i promised myself i'd write today, but i really have nothing at all to say, so i'll tell you a game we used to play, when i was but a child. it would always make us laugh, to see which one would be the last, spontaneously a rhyme to cast, when i was but a child.
it went thuslywise: starting from a normal everyday conversation, someone would note the organically arising rhyme and they'd call it out, and it would go from there. is this a 'real' game? maybe it's a party game? i don't know. we never played it on purpose as a game. it was always organic and spontaneous.
as in...
alfa: they're building an arena at the boat dock.
beeda: a marina arena?
alfa: yes.
(pause)
beeda: what do you call a venue at the toe dancers' boat dock?
alfa: ballerina marina arena.
alfa: what do you call a venue at the toe dancers' boat dock on an island off the coast of california?
beeda: catalina ballerina marina arena
beeda: what do you call an eatery at a venue at the toe dancers' boat dock on an island off the coast of california?
alfa: catalina ballerina marina arena cantina
alfa: what do you call a legal notice served at an eatery at a venue at the toe dancers' boat dock on an island off the coast of california?
beeda: catalina ballerina marina arena cantina subpoena
beeda: what do you call a legal notice served to a dish of pasta at an eatery at a venue at the toe dancers' boat dock on an island off the coast of california?
alfa: catalina ballerina marina arena cantina semolina subpoena
... i think you get the point.
