I'm going to add a twist to the scrabble game. Here are the rules:
1. You can only change one letter for each word.
2. You can't add any more letters or words.
3. ENGLISH only.
4. The words have to go well together.

I'll start: four hours

What happens? Aborted ?

Can we reverse the word order? If so, I submit

house tour

You have to construct two words?

You can change one alphabet each only to each letter?

Must the two (2) separate words have to make two separate words that make sense.

Can you jumble up the alphabets of two words, "house tour" to construct two new words, 4 letters/5 letters or 5 letters/4 letters ?

If the above rules permit, let us begin a new game
with the commencing words, "house tour".

@ skoobdo so are you! By the way, I like sake :)

Jane's leaf

AllyBally'

Is the taste of sake, Japanese's rice wine good to the tasting buds ? Can a person be easily "tipsy" after drinking? No wonder, you liked "everything and
anything" about Japanese culture. Can you read and write Japanese language? Japanese culture is unique
in the sense of "patience and time" taken to reach the acceptable levels of satisfaction and appreciation.
Japanese flower arrangement, tea ceremony, kimono-dressing up and other known cultural or ritual practices are the examples of their intricate undertakings.

Next phrase:

From: Jane's leaf (What is exactly Jane's leaf ? , I am curious. )

To: fear Janet

flat beaks

# skoobdo The taste for sake arrived long before the interest in Japan and its culture, but then
that would be expected from someone who doesn't mind drinking ouzo and arak.
I am completely unable to read or speak japanese but then have never thought of learning the language for now.
The interest in Japan comes via the martial arts.

late break

"arak" is an Arabic for toxicated liquors.
What is the nature of "ouzo"?
"Cherry trees with their "pinkish" flowers of many
variations of "pink" color reminds me of "Japan".
Martial arts such as judo,karate,taekwando ,do these form of "self-defence" arts originated from Japan, maybe from Korea and elsewhere in Asia ?

Wiadomość zmieniona przez autora, wrz 11, 2009, 4:12am.

game starts from
" late break"

new phrase constructed:

(f)reak (d)ate

a "weirdo" or "nerd" date (it can be "guy" or "gal".)

Arak is a clear, colourless, unsweetened aniseed-flavoured distilled alcoholic drink. Similar to ouzo (Greece), sambuca (Italy), pastis(France). I am definitely thinking of my holidays :)

To be more precise my interest is in japanese martial arts (budo).
From Japan we can also have apart from judo and karate - jujutsu, ninjitsu, kendo, aikido, iaido.
