The 3 Word Game

July 17th, 2008 by Rodney

Here’s a simple game.  I’ll start off a story with 3 words.  The next poster will continue with 3 more words.  Then the next poster will continue with 3 more words and on and on and on.  Punctuation marks don’t count as a word so feel free to end a sentence and start a new one.  For example:

#1: Back in the
#2: day, there was
#3: a goat and
#4: a banana fish
#5: that were best
#6: friends.  They went
#7: steady for 20
#8: months until they
#9: had a baby.
#10: It was one
#11: ugly thing that

You get it?

Now, the rules are simple:
- Only 3 words per entry
- Can’t reply to your own post
- Keep it clean (as much as possible)
- Acronyms count as one word such as: “one SBD fut”
- Emoticon don’t count as a word :grin:
- Hit the refresh before posting (you shouldn’t lose your work)
- Feel free to write comments under the 3 words
- If a late post sneaks in between, try to ignore one and keep it going as I won’t be here to clean up.

And Queenie (Shauna) has graciously volunteered to moderate (and play) in the game so don’t think just because I’m gone nobody is watching.  She has permission to whack the back of your hands with a ruler if you don’t behave yourself.  *Shauna, call me if they’re not playing nicely.

So, let’s get started!  Let’s see how far this will go.

    Yay! new game! I go first…

    time, there lived

    Hm, should I be honored or insulted by the mention of the Banana fish in the sample story? Must be fiction, cause my baby would be teh sexxeh even if the baby-mama is a goat. :lol:


  2. Rodney:

    a funny looking

    @BF - you should be honored :grin:


  3. BananaFish:

    blog host named

    @Rodney - okay, I’m honored! :D
    I guess not everyone gets mentioned in the subject post. Whoo-hoo!

    Even if I had an ugly half-goat baby. :lol:


  4. Shauna:

    Prune Fish who

    I stayed up late Rodney just for you! Needed to make sure these night owls played nicely while everyone else is in bed. But it looks like only Banana and I are playing! ;)


  5. Rodney:

    after a very

    The goat told me she had an ugly half-banana kid. :lol:
    Thanks Shauna. I’m just about done packing.


  6. BananaFish:

    long, cold shower

    LOL! You guys are rude. And yet I keep coming back for more. ;)

    And whatchu mean, Queenie, I always play nice! ;)

    What kind of behavior did you expect form a guy who had to work in a room full of pr0n? :lol: :lol:


  7. Shauna:

    decided to peel

    we’re not rude! :) i’m finally getting you back! haha!
    btw, did you get bold by doing this: words here
    i learned that in breaking news editing but wasn’t sure if it applied here.
    also, are we able to post photos in the comment field? i’m asking for a future blog post.

    have fun, rodney! so jealous you’re going to my favorite vacation spot!


  8. Rodney:

    a hayden mango

    How are you making the bold? You’re not using the “strong” html word?
    As for pictures, I tried once before to add them using the “img” html word, but didn’t work.

    Las Vegas - the happiest place on earth (for adults) :wink:


  9. BananaFish:

    off the skin

    how wow, I feel like I being ganged up on. hehe ;)

    No worries though, I can take it.

    Gonna go cry in the corner now :cry:

    :lol:

    *sigh* I’m trying to remember the last time I went to Vegas. Was maybe 5 years ago. It must be so different now. I know the Wynn wasn’t built yet. Was probably under construction. I stayed at the Stardust, and now that’s gone. :(


  10. BananaFish:

    d’oh! too slow.

    hmm…might make for an interesting follow up though.

    I’m using the “strong” tag to bold


  11. Shauna:

    Juicy and sweet,

    done crying yet?
    since i’m still up, i’m gonna post one up soon. hope the headline doesn’t make you have to go in for another shower. haha! :)


  12. BananaFish:

    just like a

    *sniff sniff* I’m not crying! I had something in my eye! ;)

    Oh my, I think I’d better go to sleep now, before I get all worked up and won’t be able to sleep for a while. :lol:

    You’d like that, wouldn’t you! ;) :lol:


  13. Shauna:

    blossoming and untouched

    OK, the “penis” post is up… ;) good night and sweet dreams.


  14. Rodney:

    ume. It tasted

    I’m calling it a night. Will check back in the morning.
    Thanks Shauna.


  15. Ukuhead:

    sour and smelled


  16. anklebiters:

    like someone’s toe-jams…


  17. anklebiters:

    Maybe somethings from here will work for special effects:

    or it may be just reserved for administrators.


  18. hemajang:

    but alas a


  19. NKHEA:

    it was not


  20. hemajang:

    I think it would help if there was a running text with what has been written so far, otherwise hard to follow the story. Something our resident editor can do?


  21. NKHEA:

    yeah, yeah I concur….Shauna did I use concur correctly?


  22. Rodney:

    edible. So he

  26. Shauna:

    ….

    is it just me or is this story not making any grammatical sense? i don’t even know what to add since i’m a bit lost… so next poster can continue the story…

    hemajang and NKHEA: running text would help! but i’m not sure how to do that considering i’m only checking in here and there. sorry! i’m a bad moderator! :(

    there may have been some problems with the blog sites earlier today. i just managed to get on now… things look like there are OK now.


  27. Shauna:

    OK, I’ll use Queenie powers to start new sentence.

    Remember the time…


  28. anklebiters:

    It’s all ‘hemajang’ now :lol:


  29. Shauna:

    crap, there’s a typo in my other post!! anyways…


  30. anklebiters:

    Shauna:
    Was going to say something but…..figured I better not, don’t want the Queenie mad at us.


  31. Goodbeer:

    we did it

    I’m following Queenie’s #27 post


  32. Rodney:

    Sorry everyone. I finally was able to clean up some. System was acting funky earlier and couldn’t get in.

    That’s why is suggest hitting the refresh button right before the Submit Comment button, just to see if your post still fits.

    firm but overflowing

    NKHEA - If you go to either Pike’s Market or Pacific Place Shopping Center, gotta try Pike Place Chowder. WINNAHS! The New England style clam chowder is guud, but I think the Seafood Bisque is better. I think they get a sampler too, so you can try like 4 different ones

    Oh, and go to Daily Dozen Doughnuts in Pike’s Market. Get ‘um with cinnamon sugar, so it’s hot. Broke da mout’!
