As a newbie, I assume you've probably done this before on these boards, but I haven't seen any threads like this since I came here, so I'll start a new one. (How's THAT for a run-on sentence?)
Just in case you haven't done this before, here's the procedure: I will start it off with a word and others will put down the first word that comes into their mind on seeing that word, and so on.
Knowing this group, I'm hoping we'll come up with some interesting words.
First Word: BLENDER

homely
a word which i think still retains two different meaning depending on whether you speak UK english (pretty, in simple country way) or US english (common, to the point of being ugly)

potter
house-elves and snowy owls are both in the Harry Potter world
Now there's a slight variation on the theme: make the next term in the series the result of considering the two immediately previous words! The game is to find the connection.

anomalies
in sea horses (water/horses), the male of species carries around the fertilized eggs in a pouch (a fold of skin) not the female. i think the connection is self evident (and most connections so far have not been to weird), but.
