This is a forum version of a Scouting game I learned years ago. At weekly troop meetings, the scouts form up in a circle and the Troop Leader whispers a silly line to the scout at his/her left. That scout repeats the whisper to his/her left, so on and so on until the line comes to the scout at the Leader's right and is spoken out loud. The Leader speaks the original line, and -- typically -- there is a great deal of laughter at the difference between the two.
The rules below are altered to fit the format of a forum.
This is not a competition, so there is no reason to cheat!
Rules:
I don't know if this will be as fun in a forum as it is hilarious at a scouting event, but let's find out. Occasionally, if I think the game is becoming stale, I will put up another line to have fun with.
Okay, I'll start:
On the thirteenth day of Christmas, my blue love said to me. Goldilocks and the three pigs stole Valentines Day from the oompa loompas, and gave my brother in law's second cousin a noogie on his red head.

This is not a competition, so there is no reason to cheat!
Rules:
- Go to the last post.
- Read it ONCE and ONLY once. Read carefully.
- Immediately select the Post Reply link and retype it ... without looking back at the post you are supposed to be repeating.
- Sometimes, two people will be writing and posting at the same time and their replies will leap frog one another. If that happens, the next person to join the game should use the last post, as always.
- If you are inclined to play more than once, please wait several turns so that the reply you posted earlier does not stick in your mind and influence your next post.
- Please, do not intentionally distort the line. That's as meaningless as cheating.
