The Alphabet Game!

[AgentSun]

okay. this is something a little harder than most "alphabet-related" games...the object of the game is this. each player has to post a word for the next letter in the alphabet, BUT their word has to relate to the previous one in some way, and the player has to explain how. each word has to be a noun to make it more of a thinker's game.

for example:

Apple
Baskets (because baskets can carry apples)
Car (you can store baskets in cars)
Dairy truck (type of car)

get it? anyone interested?? anyone?

the first word for the letter "A" is:

Air

[Judith]

Breathe (I breathe air)

Did I do it right?

[stellar]

Carbon Dioxide.

What you breathe out.

[NYPinTA]

So... is the next letter D or E? Cuz stellar's there kinda took care of both...

baseline, you are REALLY not getting the point of the game. it's an alphabet game...so the next word has to not only start with the next letter of the alphabet, but it has to relate to the word above.

so if my word was "wal mart" yours has to not only start with X, but it has to also relate to walmart in some way.
