Aw c'mon Baldy. You are not getting into the spirit of the game. The
clue [Confucius He Says:]is to pick up a few key words from a wallah's
last post and 'go off on a tangent' - in as ridiculous a direction as
possible. Garble a common idiom or metaphor in one sentence. Two
spoils the effect. Mess up the other guy's mind. How? A single
sentence reintroduces a long forgotten admonition you likely heard
from your father or in school that you never really understood except
that you must have goofed somewhere. Bet that drove you up the wall
cuz'they never told you what you actually did wrong.
That's my game. Your part of the game is to out tangent and out
ridicule me. Then we, everybody, has a good laugh.
No "Ha Ha Ha" or "Bwawawas" please at the end of your post. That's so
