New forum game:

You have to post a word with ABSOLUTELY NO CONNECTION to the previous word posted. It's harder than it looks...

If someone can see a connection between the word posted by the previous person and the word before them, then they should post the connection and restart with a new word. Points will be awarded for bizarreness of challenge. Here is a quote from wikipedia (from I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue):

"Word for Word" is a word disassociation game: players may say any word as long as it has no connection whatsoever to the previous word. This is surprisingly difficult to do. [...]

This game produces amazing strings of nonsense. [...] words may be deemed connected based on bizarre and tortuous chains of association. For example, in one episode, a player said "cardigan" and the next "pier". Another then said "Cardigan has a pier" and was corrected: "Cardigan was a peer". One of the next few words was "pullover", and was buzzed because "you can pull over to see Cardigan's pier".


I'll start you off:

Electricity.

There will be no points. That was just a way of saying that the more bizarre the connection, the better :lol:

War Games

OLD SIG
When history witnesses a great change Razgriz reveals itself,
first as a dark demon. As a demon it uses it power to rain death upon the land,
and then it dies. However after a period of slumber Razgriz returns
As the demon sleeps, man turns on man.
Its own blood, and madness soon cover the earth.
From the depths of despair awaken the Razgriz.
Its raven wings ablaze in majestic light.
Amidst the eternal waves of time
From a ripple of change shall the storm rise
Out of the abyss peer the eyes of a demon
Behold the Razgriz, its wings of black sheath
The demon soars through the dark skies
Fear and Death trail its shadow beneath
Until Men united wield a hallowed sabre
In Final Reckoning, the beast is slain.
Razgriz intrerpretation

I propose that you can only correct the post RIGHT above you, otherwise The game would be pointless.
