Add 4 Words game there.

That's a good quick challenge.

If you don't play it the way me and Geebles do.

The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts.

Yeah, that's fun. We used to do it where someone would write the beginning of a sentence on the board and we'd have to start with that and then we'd have five minutes to write, and at the end of the five minutes you pass the story to the left and write on the next person's story for five minutes, etc. It'd be a little different on here, of course, but that'd be fun!

You know we could arrange this... it'd take a little work and honesty on our parts, but we could do it.

Oh, we used to do that in fourth grade, DarkWaltz. Only we'd do it orally, because we all wrote about two and a half words per hour. Except me, but I also wrote "infinitely small" and really messy. XD They all wrote giant, wobbly letters. Tyler still does. *tsk tsk*
