HipBone for a sampler

sevans105 · 06-11-2013, 09:46 AM

HipBone is a fun game I play with my my kids. The name comes from the old song, "the leg bone is connected to the hip bone, the hip bone's connected to the".

Rules are simple. A topic is introduced and everyone playing tries to come up with a linking Idea.

Ideas can take the form of text, sound, or image: a quote, an equation, a musical theme, a video clip, or a photo or graphic are all acceptable.
A link can be any form of association - similarity, opposition, cause-and-effect, metaphor.

The initial topic has nothing to do with your ideas. It is simply a starting point. Each post simply needs to relate somehow to the previous post. Example: horse, centaur, center, zen, Buddhism, peace, pizza, Italy...etc.

I'll run it for a week. So, this ends 11:59 PM on Tuesday the 18th. Winner will be the one with the most links. Prize will be whatever I can fit in a USPS flat rate box.

I'm gonna play too...cuz it's fun, but my count won't "count". Because I'm lazy, please add your running count to your post.

Ready, go!

Initial topic: Michaelangelo's statue of David

Edit: quote the previous Idea in your post so the linkage is obvious-er.

Because I'm the moderator and its my damn contest, I reserve the right to give an extra point to ideas that are really funny/thought provoking/just cause I like it.

FWIW... when you look at the forum index, if you click the number seen in the replies column for any given thread, it will pop up a list of all the participants in a thread and how many posts each has made to it.

Ok. New Kevin rule. No linking off of your own links. Those 6 will count, but take turns please.
