I Went Shopping And I Bought An Apple

I went shopping and I bought an apple, a bus ticket, and some celery. (This game perhaps less challenging in the world of CTRL-C CTRL-V)

I went shopping and I bought an apple, a bus ticket, and some celery and a goat which i promptly buggered.

I went shopping and I bought an apple, a bus ticket, some celery and an ostritch feather. (But will another poster get in there first?)

Damn Lixi, damn. This versoin is challenging in terms of reaction times rather than memory.

― Anna, Tuesday, 19 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Oh fuck it.

― Jonnie, Tuesday, 19 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Is Tom the only one round here who knows the alphabet?

― Emma, Tuesday, 19 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I'd forgotten that part of the game

― Anna, Tuesday, 19 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Oh, yeh. whoops. can we start again? I went shopping and I bought an apple and a bus ticket and some celery and a demented dromedary.

Christ on a bike. Young people today.

WHAT IS HAPPENING IN OUR SCHOOLS. CRISIS.

― Alan Trewartha, Tuesday, 19 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Well. Tom should have outlined the rules beforehand, possibly setting up a small website we could refer to. What's wrong with our schools is children are getting more and more facety.

― Alix, Tuesday, 19 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I'm sorry I thought the rules would be plain from the clever way I chose three things which began with A, then B, then C. This thread has turned me Tory.

― Tom, Tuesday, 19 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

This is hilarious.

Is the absence of "n" a comment on N.'s absence this week?

― Jeff W, Tuesday, 19 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Look! DG's kidnapped him.

― Graham, Tuesday, 19 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I thought phalangists were spelt with an F?

look will someone get past S so I can buy a Thai bar girl, I've got things to do!

― chris, Tuesday, 19 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Yes yes! It is a wry comment on Mr Dastoor's absence!

[Oops, forgot N. It is a crap letter anyway.]

― DG, Tuesday, 19 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

DG has to drink! Now, do we continue from N or start over?

― Dan Perry, Tuesday, 19 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I bet you guys are crap at card games.

― Tracer Hand, Tuesday, 19 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Dan!! Grrrr....

― Mitch Lastnamewithheld, Tuesday, 19 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

i don;t think i have to worry about saying things like wine of glass all the time anymore, after seeing this.

― fran, Tuesday, 19 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

We don't have to start over. Coz I say so. Which means..........

Your version of the game totally sucks. It shouldn't be alphabetical at all - that makes it far too easy to remember. Also, it's better with "I packed my bag to Paris and in it I put..."

― N., Thursday, 21 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I think the game Tom was trying to play was developed WITH THE SOLE PURPOSE of helping children learn the alphabet. Hence the importance of it being alphabetical.

― Emma, Thursday, 21 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

But we all know the alphabet now. What's the point?

― N., Thursday, 21 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

And we can scroll up the thread so it's not even a memory test. Doubly what's the point?

(I hope this doesn't kick off another Nick existential crisis).

― Emma, Thursday, 21 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Nick's existential crises --> threads about BRAS.

― Dan Perry, Thursday, 21 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Or maybe he should just go and buy a br... Oh, what's the point?
