Apples 2 Apples and Then Some

Hellooooo?

2010-11-26T11:42:00.002-05:00

Does anyone still read here?

We played Apples to Apples at Thanksgiving dinner last night, and it reminded me of this.

Anyone up for a game?

New Game.......Finally (sheesh)

2009-10-23T10:03:00.000-04:00

Tis the season...The word is "Jack-O-Lantern"

Make a sentence (or sentences) using each of the letters (only once) in the above word to begin each word of the sentence.
(what an awkward explanation-I unloaded 1106 pumpkins last night I'm tired)

Perhaps an example will help..first word begins with "J" next word begins with "A" etc.

Vociferous

2009-08-29T13:57:00.000-04:00

–adjective 1. crying out noisily; clamorous.
2. characterized by or uttered with vociferation: a vociferous manner of expression.

Give me a noun!

Fishy

2009-08-21T22:57:00.000-04:00

dubious
shady

I'm looking for a "fishy" noun

Crappy

2009-07-30T11:55:00.002-04:00

useless
inadequate
inferior

Give me a crappy noun

Curvy

2009-07-23T12:30:00.003-04:00

If you guys don't mind I would like to return to our original game. I'll give an adjective and it's definition, and you give me a noun that goes with it.

Curvy: wavy, shapely, winding

In Honor of Harry Potter

2009-07-16T12:00:00.001-04:00

In Honor of the Harry Potter movie that just came out, I would like you to define this magical spell and use it in a sentence. :)

PORTANGULOUS

New Word!

2009-06-19T12:35:00.001-04:00

Because I like this game and because, as I have no doubt pointed out before, I have no imagination for coming up with something else...

the word is

trabilmo.

define and use in a sentence (unless you are on vacation or at the lake or...)

Another Word Verification

2009-06-04T23:28:00.001-04:00

Put this one in a sentence:

oxyflemp

Oops

2009-06-04T23:24:00.003-04:00

Forgot I was up. Sorry 'bout that, folks. Let me put my thinking hat on for a moment :)

More Word Verification; Because I'm Not Tired of it Yet :P

2009-05-26T08:52:00.002-04:00

This word verification sounds like a real word to me. But I don't want you to give me the real meaning if there is one. Just make up your own definition and use it in a sentence.

Exigist

More, More! Word Verification!

2009-05-15T19:54:00.002-04:00

Nene, no doubt distracted by my singing, has mistakenly named me the winner for this round. Because I like her taste in musical ability and because I have not the brains to come up with my own ideas, we'll stick with this game for another around. After fishing around a while a bit (instead of working) I have settled on:

caflalop

give a definition and use it in a sentence.

(extra points if you can name the real title and artist of the song I was referring to in the Valarosa post in reference to her RV)

More Word Verification

2009-05-07T23:41:00.004-04:00

Let's do some more Word Verification. This is an actual word verification that I got today while commenting on some blogs. Give me a definition and use it in a sentence.

The word is: STURV

Word Verification

2009-05-05T18:48:00.002-04:00

This is really Nene's idea, but I think it's fun. For this round, I'm going to give you a word verification instead of a real word. This is an actual word verification that I have used. Please give me a definition for it, AND use it in a sentence. :)

New Definition Game

2009-04-21T21:11:00.003-04:00

It would appear that I have had a momentary stroke of creativity (and the rest of you have obviously been busy) and managed to find myself in the position of coming up with the next game. Looking back through the posts I find myself humbled to be in the midst of such creative minds.

Without looking it up, give the definition of the word "flibbertigibbet and use it in a sentence.

When everyone is done, I'll post the stories...and pick a winner.

Let's try, if it's too hard, we can give up ;0

Your list will be in the comment section so that you can see it while you comment...

Your answers can be phrases, they don't have to be single words.

Idea for new kind of game

2009-01-28T10:50:00.002-05:00

After posting the word Siallic, I thought of another type of game we can play. Have you ever played Mad Lib? I know I already posted one game, but I'll throw out a second just for the heck of it.

Fill in the blanks.

John gleefully opened his__________ before buying a new ______________

Phrontistery

2009-01-22T23:28:00.002-05:00

I found a website that catalogs unusual/outdated words called The Phrontistry.

Interesting place, but before you visit, use the word in a sentence.

Poe Toaster

2009-01-19T08:48:00.003-05:00

ok, went looking for words and found out that today, Jan. 19th is well, look it up-

2009-01-08T07:38:00.000-05:00

Please use the word 'epiglotis' in a sentence. Can be the true or imagined meaning :)

Chrysanthemum

2009-01-05T17:57:00.002-05:00

We all know that a chrysanthemum is a flower, however I'm looking for creative definitions. I hope by choosing a word with many syllables with give lots of scope for your imaginations.

Dear Mr. President....

2009-01-01T23:46:00.003-05:00

ok, here's your chance to let it rip so to speak...

sorry to those non-American friends, but hey, go ahead and let your voice be heard! Write what you would say to president elect Obama on inaugeration day.

I got this idea because my children are actually sending him letters through a program called Writing without Tears.

Let's go with some creative definitions again! Let's hear your mistletoe :)

Usually...

2008-12-20T16:42:00.003-05:00

I actually find a lot of Christmas traditions quite annoying. Might have something to do with the fact I don't like Christmas pudding, Christmas cake and besides which it is not cold and snowing here!

So I'm looking for the funniest sentence starting with the word, "Usually". Bonus points if it is to do with Christmas!

P.S. I'll be back in 48 hours.

Snow

2008-12-18T11:30:00.001-05:00

YULE

2008-12-12T08:52:00.002-05:00

Make a sentence ending with the word 'pointsettia'.

THE TURKEY

2008-11-27T10:40:00.002-05:00

ok- I'm loving balderdash, but couldn't find a good balderdash word for thanksgiving.

We are back to "write a sentence begining with the words...."

The Turkey.......

Rhinorrhea

(and yes, I know what the first one will be......)

Balderdash

2008-11-17T19:36:00.006-05:00

Anyone ever played Balderdash? I'm going to provide an obscure word, and want you to write the definition. Here's the twist from the original game: because any of us could look up the correct definition on the web, I'm not looking for the correct definition.

I am looking for the most entertaining or most creative MADE-UP definition of the following adjective. Have fun with it!
