Have another go Caterpillar

LOL. How about the Eagles' song, "Heartache Tonight," since "heartache" is actually one word?

tonight will be fine

LOL.

Stop laughing, your turn!

Actually, Dutchman, it's your turn. You didn't submit one for "tonight."

Tonight's the night.

"tonight will be fine" was my submission, now get on with the job whipper snipper

Spendi has the right idea!!

I didn't realize that "tonight will be fine" was a submission. I thought you were just giving me permission to use "Heartache Tonight" as my submission. In that case, my submission is "fine wine." If it's "tonight's the night" I'm supposed to use, then my submission is "Night Must Fall," a play by Emlyn Williams.

Now let me ask you a question. Doesn't one's submission have to be a recognizable phrase or expresssion? "Tonight's the night," for example, is a well-known expression, as well as the title of a song. "Tonight will be fine," however, is not a well-known expression. That being the case, what's the point of the game if we can just make up expressions that nobody ever heard of because they don't really exist?

Best to check page 1 to see the rules of the game before playing.

You start off with a small phrase and the next person follows with a phrase starting with the last word of the previous phrase and so on.

Has nothing to do with known phrases. I would kindly suggest that you play by the rules like the rest of the inmates.

Thank you.

I never said I was unwilling to play by the rules. I'd be happy to. I was simply trying to obtain clarification as to what they were. Thank you for clarifying. So, for example, one can follow "A wandering minstrel I" with "I have to go to the bathroom." (From the sublime to the ridiculous.)

To "kindly suggest" that I play by the rules was unnecessary and a bit bullyish, I thought. To refer me to page 1 would have been sufficient. I actually did look at page 1, where I saw a list of recognized phrases. When I got to "Trees are special" I was puzzled, and it didn't register fully that anything goes, because it never would have occurred to me that any old phrase was permissible.

My profound apologies.

You're doing great Caterpillar, hope all is clear now and you keep us blokes on the straight and narrow.

Thanks, Dutchy. You have a good heart.
