This is an "idear" that came to me while walking my dog today.  :)  It's a "complete the thought" game involving two people.  I think it could be hilarious, knowing the collection of great minds we have in this community!  :D

Ok, here's how it goes.  It's called:

"You know it's time to ______ when ______."

Person #1 starts the sentence and fills in the first blank.  For example, You know it's time to spend fewer hours on your computer...

Then the next poster fills in the second blank, completing the sentence.  For example, ...when you refer to going to the bathroom as downloading.  Then he/she starts the sentence again, filling in the first blank, the next poster completes the second blank, and so on and so forth.

Make sense?

Then tally-ho, and away we go!  Have fun, everyone!  :)

I'll start:

You know it's time to clean out your freezer...

When you open it up, and you can't identify anything you put in there!

You know it's time to put Christmas decorations away...

When you open it up, and you can't identify anything you put in there!

You know it's time to put Christmas decorations away...


when It's already the middle of March.

^^ Hey Howard!  You forgot to start off a new sentence!  ;)

EDIT:  Ok, time's up!  He's offline, now, I see.
