The whole point of this blog is to play a little word-association game (an idea I borrowed from The Thinklings). This will be the sole post on this site. All the action will be in the comment thread which I'm hoping will never end. I will start by putting a word in the comments and you just make an association with that word. The next commenter does the same thing and so on and so on. Of course this sounds like a stupid idea unless you really like words, or you really like stupid ideas. So check the comment thread and leave your two cents.
