This is like mastermind or whatever with words. I have chosen a word and replaced all the letters with blanks. Look, there it is! -------- You have to find out what the word is. In order to do that you must post a word with the same number...
Yeah, so I was reading *Daniel Deronda* by the notoriously ugly George Eliot (according to Virginia Woolf and Henry James). James was not far off when, I think he applied the words "loose baggy monsters" to Eliot's novels. And he was such a bitchy...

OK, when chate flatlines, we sometimes get into this thing where one person posts a random (usually) 4-letter word, the the next poster changes one letter (and one letter only) to create a new word. This thread might sink like a stone, but eh. ...

I have no idea if this post should go here in The Dark Room, in Games and Sports or the Guggenheim. Mods, do as you will. I throw my hands in the air and wave em like I just don't care. You don't have have to post anything to guess, or guess any...

I've tried this before on another message board, let's see if it works here. Try and guess the song from the clue... They're all popular music, from a range of genres. Some I think are easy, others are rather tough. 1. The bucket, we hear, is...
Shamelessly ripped off from a blog I read. Here are the state abbreviations. Start with Alabama, and name a celebrity with the initials AL. Next person goes to the next state, in alphabetical order. I'll start: Annie Leibowitz

If they moved to the SEC or ACC, or even Big 10, what realignment dominoes would that set off?
I'm sure there's one like this already, but I don't see it. Someone can add to my current repertoire of: (i) pretending to get my 100 good-form pushup/presssups in -- meh, my biceps and pecs get enough. It's not that many, but I need them to...

There was a team that had consecutive road games, both on East Coast I believe. The team, the Raiders I believe, stayed on East Coast to prepare for second game. Why don't more teams do this?
