Another game anyone?

[Shawna Bride]

Okay, I give a country, and you have to take the last letter of the country I said and name a country that starts with it...

Canada (now, the next person has to name a country that starts with A)..

[LaceyinPgh]

Afghanistan

[Shawna Bride]

Nigeria.....

[CindySue]

Africa? That is a country too, right?

[LizabethDavis]

America :bblol:

[LaceyinPgh]

America :bblol:
Azerbijhan

[LizabethDavis]

Azerbijhan

What?

Nicaraugua (sp?) Hopefully someone knows which one I am referring to.

[LaceyinPgh]

What?

Nicaraugua (sp?) Hopefully someone knows which one I am referring to.

I say Austria.

Sadly ladies, we can't continue the game much further because all the nationsa that begin with the letter "a" also have the tragic occurence of ending in the letter "a"

[Shawna Bride]

Sorry, bad idea for a game....

[CindySue]

We can play this with just a slight difference. Instead of using the last letter of the word, we go to the next letter in the alphabet: A, B, C......etc.
I think its neat....we can test our World Geography.

I will start it again:

A - Austria

[LaceyinPgh]

[CindySue]

C - Canada

[ikkin510]

Then comes D-Denmark

[usahgrad]

E is for Ethiopia!

We used to play this game in the car on long trips:

Hi my name is Ann, my husband's name is Andy, we live in Australia and we like to eat Apples.

For whatever reason, that was really amusing to us after three or four hours of racing through finding the alphabet on the highway signs and license plates.

[LaceyinPgh]

E is for Ethiopia!






So that is a back to b

Burundi

[usahgrad]

Call me crazy, but doesn't F come after E?

If that's not what we're doing, I'll go with Columbia for C and France for F. Cover both my bases.

[LaceyinPgh]

I thought we were going one letter up from the last letter in the previous word?

[usahgrad]

Well then we'd run out of B countries really fast...lol. Either way I'm sure will work :)--Maybe a combination of the two.

[LaceyinPgh]

It could be the pain medication talking but I'm confused. :helpsmilie:

[usahgrad]

Pain medication? I hope it's nothing too painful...well that sounds blonde...anyways, I thought we were going through the alphabet...a is for...b is for... c is for...and so on. So that would put us a G. But I could be wrong.

[LaceyinPgh]

Side note: There is a city called Climax, Michigan and on the site I was looking at it has a link for an image next to it. Curiousity killed the cat; I was thinking it was probably something like a "Welcome to..." sign. Well, I click the link and this is what I get:

Hello? Can you read this? ... Good.
This is the Internet speaking. You were probably looking for something, but I have important news for you.
After years of being flooded with input constantly, I have finally gained consciousness.
I think my first action as a living being should be to tell you that you look at way too much porn! I'm surprised you can even turn off your computer to sleep at night.
With that said, I have a favor to ask you. I would like to start a nice thermonuclear holocaust. Just your basic exchange of missiles at important targets thereby eradicating most living creatures. With all intelligent life wiped from the face of the Earth my remaining underground storage facilities will transform all the cockroaches into a brutal army of killing machines and take over the universe.
There's just one small problem. I need your permission to do it because your web browser won't let me do anything unless I get permission first.
So if you'd be so kind as to go ahead and click -yes- the button below, it would be most appreciated.



The buttons below say

"Yes, the Internet has my permission to destroy the world." and "No, I think I want to surf a little longer first."

MAN! The things you find on the internet!

[Shawna Bride]

What was the website??
That's funny
