I think I know what my theme is going to be! May I say, you're ahead of me on nigh, near, next, and ie. Are we to do this one word per day? I'm so excited, I want to do all five right now! Guess I'd better go look at your Misc. post, huh? Edit: ne'er mind, on ie--just saw it in another post and got my memory jogged.

"Game" is a colloquialism perhaps some of our members may not be familiar with. Reminds me of joke about some football jocks out hunting. They met a sexy bimbo, and said: "We're hunting for game. Seen any?" She said: "No, but I'm game!" So they shot her. I wonder what figure of speach "I'm game" is. So who's going to throw out the first ball in of troy's new game?
