The Alphabet game

X-cuse my interruption. I was just going to ride off into the sunset, but decided to have my say before I went. Dutchy, my dear, NO ONE wants any of you banned to any one thread and NO ONE wants to call you male chauvinists.

What I (and I can only speak for myself) would like is to click into a thread that is supposedly playing a particular game and find that game is actually being played. There is believe it or not, lots of room for levity, innuendo and plenty of double entendres while sticking to this basic principle. On this thread for example you can say what you like about anything you like - all that is asked is that you start your post with the next letter of the alphabet. Is that really so hard? It would seem that it is.

I think Clary's suggestion was simply the creation of a separate thread without any rules or purpose where you could all blabber on to your hearts' content about sexual prowess, the role of women, etc. etc. We could call it the "Naughty Little Boys Chalking Rude Words Like 'BUM' and 'BOTTOM' On the Toilet Walls At School Thread.

As it is now, every second thread seems to have been taken over by what can only be called the"boring old fart" syndrome and one is only welcome to participate if prepared to kow-tow to the absurd nonsense propounded by one or two people.

It is not me being "uppish", my friend. Nor am I averse to "letting my hair down". I am not irate nor do I think I am better than anyone else, I just don't want to be bored out of my brain when I want to play a game with seemingly intelligent people.

If you've got nothing better to do, just check back through the threads and ask yourself why so many of the regulars rarely contribute these days. Could it be they have similar feelings?

Yowzas - I had no idea this stuff was going on... can we change the subject?

Zero chance before I have a short reply. Point taken lezzles, your sincerity is beyond question, no hard feelings my dear. :wink:

(What would you like to suggest Mame, are we going to search for your Ruby lips, which seem to have disappeared?)

A cat among the pigeons, I seem to have caused. To be fair to the participants, there was a reasonable conversation about chess going on and I leapt to the wrong conclusion that this was yet another directionless flirtation going on with no attention to the game. My sincere apologies to Dutchy and I should definitely read the previous postings, mea maxima culpa.
But in support of Lezzles and those who do play the game, can it be so hard to start your first sentence with a particular letter? That's the ONLY rule! Or to talk about yourself alphabetically? Come on guys, you aren't as stupid as you seem!

Bravo Clary, you are a role model of what a true woman is, a woman who has a backbone, smart, beautiful (if your previous Avatar is the real you ), compassionate and takes no insults. I'm blown away by your "mea maxima culpa", it takes a special woman to make an admission of a flawed nature and the willingness to make amends for it, I accept your apology with great humility.

Cor, blimey, strike a light mate! Well, I accept your very handsome apology - if you are half as handsome as it is, you must be a corker! (And yes, that was me a couple of years ago... think more wrinkles have appeared since then.)

Do you not know that Brantome in The Lives of Gallant Ladies claims that wrinkles only appear on epidermal surfaces exposed to the light and that areas not exposed to the light remain pristine even until a ripe old age.

Epidermal surfaces seem to be the cause of much concern among certain sets - celebrities, for example.

Fashion and frippery; fun but footling.

Good Evening Clary, still up this time of the night?

Goodness (she said filling in the missing G), it isn't that late is it? Oh yes, quarter to midnight. I liked our mutual admirations osciety above

Hey what's up, missing "G" and "osciety is not in my dictionary
Sticking religiously to the alphabet.....

I know you are NOW. But you weren't. Too sleepy, osciety creeping in. G'night!

Joyfully wishing you Goodnight also.

Kept on going while I slept, you did, and now here I am back again on a bright and sunny Saturday morning!

Late evening here and raining, nothing worthwhile on TV so a few entries on the threads to pass the time.

Mid-day here and a beautiful, balmy, sunny day. (are we reduced to the weather? lol)

No, there must be something more exciting. Apparently Mathos is having a party in his cave and spendius is organizing it. On second thoughts, perhaps the weather is more riveting.

Observation of Clary being critical regarding Matho's party and Spendius

Poor Mathos! Or is it poor Spendi? Which was she speaking about being less than riveting, do you think?
