Last Word First

In the mood for a game?

Here's one we played on an astronomy forum...

All you do is create a sentence using the last word of the previous sentence as the first word of yours.

Here goes:

Christians are a dime a dozen; atheists are few and far between.

You start one beginning with Between.

Time and time again, I waste

Time and time again, I waste my time arguing with theists.

Our revels now are ended. These our actors, | As I foretold you, were all spirits, and | Are melted into air, into thin air; | And, like the baseless fabric of this vision, | The cloud-capped towers, the gorgeous palaces, | The solemn temples, the great globe itself, - Yea, all which it inherit, shall dissolve, | And, like this insubstantial pageant faded, | Leave not a rack behind. We are such stuff | As dreams are made on, and our little life | Is rounded with a sleep. - Shakespeare

You can't start a grammatically correct sentence with a singular non-proper noun which is not used as a verb or adjective, such as thing.

 

(Probably, anyway.)

 

cj, you totally cheated. Sticking out tongue

It's not so easy to make a grammatically correct sentence beginning with a past tense verb.

Probably, as Persistent or stubborn is technically not a complete sentance. The last word now appears to be syntactique which I think is syntax in English?

You're right the only rule is the word has to start the sentance and someone has used it.

I don't speak French only English and Spanish and I couldn't get a good translation to either one online for some reason.
