Author Topic: Alphabatized 1 word game (read me) Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 01-12-2004 02:48 PM                     Guys, The idea is to make SENTENCES, one word in a time, alphabetically. Make sure to read the last dozen posts before you to make sure that YOUR post is continuing the sentence and not merely throwing a word into the pile that just happens to start with the proper letter.  |  IP: Logged Adam Martin I'm not even gonna point out the irony.

It looks like your space bar is working now, but you may have three other broken keys.  |  IP: Logged Daryl C. W.

Just send two boxes of "Butter Tarts".  |  IP: Logged Daryl C. W.

What was Rip Torn's name in Men In Black, Zee? I ate the butter tarts.  |  IP: Logged Bob Maar (Maar stands for Maartini) Posts: 28608 From: New York City & Newport, RI Registered: Feb 2001 posted 01-13-2004 03:44 PM                        Darly, "Who says a DTS box can't be turned into a supernode?" I say, it can't be turned into a butter tart or into a martini or into a "supernode." These point-and-click applications enhance the cost of DMS SuperNode ownership by significantly reducing the time and effort required to complete provisioning, commissioning, performance monitoring, fault isolation, and recovery. Oh! my goodness I know how to bake a butter tart......and I usually eat them all myself.  |  IP: Logged Daryl C. W.

I just *assumed* everyone here could put together a normal sentence word by word, but when there are 20 adjectives in a row, not everyone knows their alphabet and the sentence cannot even be read straight through, it's time to throw in the towel. It's not as simple as just picking a word that begins with the next letter. Let's cool it for awhile with the games. When somebody comes up with a better idea, we'll see about starting it.  |  IP: Logged
