

Gong or feather...which distraction of Undy Mury's concentration during a slam match made more of a difference???

 

[Rafa.the.Magnificent]

Differences between Coke and Pepsi are a matter of personal taste.

 

[stringertom]

Taste for garish color combinations in his tennis wardrobe has helped gain SexiSuri rather wide attention from his large fan club. We also appreciate his supreme agility and much deserved feeling of superiority to us mere mortals of this forum.

 

[jaggy]

Forum decorum has dropped since the most recent deaths

 

[Rafa.the.Magnificent]

Death is almost what it feels like when your favorite player loses.

 

[stringertom]

"Loses" has morphed into "looses" during pressers conducted by one prominent ATP player.

 

[Rafa.the.Magnificent]

Player fandom sometimes reaches a frenzy on this board.

 

[jaggy]

Board games can be found in trendy bars frequented by bearded hipsters

 

[stringertom]

Hipster definition at the Urban Dictionary website is the longest run on paragraph I've ever read there. In comparison, their definition of hippie is much more concise and to the point.

 

[Mike Bulgakov]

Point Reyes is beautiful.

 

[Rafa.the.Magnificent]

Beautiful bodies are in the eye of the beholder.

 

[stringertom]

Behold A Pale Horse is a book viewed as a manifesto for anti-government conspiracy theorists and deals with subjects as far ranging as AIDS, extraterrestrials and the JFK assassination.

A.s.s.A.s.s.in origin of word is rather unusual.


assassin (n.)


1530s (in Anglo-Latin from mid-13c.), via French and Italian, from Arabic hashishiyyin"hashish-users," plural of hashishiyy, from the source of hashish (q.v.).

A fanatical Ismaili Muslim sect of the mountains of Lebanon in the time of the Crusades, under leadership of the "Old Man of the Mountains" (translates Arabic shaik-al-jibal, name applied to Hasan ibu-al-Sabbah), they had a reputation for murdering opposing leaders after intoxicating themselves by eating hashish. The plural suffix -in was mistaken in Europe for part of the word (compare Bedouin). Middle English had the word as hassais(mid-14c.), from Old French hassasis, assasis, which is from the Arabic word.

 

[jaggy]

Unusual rumblings on the west coast have locals worried it could be the big one.

 

[Vcore89]

One - Metallica

 

[Poisoned Slice]

Metallica is Bobby Axelrod's favourite band.

 

[Vcore89]

Metallica is Bobby Axelrod's favourite band.

Band of Brothers starred Damian Lewis as Major Richard ''Dick'' Winters.

Axe is also a Megadeth [evidently, he is a Dave Mustaine fan first and foremost] fan!

 

[stringertom]

Fandango is an album released in 1975 by American 3-piece band ZZ Top.

Word is that the original thugs were in India.
Thuggees, a Sanskrit word meaning concealment, were an organized gang of professional assassins – sometimes described as the world's first mafia – who operated from the 13th to the 19th centuries in India. Members of the fanatical religious group, who were infamous for their ritualistic assassinations carried out in the name of the Hindu Goddess Kali, were known as Thugs, a word that passed into common English during the British occupation of India.

"Top Gear" is a show that I enjoyed, though Jeremy Clarkson seems like a real jerk.

 

[stringertom]

Jerky Boys provided comedic relief in the 90's with their collection of prank phone calls made into albums and even a couple of films.

 

[Mike Bulgakov]

Films and television are often the most funny when animated. I met "Beavis and Butt-Head" creator Mike Judge by chance soon before MTV picked-up his show. He was very funny and enjoyed doing voices.
