Something different. Saw this on a blog, there it was call The-Sauras. Here's how it goes----take an ordinary line and turn it into a descriptive line. Sound easy?

Example: the red dress
Description: the deep crimson silk gown

Example: the green stem
Descripton: the fertile olive colored branch

So the first person would give the line and the next person would give the decription--then leave a new line and so on. Make sense? Let's start!

Line: her lazy walk

The tinder-dry undergrowth beneath the towering pines instantly exploded into a fiery furnace of Biblical proportion, engulfing the hapless hiker whose steel-tipped walking stick struck a spark upon the stony path.

Line: the soup kitchen

Poised to hurtle toward infinity, perched atop billions of dollars of technology supplied by the low bidder, the astronaut mumbled a brief but fervent prayer: "Please, God, don't let me f*ck up!"

Surrounded by the sensory delights of the gentle breeze and the afternoon sun filtering through the canopy of multicolored leaves, he strolled across the expanse of the well-manicured lawn until he came to a white marble statue.

Next Line: Waiting in line.
