Basically I type a word and a category and the next person must type a word that starts with the last letter of the word I used and has to be within the category I used(so if the category is fruit it has to be a fruit). Then s/he'll give a category for the next person as well. K?

AA your suppose to use words that start with the last letter of the word from the person before you. In this case since Numitor ends with R you had to use a word the begins with R. Anyhow... I would continue but I don't really know any romantic poets... whose name begins with H :\

sido I wonder if you have seen the most recent x-men? days of future past? I thought it was fantastic.
that was fun, I had to grab my "stalking the healthful herbs" book by euell gibbons, circa 1973 to hunt up an answer for that.
and im settling on:
elecampane
"this relative of the lowly daisy is a strikingly handsome plant...the ancient greeks and romans valued elecampane not only as an efficacious medicine, but also as a culinary herb and condiment. even poets were acquainted with it..."
pretty neat! I half think I have this growing around my pond!

I did watch it. It's not my favorite in the X-Men franchise, but I certainly found it entertaining. I have been a fan of X-men since childhood. I loved watching the cartoon (the 1990's one) and used to hum the tune all day long :D I was fond of Cyclops back then, but ever since the movies came out, I've been a fan of Wolverine :)

Good to see you here again bounty :) I really liked the 1st and 2nd movies. The first one especially, 'cos it was the first movie I watched at a movie theater.

bounty
05-02-2015, 08:32 AM
why thank you sido!
I liked the first movies too for the sheer sake of being more deeply introduced to characters I was only otherwise vaguely associated with. I hadn't followed x-men really when I was a kid.
if you are a star trek fan, you might be interested in knowing there are a couple of star trek novels where the trek universe and the x-men universe overlap, and the characters know and interact with each other. I read one a while ago and thoroughly enjoyed it. it was funny when captain picard and Charles Xavier met and commented on a similarity in appearance.
ah now smarties---there are two smarties out there, the little round colored sugar discs that come in a small plastic wrapping, and the candy coated chocolate ones that are kinda like an alternate version of m&m's. but since you mention red, you must mean the chocolate ones right? I remember liking those a lot, but they are hard to come by in America. are you in England I wonder? I understand they are more common there?
oh totally stegosaurus! I think I might have even had a little plastic one of him when I was little.
