There was a man who saw A flying object... was it a witch with yellow bloomers and purple stockings clinging to her skinny legs as they waggled wildly in the wind, or was it Harry Potter on another mission to solve a riddle. Whatever it was, my cat turned bright green with envy and attacked my broom with gusto. Cursing like a trooper he leaped up rushed outside, and began chasing the sparkling silver streamers hanging down from the helicopter that was hovering overhead. The helicopter flew off, the cat attached, waggling wildly, screaming "what the jolly hockeysticks is going on here!" So off he flew into the sky... Freezing cold, with icicles dripping off everything, and as the moon came out and cast an eerie glow over this weird scene a flame coloured balloon could be seen racing across the sky, people were pointing with their umbrellas and walking sticks, crying out loudly, watch out for little green men and black cats cos Mars has started invading earth ... Dear oh dear, whatever next...maybe
they have come to teach us
some magical new game that we
can play while observing their strange
preoccupation with anything smelling of peppermint,
so all the little people planted
toothpaste tubes in every flavour. Unfortunately,
the greenies had no teeth so
many moons ago, they'd learned to
live without food, but they could
never survive if they didn't suck
rotten eggs like the gremlins taught.

Hey bobbity I wonder if we should change the format slightly. Instead of 6 words, how about say 3. I'm thinking that maybe the others might join in if it wasn't too taxing trying to figure out too many words. Just a thought. I've quite enjoyed playing this game too and it seems a shame to close it. I think we need to start a totally new game if we change the number of words as it'll be too confusing using this thread. What do you think?

lets try it Fern..so up to you to start a new thread...mind you we would have to be cunning and choose our words well, otherwise some might be forever saying. "and as well'"..maybe call the new thread "three words only" ?????
