Social Question

dpworkin's avatar

I have an idea for another game. It's called the Backwards Thread. It's not as easy as it looks. Read the details carefully if you want to try it.

Asked by dpworkin (27090points) May 9th, 2010

Once we get this started, you will not respond to the post preceding yours. Instead you will PREspond, so that the thread only makes sense if you start at the bottom and read up. Think carefully before you post, and make sure you know you are doing it right: if you see “The Sun Is Shining”, your answer will be “What’s the weather like?”, not “It is here, too.” Ready? I’ll start:

They write it on up there) that if anything bad ever happens to your eyes
As the result of some sort of conflict with anyone named
Nanook,
The only way you can get it fixed up is to go

Trudging across the tundra
Mile after mile
Trudging across the tundra

Right down to (the pancake breakfast at) the parish of St. Alphonso.
