This time we'll create an interactive story AS we play the game. For example, I'll say the word

LION

then write a sentence or two use'n LION, such as

Leroy the LION, the only LION living in a downtown LA Condo woke up a bit hungry when the alarm clock went off.

Someone else might then respond with a word, say,
JUNGLE
and continue the story using the word JUNGLE as in,

How Leroy, a lion got kidnapped from the JUNGLE by a tour bus full of senior citizens and taken to LA know one knows.

Someone else might respond with the word
TREES
continuing the saga of Leroy with

"TREE'S .. WHERE'RE the TREE'S" Leroy kept asking (in Lion talk of course). Apparently there are no TREE'S in downtown LA.


So when the game ends we'll not only have a winner but a crazy mixed up story as well .. the kind a 2 year old doped up on Ovaltene might write while he's fall'n asleep. But,
a story never-the-less.

AND, the ice'n on the cake .. if the person you're respond'n to created such a ZINGER, such a LOL out loud feel free to give that person a gold star by putting

GOLD STAR TO XYZ (xyz being the person who did the zinger)

in YOUR response. Feel free go GOLD STAR anyone anytime during the game as in

GOLD STAR TO JALAPENOMAN

and NO, you can't GOLD STAR yourself.


In the end there'll be a winner AND a second runner up, the person with the most GOLD STARS.

Am I the president or what?
I might not can run a war but I sure can come up with a fun word game.
Let's begin. My word is in fact

LION.

Our target word is ..

EGG

Here's the beginning of the saga of Leroy the LION ..

Leroy the LION, the only LION living in a downtown LA Condo woke up a bit hungry when the alarm clock went off.

On his way to USC to feast on a nice breakfast of Trojans and cheerleaders (note: humans usually used trojans with their cheerleaders - unless they were just eating them), however, Larry the Lion was mugged by a street gang of Chicanos called Los Tigres.

This being a new venture into the unknown I have to initially .. give ya a GOLD STAR for that response Mr Peno.

GOLD STAR TO JALAPENOMAN
for USC/Los Tigres remark

Try and give the other folks a chance though in your future responses. Poor Larry, a LION, mugged by a street gang .. ok then .. let's go with

..

GRAFITTI (sp)

Larry, barely escaping from the Los Tigres street gang made it back to his LA condo to the shower scrubbing over and over to remove the GRAFITTI marks the Los Tigres gang painted on him with their Los Magic Markers.

After his shower to remove the Grafitti, Larry made it safely to the local Denny's, where he ate a healthy breakfast of a waitress (over easy) and a busboy (lightly toasted) while reading the Wall Street Journal.

The Denny's manager, not pleased with the bloody mess he had to clean up after Leroy's meal bonked Leroy over the head with a BRICK before calling the LA police to come pick up the lion with a belly full of breakfast.

After booking the Lion, the police spokesman released a statement to ELVS radio saying that "he's in the jail house now."

The jail HOUSE though not the fanciest in Beverly Hills did have a sushi bar and a nice green LAWN where the prisioners so inclined to play croquet could, play croquet.
Or horse shoes .. whichever turned the prisoners on the most.

Our still hungry friend the Lion decided to help the gamers: he ate a few horses so that the shoe throwers could expand their game, he ate a croquet and contributed its balls, and then ate a few birds so that the feathers could be added to the darts (to keep the dart throwers from getting "board".

Poor Leroy .. who'd have known that a lawn dart through the heart could bring down a 600 pound lion. Services for Leroy this Saturday. He's going out in style though, the lead hearse being a modified DODGE dart driven by Snoop doggie dawg himself.

Snoop Dogg and the other inmates who were able to DODGE the dart sat around and smoked pot at the funeral. When the smell of pot brought Leroy back to life, he roared his way out of the coffin, turned to Snoop Dogg and said, "Why do you spell your NAME with two gs?"

Leroy, still coming down off a second hand smoke high (and being in a coffin) went on to ask Mr Dogg what kind of name is Snoop for a killer ganster rapper. Dogg then pulled out a DICTIONARY and tossed it over to the Lion (now with the munchies) for the lion to peruse at his leisure.

Leroy, interpreting the thrown dictionary as an attack and having the munchies, quickly ate the rapper, with soy sauce, of course, as Dog is chinese food - even if it does come in a plain brown rapper. A policeman who witnessed the crime said that they would have to throw the book at him for this one.

Before the policeman could throw the book at him, Leroy threw some salt in the cop's face to blind him. Then, after adding a little more salt as well as some pepper, Leroy gobbled down the policeman. Willie Nelson, one of the other inmates attending the funeral, grabbed his guitar and provided a heartfelt rendition of "Crazy."

Unfortunately Leroy "liked" Willie Nelson a little too well .. done that is. After starting a fire in the police station and frying (not grilling Mr Nelson, sorry Burger King) Leroy, stuffed to the gills from all the day's meals ate the G string off Willie's guitar for dessert and coughed up a MELODY not unlike the intro to the Bevely Hillbillies as played by the late Lester Flatt and Earl Scruggs.

Leroy knew he was in trouble and needed a place to hide out, so he used his free police station phone call to call a mafia guy he knew named Tony Soprano.

Leroy, though a wild, powerful, 600 pound killer African Lion knew when to shut up, that time being now in the presence of the infamous HBO Soprano family : O
After playing a few games on Tony's new PS3 (Tony got 7 of 'em, he's sorry about the fatalities it took to get 'em)
Leroy sat back and enjoyed a few Liza Minelli tunes as played exclusively for Leroy the lion by Tony Soprano and his wailing alto SAXOPHONE

Tony and his mob buddies discussed where to hide Leroy from the police and decided that he could pretend to be Lizza Minelli's new boyfriend (as she would be afraid to beat up on him and no one could look scarier than her), so Tony made a telephone call...

The CALL was to Armani to arrange some private fittings for a wardrobe for Leroy -- to go with his new status as boyfriend to a major celebrity. Tony asked Leroy if he thought he could pull this off and Leroy ANSWERED that it was an offer he couldn't refuse.

Leroy's PRAYERS were answered when Liza's (with a Z) driver picked Leroy up from the Soprano mansion and whisked him off to Rodeo drive for a shopping spree fit for a king
(of the jungle)

Leroy was excited about his trip to Rodeo Drive, as he thought that there would be several bulls and horses for him to eat. "My GOD," he said upon seeing the shopping district, "There's nothing here but a bunch of skinny, rich white women carrying little miniature dogs!"

Remember folks, we're trying to get to the word Egg.


For some reason Leroy, surrounded by high fashion Armani, Gucci, Ralph stores chose to wander, out of all places into your average peasant's boutique, Victoria's Secret where coincidentally a Victoria's fashion show was going on, no mini dogs allowed.
God BLESS America AND it's subsidiaries was all poor Leroy could say after one of the Victoria's Secret scantily clad models came over and stroked the lion's mane just the right way.

Leroy swelled with enthusiasm at the stroking of the model. He looked at the entire group in their lacy intimates and asked if all would like to be part of the pride of a manly, studly, well hung lion and worship the ground he walked on.

Leroy didn't know, though, how new girlfriend Liza Minnelli would react to the esteem shown to him by all these ladies. But then, he figured so what if she had cracked the head of former husband David Gest? Leroy knew his own head was much harder. It would not crack under pressure of any kind. Besides, if she gave him any trouble, he could just eat her!

Liza (with a Z) elated to finally have a REAL manly man in her life (even if it was a lion) quickly hid her little dog Moto (Toto's great great great grand dog) in the attic just in case Leroy ever woke up with the munchies or .. simply woke up, ravenous. Having eaten over a dozen life forms in 24 hours and being Dorothy's daughter's boy toy, Leroy's self esteem was at an all time HIGH.

Unlike Liza's mother's lion friend, Leroy did not lack the courage to face hiding out with a woman who resembled the wicked witch more than Dorothy. In all fairness, however, he felt that he could deal a little better with her morning face or morning breath if he were drunk or STONED.
