    Do you call this nonsense giving birth?

    "As a tribute to skeeter, innovative blogger and top-rated chess player, we are introducing a brand new
    General Forum word game -- The Wheelbarrow Game.

    To play, you must respond to the previous post simply by posting the word wheelbarrow. The game
    proceeds in the same way, continuously, ad infinitum. In fairness to others, we ask that you refrain
    from posting any non-wheelbarrow words (e.g., ennui, intrigue, mashed potatoes).

    Our objective is a listing in the Guinness Book of World Records, and to have fun at the same time."

    Thread 141269

    Wow! What a highly successful contribution to this forum. We look forward to your next creative
    Guinness Book of World Records thread. The RHP General Forum itself will thank you. -Bob

    Wrong again, Bobby. My last thread was born on August 27 of this year, my birthday.

    As I've explained more than once, the 2011 Wheelbarrow Game was launched to distract
    skeeter and her band of renegades from disrupting the Word Association Game. There
    was no ulterior motive and no agenda other than that. And it worked.

    FYI, I posted the following on Jan. 8, 2012:

    The Wheelbarrow Game was launched in August to distract skeeter from spamming the Word Association Game, a thread popular with a small but devoted group of word fans. Skeeter had threatened to mobilize her minions to post the word wheelbarrow repeatedly in an effort to undermine the WAG thread. In that sense, the Wheelbarrow Game was a success.. but now skeeter is gone. In view of her untimely departure, I thought it would be appropriate to retire the Wheelbarrow Game as well.

    If you want to start a new one.. feel free.

    Is your real first name Bobby? I ask this question in the interests of entertainment.

    Why aren't there more emoticons to choose from? The selection seems to be somewhat limited. :'(
