15 Jan 00 - 03:55 PM (#163431) Subject: Figure this Out ! From: Lonesome EJ Here's a nifty little game called "In other Words." Take a well-known Folk or Blues song title, like Blowin' in the Wind, and put it in other words ie: "Propelled through the Atmosphere by Powerful Air Currents". The correct guesser presents the next IOW. I'll start- "Martial contest Taking Place in Randy Newman's Hometown" |
