Originally Posted By: Jackie I think Sparteye's the person who had us doing something like this lo these many years ago: take the first and last headwords of an open dictionary, and make a sentence out of them--the weirder the better.

When you do one, put two more for the next person. Hm. Where'd I get that crazy idea.... Oh yeah! At the top of the page, in the roolz!

It really is funny, because you can totally see it both ways, which neither of us did at first. I do have a physical dictionary, but too lazy to go get it...
