The forum mods have booted us from the last thread due to pagination issues, so here we are, with Mark 11! Everyone bug a1k0n to get this fixed. :P

This fascinating idea was brought to us by the high and mighty red cactus of Itani nation, and maintained by Aeternalis (who is way cooler than red, as she doesn't wear penny loafers.).

The original word given for this interesting little time sink was PENGUIN. The idea being that you take the last word (or phrase) as given by the previous poster and add to it the first word (or phrase) that comes into your head that *somehow* relates to the previous word in some way, shape, or form. This is usually taken quite loosely.

[i.e. PENGUIN : FISH]

Here are a few rules to abide by:
1. If two or more people post responses to a previous word, the valid one is the earliest post. For example:

+-------------------------------+
| 2004-06-05 22:13:08 Spider
| gateway : wolverine
+-------------------------------+
| 2004-06-05 22:15:07 RelayeR
| Gateway : stars
+-------------------------------+

You'll notice that Spider posted a response 2 minutes earlier than RelayeR. Therefore, the next person should post a response to "wolverine" not "stars."
2. If someone posts a phrase as a response, the next person must respond to that entire phrase, not just a part of it.
3. No mini-rants as responses, please.
4. If you have a picture to post as a response, keep it under 200x200 pixels. Our Wacaday! diehards would rather that you didn't post pictures at all, however.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

The last valid post was:

Driver's Ed : I wish my friend went to it...

I wish my friend went to it... : my wedding

Not me, since I'm 15...

my wedding : elopement

Not that my wedding is likely to occur anytime soon, but I'd rather elope than have the typical hubbub weddings have. I hate being focused on by everyone.

elopement : developement

development : the Hive

the Hive : urticaria

urticaria : allergies

I hate summer.

allergies : Allegra

Me too.

Allegra : Allegro

Allegro : Italian

Right?

Italian : Food

Yeah. It translates as "happy", but I'm more familier w/ it as a music term, meaning a fast tempo. There's also a game programming library named Allegro that I used for a programming project back in high school.

Food: Cheeseburgers :)

Cheeseburgers : Artery strengthening

Artery strengthening : blood exercises

I am too. But I just remembered that the term comes from Italian.

blood exercises : "enlarge your male member!"

"enlarge your male member!" : F-off spammers

F-off spammers : Utopia

If only they would...

Utopia : impossible and impractical dreams

impossible and impractical dreams : 900 and UCLA

Disgustingly enough, some girl did get into UCLA with a 900 on her SAT's...

900 and UCLA : Wow, I could have gone to UCLA after 7th grade!

since I got a 1000 on the old SAT then.
