Let's play Hangman! →[More:]
I started this in my random thread below, but that one is wrapping up, so we're starting again. As an FPP this time!

It just occurred to me that that may look funny to those poor souls running 800x600. Should've used non-breaking spaces. Blast. Sorry. Also, get a better monitor, n00b!

Agro! I had T, then saw yours on preview. Now you have M up there already? Sheesh.

Well screw it, I am gonna say S now.

There was an old man on Nantucket?

(or maybe on Nantucket or of Nantucket...either way it's the start of a naughty limerick, or as ethylene would say....DIRTY!)

I can't do this.
I'm too busy placing my money in buckets.

Hold your guesses! Let sciurus catch up :)
posted by mike9322 15 May | 13:06
Should I accept E and T before moving on? The guesses might have changed after richat's Z?
posted by sciurus 15 May | 13:08
richat's 'Z' doesn't dissaude me from guessing 'T.' Neither will finding out that there's no 'E.' If there is, however, an 'E,' I'd like to reconsider the 'T.'
posted by box 15 May | 13:14
Good point, sciurus. Let's axe the E & T and take them one guess at a time. I promise to be a better previewer in the future.

Go squirrel!

I would have just made his body longer and longer until y'all got it anyway.

Make the guess, box! You deserve it.
posted by mike9322 15 May | 13:29
Anybody else want to take a shot at it after box finishes off sciurus?

Tip: If you're having trouble with the server stripping out your whitespace, use non-breaking spaces.   is your friend.

If no one steps up before 2:40 Eastern, I'll do another one.
