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.

Next three strays? Stalling whim? You did not just compare my marksmanship to the fucking Storm Troopers from fucking Star Wars, alright? I shoot, I score. Bar none.

Again, if you want to see nuns, go to church. The Catholic church nearby.

Loot them, not hack them? Is this a video game, or a crime?

Spiky bears and custard mice? Ah, you must be living near the Wizard’s Forest (property of the Wizard, of course). That’s where he sets all his magical experiments free. Though I’m pretty sure it’s the mice who are covered in spikes and the bears who are made of custard…

Oh, and watch out for the giant mosquitoes with arms

If there are flying Cheetos with charms, I’d better break them so I can make my charm necklace.
