Hot Consonants!

[mathgrant]

[obligatory disclaimer]BraveHat invented this game, not me. If you hate the game, kill him, not me.[/ob disc]

The game is started with a [edit]grammatically correct[/edit] sentence and a consonant.

The next person must rephrase that sentence to avoid using that consonant. He must then add a new sentence that also lacks the consonant, and then add another consonant.

The NEXT person rephrases THAT sentence, avoiding BOTH consonants, and then adds a NEW sentence and a NEW consonant, while again avoiding the hot consonants.

When someone breaks the rules by using one of these consonants, the last person to make a proper post wins. The error must be pointed out before another post is added for them to lose.

Example:
I won in a game of Magic: The Gathering. (N)
I avoided a loss as I played a collectible card game by Wizards of the Coast.

It takes two to make a quarrel. (NT)
A pair is required for a quarrel. (Yes, repeating words is allowed.)

etc.

Ready?

I like mozzeralla on my pizza. (Z)

ok how about

I like mozzeralla on my pizza. (Z)

...yay mathgrant wins...that was fun.
Let's play again.

[The Cruciverbalist]

Right. I think I'll play for real, if you don't mind.

I like mozzarella on my pizza. (Z)
I enjoy eating round, flat sheets of bread with tomato sauce and Italian cheese.

Pepperoni also goes well with pizza. (ZP)

[Sparticus]

Note: The sentence you make up can't contain any of the previous forbidden letters. But I'll continue, anyway.

Pepperoni also goes well with pizza. (ZP)
Thin slices of sausage also go well round, flat sheets of bread with tomato sauce.

After that, I content myself with a tasty treat. (ZPT)

In my dice bag, I've got dice you've never even heard of. I have a d5, d7, d14, d16...I think I've even got a d1.

Food finished, I enjoy a delicious snack.

Mouth dry, I crawl for an ice cold coke. (ZPTC)

I will consider Sparticus the winner.

One million dollars can buy a Lincoln Town Car. (L)

You can get some famous car if you pay with five hundred thousand, and another five hundred thousand, basic american currency units.
I enjoy videogames rated T (for teen).(LT)

[mathgrant]

I enjoy games made for kids who have as many years as in a covey.

Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers. (LTSMP)

[kevinatilusa]

An ocarina wunderkind (who never denied once, once, and once again) grabbed a bunch of briny, habanero food (if he had a year of age for each ounce he picked, he'd be driving in Arizona or Georgia).

Making sentences lacking certain consonants often proves frustrating (LTSMPG)

[Sparticus]

Making sentences lacking certain consonants often proves frustrating (LTSMPG)

I think Qaqaq won this one.

Qaqaq only wins because kevinatlusa didn't point out this error. I'll amend the rules.

I'll start the next game, but next time ANYONE should feel free to start.

Sixty xenophobics played saxophones. (X)

[Qaqaq]

Ah, OK. I think Kevin... and I both made the same error, forgetting that the newly created sentence had to also abide by the letter rules. For some reason it's easy to forget that part.

[Werebear]

Sixty xenophobics played saxophones. (X)

Three score alien haters played brass instruments.

Italian food can produce H₂O in the oral cavity of the author.

I guess H20 can be water w/out violating the rules

During the afternoon, I thought that thirty trillion people on the earth think trench warfare can be a truly terrible thing. (XSMT)

[Zot]

Beyond noon I pondered 3*10¹⁰people on land-ball believe war waged in a deep furrough may be bad.

I play pinball do you play pinball? (XSMTP)

[eixdeuce]

Um...I believe the word is furrow. On the other hand, I have no idea what a furrough is. Anyone care to enlighten? Also, Zot seems to have offered two different sentences:

I play pinball.
Do you play pinball?

I believe 30 trillion = 3.0x10¹³ and that "may be bad."

For the sake of the game and because I want to see how far this can go, let us pretend that Zot posted the following:

Beyond noon I pondered, 3*10¹³ people, who are on a large rock circling a large ball of H and He (1 AU away), believe war waged in a deep furrow can be awful.
Do you play pinball? (XSMTP)

[Werebear]

Do you play pinball? (XSMTP)
Do you enjoy a good round of Hurricane, or F-14, or Cyclone, or any varied "Ag ball fun" found in an arcade?

I like lying down, lolling around, loving life like I will, licking a lolly. (XSMTPL)

that one was a tough one, eixdeuce! I couldn't say game, table, silver, bumpers, score, or anything else related to pinball...

[Sparticus]

I like lying down, lolling around, loving life like I will, licking a lolly. (XSMTPL)
I enjoy goofing around when on a ground, adoring being here how I do, grazing a cane-origin hard candy on a rod on bud organ of owner.

Whew! That was a toughie!

How can one nook ever be found near a cranny? (XSMTPLN)

[Werebear]

How can one nook ever be found near a cranny? (XSMTPLN)

Howfore, I query - a cave be viewed by a crack?

I (Werebear) worry - how do I drive? (XSMTPLNR)

[eixdeuce]

I worry - how do I drive? (XSMTPLNR)

I chafe - how do I guide a VW Bug?

At this point, I'm having more trouble making my own sentence...so give me some time to think about it. <----this is not my sentence.

But I am tempted to go along the lines of

Cvccv.... hehe!

[Werebear]

hey! you were supposed to reference me, not you! *Grin* I had trouble coming up with that sentence - it took me longer than rewriting yours!

[eixdeuce]

Then I shall rephrase simply for your contentment Werebear

Guy above chafed - how do I guide VW Bug? (XSMTPLNR)

[eixdeuce]

A Good god gave a goofy guy, Yogi, a gay dog. (XSMTPLNRG)

Good luck and God Bless

[eixdeuce]

Lepton, I believe you said that backwards, but point taken. I forgot that those confounded Brits keep screwing up English - and it's their own damn language, you'd think they'd know betta (They don't put an 'r' at the end of that word right??)
However, I thought a British trillion was 10¹⁸


On another note, Good should not be capitalized...that was a typo.

[mathgrant]

1,000,000,000 is a billion.

It takes the clock about 32 years to tick off one billion seconds. One billion.

[Sparticus]

A good god gave a goofy guy, Yogi, a gay dog. (XSMTPLNRG)
Jehovah ceded above kooky jock a joyed bow-wow.

Another sentence in a moment...

[Sparticus]

Aye, odd day, you yucky bay; I buoy away. (XSMTPLNRGY)

[eixdeuce]

Um... I don't know what all that means. Is that english?

[eixdeuce]

Aye, odd day, you yucky bay; I buoy away. (XSMTPLNRGY)
OK, odd 1/7 of a week, (ewww) cove; I bob off.

new sentence may take a while

[Quickies I]

mathgrant,

If Y is used as a vowel, is it allowed in a sentence even though it can not be used as a consonant?

[mathgrant]

I think not, but you may if everyone else agrees.
