The Mishearing Game

Go To

A sort of forum equivalent to "Telephone," except as an endless conversation.

It goes like this: Person A will post a phrase, then Person B else will create a reasonable "mishearing" of the phrase and respond to that corrupted phrase (or part of it). Then Person C will corrupt and respond to Person B's response. For example:

A: I really like forum games.
B: You really like foreign names? Foreign to what country, exactly?
C: Pour into butt county? That sounds widely unsanitary!
D: Bat sounds might be unplanetary? If they're not on a planet, where are the bats making sounds?

...And so on and so forth. I'll begin with this phrase:

Let's begin the mishearing game!

[down]If you wanna rename it "The Mondegreen Game" I am not opposed to that at all. I just forgot that name existed.

Mommy did that at the speed of Mew? I mean, considering how each of Mew's base stats is 100...

Bobby did that at the mean of 50? Mathematics is getting more and more confusing every day.

Hey hey, take it easy fellas, the mob said it was a choice to whack louts like a painting of Sori. We wouldn't want to force their hand for something even worse...

Mosaic of Sori? Wasn't it a painting?
