Alphabet Game

[d's girl]

First Category: Things to do with the outdoors.

First person posts a word that begins with "A", next person posts a word that begins with "B" & so on.

The person who posts the "Z" word comes up with a new category & begins it with a "A" word.

TWIST THROWN IN ON 9/9/10: We're on a category that begins w/an "A" - how about we start choosing categories alphabetically? So the next person who posts the "Z" answer chooses a new category that begins w/"B". '-)

As of 9/12/10, we've covered:

[CaliforniaNow]

yeah, I went back and read the rules and apparently I (the z poster) was the one who was supposed to come up with a new category and, according to the extra suggestion, it was supposed to be a "U" category since the last one was T.   Yuck.  Anyhoo, How about USER - FRIENDLY THINGS (computer or not)?

A - allspice (hey, it combines  a bunch of spices; that's easy, ergo user-friendly, right?)

[Westerly_2]

Bic (lights every time, long-lasting, and you just throw it away when it's done))

[CaliforniaNow]

Contac Cold Capsules (remember them?  They had belladonna in them.  Got a cold?  Don't care?  You must have taken Contac.  That should've been their ad slogan.

[Westerly_2]

[CaliforniaNow]

[CaliforniaNow]

[Westerly_2]

[CaliforniaNow]
