This is an excellent creative thinking game. Your objective is to post something that, in some way, is better than the previous post. For example:

An elephant has a trunk.
"But a Pidgeon can fly"
But a Volkswagon Beetle can go faster
...


We play this game a lot in drama, and it can get really fun. There is no possible end for this game!! It can go on for as long as possible. I don't want to turn this into a game or anything, but just a fun activity to extend thinking. If no one posts in awhile...feel free to post again! As long as it stays clean, it should get interesting!

To start off,

Coca-Cola bottles come in 4 different sizes...

But a hat is a far more sensible thing to put on your head.

Yeah, I know, this is a cheap one. But in a fair competition, nothing could ever beat ice-cream.

Patrick, I thought you were promoting Firefox with your avatar. What was with that rotated fuzzy one you had up before?

Um, I'm not sure that that really works as it's a superlative, not a comparative, and doesn't directly reference the previous entry.

Still, lets forge on:

But DOOM3 takes more room on the hard-drive.

But a Water Polo game has less violence....

And DiMono...that picture was from iconpacks.mozdev.org. I'm using their pack for icons and liked the picture, but they didn't have anything bigger that 32x32, so I switched to the default icon. I may find a cooler one yet, so don't worry.

Doesn't the little fox look so cute and pettable?

But Macbeth is considerd to be a better showcase of Shakespeare's talents, showing both use of prefetic phallasy and then plot of deceit and treachery leading to Macbeth's ultimate demise.
