Yeah, yeah… another attempt by me to create a chain.

Just post whatever’s on your mind, except… umm… it must start with the fifth letter of the previous poster’s thought… and… um… it cannot contain any “e"s.

And to all of those L337 H4><0rs out there, substituting a 3 for an e is not allowed.

I shall start:

My town had rain today.

Silly human, I was implying that my town had snow, not Tampa.

You’d think I’d know that you had your town in mind, foolish girl am I.

That was not at all too obvious and I know similar things will occur now and again.

Wait, my instructions said that our Thoughts should not sound as if a “chat” is going on.

My, I can’t find you having said that at all. In fact, you took part in this chatty activity also, no?

Oops, look at your third-to-last word. It contains two bad things.

Looking back up this list, it sounds as if punctuation is not to count as a symbol (I’m not starting with a comma!)

Isn’t it hard to string a bunch of words along without using any you-know-whats?

So… by saying that posts in this topic should not sound as if it’s a “chat”, I was trying to imply that all Thoughts should ‘b’ icon_smile.gif random, as I did say in my instructions.

Spazum64, I can’t find that in your instructions at all. “Just post what’s on your mind” and “Almost...Random Thoughts” has room for chat-ish posts, in my opinion. But it’s your chain, and you may do what you wish with it. All of us will comply with randomality if that is what you want. icon_smile.gif
