Copied from Fountain Pen Network.
Rules: Your word must start with the last letter of the last word posted and contain at least two letters of that same word. (In other words, the last letter plus at least one other letter.)
So if we start with "lamp", the next word might be "plural".
Please do not repeat words that have been used before. You can check if a word has been used before at the bottom of the page using the keyword search. That function will locate every post in this thread containing the specified word.
To make it more challenging, you can try to incorporate as many letters of the preceeding word as you can into the new word.
It would be best to avoid proper nouns (names of people or places) unless that name has been incorporated into or converted into and used as a common noun such as Chrysler, Dodge, Philbrick, Phillips, Salchow, and so forth.
Avoid words ending in Y or X because words that start with the letters Y or X are in rather short supply in the English language. Exacerbating the problem is the fact the words ending in Y are very easy to make in English. Early on in the game some of us thought that we would be clever by using lots of words ending in Y, thus making it difficult on the others, but then we realized that if we kept it up for very long we would rapidly choke the game out of existence. So now we avoid words ending in X and Y.
Words should be ones that can be found in an English dictionary. (Not an encyclopedia or Wikipedia.) It's fine if it's an esoteric word from a 600,000 word dictionary but it should appear in an English dictionary somewhere. Scrabble dictionary words are okay too.
I'll start: Puzzle.

Especially after supporting Big Oil and their price gouging.....
-
I agree... a doom that is ghoulish would be a most appropriate reward for his blasphemy.
-
So we all agree he deserves hellish treatment?
-
Yes. In fact, sentence him to produce a Hegelian dialectic on gun control.
-
Aww, heck, just consign him to the necropolis.
-
Such a specious thing you say.
-
We shouldn't put him in the necropolis: it's far to spacious a place!
-
Such a specious thing you say.
...not to mention superfluous....
-
I suggest sepsis be involved in his punishment.
-
Or maybe tie him splayed over an anthill?
-
Just so long as it isn't displayed here.
-
....to the utter disdain of Zardoz-lovers everywhere....
-
A very nuanced punishment.
-
Maybe we've overreacted. Perhaps a dunce cap is more appropriate?
-
That would be quite entertaining!
-
Or, we could go more vicious, and use the guillotine...
-
Enigmatic punishments like this are just not enough.
-
Considering the nature of the crime, I believe the proposed punishments don't go far enough.
-
Granted, the court has been so far too kind in its proposals.
-
So I assume that a cease and desist order is out of the question?
-
might not be a bad idea. I just don't want to see him get off on a technicality...

We may have to consult hanging guides that were developed in the days of yore.

And we already have rules to encompass the problem: it's all fistful's fault!

Isn't that the point of a scapegoat?

Usually that is true, but we don't want to give the condemned any sort of out.

We should definitely close off entire pathways of escape.

All except one....one that we will entreat him to take...

OK, I have to ask: what terrible doom awaits down that path?

Ebola.

I think Godwin only counts if you compare someone to the historical Nazis ("That would make Hitler proud"). I think using the slang term "X-Nazis" is perfectly excusable...

Your contribution to this thread is notable for its mean spirit... but I forgive you. :angel:
-
An execrable sentiment.
-
Hey, everybody - I have an idea!
-
So yodel it already.
-
Let's get a subforum started that everyone but Fistful can access.
-
Surreal in it's simplicity.
-
And grants us a legitimate place wherein we can deride the scapegoat to our hearts' content.
-
An idea so elementary....it just might work!
-
"Elementary" as in basic, or do you mean like the periodic element yttrium?
-
Maybe he means both?
-
Whichever you hold in the highest esteem, of course...
-
As long as he is meticulous in his decision making.
-
Although somewhat sanctimonious in his condemnation...
-
I refuse to let this thread sink into oblivion. ;)
-
Well, it keeps getting revived...
-
For goodness sakes, can't we just have a little fun without all the criticism?
-
Not until our hard-hearted expressions of disapproval finally soak in.
-
I'm sorry, but that last one just kills me...
-
Really....it's not as if you are naked on a ski heading for a cliff or anything..... ;/
-
I believe we are only now getting the first inklings of the horror that is a naked Strings. Perhaps we should stop.

Speaking of naked inklings, how's the movie career?....

Gasping over the potential monumental effort that will be involved, the challenge now is to take 21 pages of disparate words and incorporate ONLY those words into a lucid commentary. (If you'll note I have used 7 of the 8 letters from the previous word. That would be another challenge; how many letters of the previous word can you incorporate in the new word. The more, the brighter you are.)

I think you are grasping at straws about being smarter for incorporating more letters from the previous word. However, as I just used 100% of the letters from your word, you may be on to something...
-
Errr. I don't seem to see an R in my word or the previous word. =D
FAIL

Great Caesar's Ghost! Since when has lucidity been a requirement for posting on an APS thread?....

There was no R in your word. However, are any of the letters missing?: using 100% of the letters =/= ONLY using your letters....

With the arrangement of letters of the word "amateur" in the previous post, it would appear that proper spelling is as endangered as the infamous snail darter.
-
The question now is - how to use the word retard in a post without insulting anybody in it?
Ah, I think I got it.

Well done. You'd have been quite a dastard to use it to apply to any of our members.
-
"Dastard"? I had to look that one up in my dictionary, since I'd never heard it used. It is a word.
-
Quite the yeoman effort, Micro.

Oooo, bringing different service branches into this is like hot molten lava.

I guess naval parlance is alive and kicking!

Start the evangelism for the use of said parlance, mate!
...Savvy?

You might have forgotten to add "arr" somewhere in there...
-
Hey, aviation jargon is fine by me. (And yeoman had meaning long before its nautical application.)
-

"Naval" refers to anything sea-going....from a sailboat to an armada.....
Hey, aviation jargon is fine by me. (And yeoman had meaning long before its nautical application.)
...not unless you yelled "yeoman" to order some newbie to buy the next round of beers....
-
>Hey, aviation jargon is fine by me. (And yeoman had meaning long before its nautical application.)<
Ok, where the hell did THAT come from?
And remember: most armadas are commanded by admirals...
-
I "thought" I posted right after makattak's lava, responding to seeker_two. Innernetz weirdness...
-
Heh... you should know better then to think... :P
-
Well, maybe next time you'll double check your work.
-
And elaborate on your intentions.

...rather than leave us to guess from the efflux of prior postings....

Well, given the difficulty of using all the letters in efflux to make another word, I guess I'll just have to contemplate my xeriscaped yard.
-
Damnation! I'm going to have to look that one up!
-
Naturally you will...
-
Naturally you will...
Relatively young though I may be, I immediately grasped the significance of xeriscaping due to my habitat in Arizona.
-
Given the lack of water there, you'd better.

So much negativity over a simple post lag...

Awww, heck, if you dislike negativity (like the previous poster) just have some peyote.

No idea... but an endoscopic examination by Ned would likely reveal intriguing results.
-
Is it possible to have just one thread where Ned's colon is not discussed?
-
Seems that's not likely...
-
The "Ned's Colon" meme is, unfortunately, terribly tenacious on this forum, and extremely difficult to put an end to.

I believe that Ned's Colon and Fistful's Fault are the two siblings that pop up in every post...now we need to incorporate Abby for the trifecta....
-
sibilant
-
And yet incredibly troublesome.
-
Hmmmm, it would appear that the postings to this thread has become very erratic
-
I completely forgot this thread existed, and don't even remember posting in it... :old:

I was wondering if any of you snowmen types have ever used yaktrax for getting around on the ice?

I have; they are excellent at keeping the surgeon's xyster (http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/xyster) at bay.
-
A restaurant is one place you wouldn't expect to find a xyster.

One might find a xyster in the kitchen of a restaurant.

Please elucidate.What it the point of this game?

Evolving. We changed the game from a new word starting with the last letter of the old word to requiring that it be used in a way that is somewhat germane to the discussion.
-
OK then. I can't wait to see what this gregarious troupe manages to come up with.
-
It would be very sagacious of you to be afraid.
-
Sagacious or no. It was pure serendipity to find it on a slow day at work
