jabberwacky: california

I’m declaring today a play day. It’s been a while since we’ve had one of those at the Grit. So let’s play some Jabberwacky.

Just write the first word or phrase that comes to mind when you read the comment above yours.

That’s it. Easy, right?

Come back and add to the mix as often as you’d like.

In honor of my travels today, the starter word is…

California.

jabberwacky: snow

I could use some weekend entertainment, and I thought you might enjoy some too. So how ’bout we Jabberwacky? It’s easy, I promise.

Just write the first word or phrase that comes to mind when you read the comment directly above yours.

Feel free to chime in as often as you’d like between now and Monday morning.

Ready?

The first word is… snow.

jabberwacky: medical malpractice

Ready to Jabberwacky?

  • Post the first word or phrase that comes to mind when you read the word above yours.
  • You can challenge a commenter to explain the connection in their brain when they wrote their word. (If you know your word choice won’t make sense to others, please take time to explain it.)
  • I’m writing an extra bullet point of jibberish to see if anyone even bothers to read the instructions anymore!
  • The last word when I close comments will be the starter word next time.


Alrighty then!

Starter phrase: medical malpractice (thanks to Tam)

jabberwacky: heidi

It’s Jabberwacky time! Are you ready?

jabberwacky: beautiful

Since we haven’t Jabberwackyed in a while, here’s a refresher on how this works.

  • Post the first word or phrase that comes to mind when you read the word above yours in the comments.

  • Come back and add to the mix as often as you’d like.

  • You can challenge the preceding commenter to explain if you don’t understand the connection they made when they wrote their word. (If you know your word choice won’t make sense to others, take time to explain it.)

  • The last word when I close comments will be the first word next time.



Starter word: beautiful (compliments of Melissita over at Nature Girl)

jabberwacky: kevin costner

Niel’s in South Africa. I’m in America. The ocean between us is giving me a pouty lip at the moment. I miss my man.

I’m in Wisconsin with a friend (which is wonderful). But I don’t have internet access. So I’m going to be AWOL for a while.

I figured I’d leave you guys to play in the comments while I’m away.

So far, we’ve Jabberwackyed from Africa to banana splits to Kevin Costner. Let’s see where we go from here.

In case you’re new to this, here’s how it goes:

  • Post the first word or phrase that comes to mind when you read the word above yours in the comments.
  • Come back and add to the mix as often as you’d like.
  • You can challenge the preceding commenter to explain if you don’t understand the connection they made when they wrote their word. (If you know your word choice won’t make sense to others, take time to explain it.)
  • The last word when I close comments will be the first word next time.



Starter word: Kevin Costner

jabberwacky: banana splits

I’ll be traveling for the next 30 hours straight; I know you’re jealous.

In the meantime, why don’t you guys keep yourselves occupied with a little wordplay.

Rules:

  • Post the first word or phrase that comes to mind when you read the word above yours in the comments.
  • Come back and add to the mix as often as you’d like.
  • You can challenge the preceding commenter to explain if you don’t understand the connection they made when they wrote their word. (If you know your word choice won’t make sense to others, take time to explain it.)
  • The last word when I close comments will be the first word next time.

Last time we started with Africa and ended with banana splits. Let’s see what happens this round!

Starter word: banana splits

jabberwacky: africa

Let’s try a little somethin’ somethin’…

Post the first word that comes to mind when you read the word above yours in the comments. The last word when I close comments will be the first word next time.

Easy-peasy, eh? (You’re welcome to comment more than once… Invited to, actually!)
