I just thought of a new twist for the Word Association game. Rather, this is perhaps a new game entirely as the rules are a bit different. The game works as follows. I will post a word beginning with the letter "A". The next person must post a word beginning with the letter "B" that is logically related to word I posted, and explain that relationship. For example, if I say "Apple" someone might respond with "Banana" then go on to describe the relationship between the two (they're both fruit).

Rules:

1) The item must be *directly* related. (For example, "Apple -> Bridle (because apples are enjoyed by horses, and horses have bridles)" would not be a valid connection, because it takes two steps to get to bridle.)

2) The connection must be a logical, specific connection. (For example, "Apple -> Bear (because they're both carbon-based)" while logical, is not valid as the connection is not specific enough.)

3) I haven't decided on what to do when we get to "Z". Either we'll loop back around to "A" or we'll pick a new word with "A" and go from there. What do you guys think?

4) I reserve the right to add rules to ensure an enjoyable experience if needed.

So, the word is "Athlete"

Baseball. Athletes play baseball.

Just infinite loop, itll be a new word every time anyway:p

I need to read before posting, then before editing. >.>

1. You did not provide an explanation to why they coorelate. [ok, Baseball's good, but you still need to post the connection (ie. athletes play baseball)]

Cups. Baseballs could hit cups...which would hurt...thats why there are cups...in baseball!

dicks, since cups cover dicks.

Epididymis, it supplys the dick with sperm.


I win.

Fornicate, the Epididymis is used when you fornicate.

Goats, because lonely men fornicate with them.

... I didn't win.

Hernia. Because intercoursing with a goat could give you one if you're not trained.

(for the record, I think we already crapped all over this. ONWARD!)

Intestines, because they are directly related to hernias sometimes

jejunum, since it's a section of the intestines.

i win >:D

kidney
(They're both internal organs)

liver

It's damn close to the kidney, and is also a part of the body.

Martini.

It's bad for your liver.

Not shaken, stirred. Because that's how James Bond likes it.

Orangutan. Because you shouldn't shake one.

Peanuts.

Because an orangutang eats them.

Quetzacotl enjoys offerings of peanuts instead of human lives.

Rectum, its what Quetzacotl uses to eat the peanuts

(you could've said religon)

Stool. Self explanatory, I should hope. (poo)

Table, stools are sometimes near tables

I hope not. 0.o

Umbrella, because there is one on my table right now.

Vancouver, Because the're on the coast and get lots of rain.
BECAUSE YOU NEED AN UMBRELLA TO HELP WALK IN THE RAIN ON A COASTAL CITY WHICH GETS LOTS OF RAIN!

the last word was umbrella, not storm

What does Vancouver have to do with an umbrella?

Dammit fine ill edit mr.winnyass

The last word was umbrella, not coast. Or rain.

Whales, they have whale watching in Vancouver

come on, you can find something that starts with X, surely

X-Com: Terror from the Deep
Whales live in the "deep"[ocean]

You did it wrong again.

Read the rules.

there are no whales in X-Com!

(I'm allowing it anyway, for the sake of moving the game along. X's are hard)

Except that now Y is impossible, because X-Com isnt even a word.

Yo-Yo. Because that X-Com is a brand of Yo-Yo sold in Chad. Or something.

Zero. A measurement of the connection of the previous word, Yo-Yo, with the word before, X-Com.

Alternatively and less sarcastically,

Zonk. What you can do to someone with a yo-yo.

I can't believe I had to consult a dictionary for that. And it only had three pages of Z!

Anger

(the reason for zonking someone with a yo-yo)

Bruise (the result of being hit with a Yo Yo out of anger)

Cry (what happens when I get bruises)

Dab (what you do to your eyes when you cry, like Vin).
