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.

I do some cleanup and then I enjoy shows you probably think are cringe.

You're masticating on seedy ropes when you should be booing a loony berk? I thought you were more of a ginseng guy.

I agree, it's very sad, but I wouldn't call it "Mallowlicious". What does that mean?

I thought cannabis was a plant, and therefore can not be fed, but hey, maybe it's carnivourus.
