ABC game

[Aerows]

in this game, you name a famous person.

The famous person goes alphabetically. A is for Adele, for example.

Ex. You state their name, and the person who answers after you tells you what they are famous for (singer) and proceeds to the next letter. Bill Clinton. politician.

I'll start. Amelia E.

1. Earhart

Bob C

[Aerows]

2. I was hoping for a name

that starts with B and people have to guess why they are being brought up.

With yours, "Being a lousy navigator" could actually be a good "M" crashed a shit load of planes.

Then again, "B" not being able to find his way back to the National Guard post would be a good example of "B".


Edit: Okay that was a damn good one. I don't know how to open with a remark about what he did.

Damn. I might as well shut this down.

4. No..I'm sorry..I fixed it.

[Aerows]

6. It's just a game

I just like to learn what other people know and can share about history.

We have some well-learned and smart people here on DU, so that's why I wanted to play the alphabet game.

[Aerows]

10. You should do D

since we got discombobulated at the start of the game, you won B

3. Playing a pow in ww2

Charlie B

[Aerows]

5. See, that is what I wanted out of this thread

People that know a heck of a lot about things that I don't, but we can all play together and learn something.

And I hope someone that knows the answer will chime in, and then they can ask their question.

8. I don't know if I responded the way you intended

I interpreted Bob C as Bob Crane, the actor who played Hogan in Hogan's Heroes.
There are a lot of Bob C's so this could be totally wrong.

[Aerows]

9. Nope, you did it!

Now we move on to C. Since you won the round, you ask

[Wounded Bear]

11. Playing in shoot em up action movies (Bronson)

David N.

[Sanity Claws]

12. I like your answer better than mine

I was thinking of Charlie Brown but Charles Bronson is definitely more interesting.

[Wounded Bear]

13. Well mine should be easy...

if you're over 40, that is.

17. Debonair British actor (David Niven).

E Elizabeth T.

[Aerows]

7. Thanks for playing along

I had no idea what was the answer to that one.

[Aerows]

14. This didn't turn out as well as I thought it would.

LOL.

I officially flunk "starting a DU game thread."

[BlueJazz]

15. Don't feel too bad. I started a fairly cerebral thread once and (somehow) it got turned into..

"What color are your cat's eyes"

[Aerows]

16. I could see that happening

Sometimes, the threads just unravel themselves no matter how hard you try to keep them together

Oh well!

18. I continued from D to E: (see above)

I think I got it now.
