Actually, the phrase "My hovercraft is full of eels" comes from Monty Python.

Someone forwarded me a copy of their change instead of sending it to Seko. In future, please send any copies to the host always (I didn't really read their change, so it shouldn't disrupt the game).

It was probably Sanchez since everyone else so far has sent in theirs. Making the changed word bold is helpful for checking things like this but I'm wondering if it affects how the next person along the line acts, since they will most likely avoid changing a word that was last changed. Would there be more intrigue if people didn't know which word was last changed?

I'd usually tend to ingnore the emboldening and change whichever word I see fit, so it's probably useless.

I avoid changing the bold word, since otherwise it would effectively negate the turn before me.

Btw, I accidentally sent a copy of my change back to sanchez, but other that that the recipients were the same as they were. Only their roles have changed! :lol:

Sorry guys, I was waiting for Tangential without realizing that his turn was in fact before mikki and he'd already messaged me. The last sentence might reveal the association...

Mom ate my banana pancakes. (original) :arrow:
Mom ate my banana split. (sparkle) :arrow:
Mom barfed my banana split. (trexdino) :arrow:
Mom barfed my cooking. (sanchez) :arrow:
Mom barfed while cooking. (UDT) :arrow:
Mom laughed while cooking. (joo) :arrow:
Mom squatted while cooking. (Tangential) :arrow:
Tang squatted while cooking. (mikki)

It's interesting how cooking changes from noun to verb there.

We did a good job there!

Must be your magic touch. Go ahead, trexdino. Seko, can you send trexdino the subscription list?

I got an entry from Seko, but I don't know to whom to send it. Please post the list. And sorry for the delay, but I haven't enough patience for this lag.

Sanchez is impatient with the lag, but give her some more time.
