Who wants to play the alphabetic, thought-provoking, five-worded, thing game?

Asked by erichw1504 (26453points) November 4th, 2010

THE GAME:
– Name a one-worded noun, but it has to be a thing NOT a person or place
– Give a brief, five-word sentence about your thing

THE RULES:
– The first letter of your thing must be next alphabetically to the previous answer
– The five-word description must relate to the thing, it can be a description, how you use it, something funny about it, etc…
– Try not to repeat previous answers
– Do not answer twice in a row
– When we reach z start back at A
– If you can’t do Q or x then just skip that letter

Example:
Relish – I like it on hotdogs
