Longshot Word Games, Part 1:

A Good Idea Is Like A Family Pet Because …

Here’s a bite sized version of what we can do with collaborative word games. Please help us make the next few rounds bigger and better. (For how to help, see below) We asked a bunch of random people — hailing from NYC, Spain, Sweden, and someplace in Canada Alex forgot to ask about, and more — to complete the sentence:

“A good idea is like a family pet because …”

Ask a random question, get a creative answer, that’s what we always say.

HOW TO HELP

1) If you have a mic, go outside to a public place and ask a few friendly folks these questions: - Tell me about the most creative thing you’ve done this week? - Failure is like the ocean because … - If at first you don’t succeed … [ANYTHING BUT TRY TRY AGAIN]

2) Answer the questions yourself Record directly to our drop-box here. Say your name and where you are from and then say the sentences above with our beginning and your ending.

Thanks!
