Telephone Fictionary

[blimix]

Last night, we invented Telephone Fictionary. The mechanics are just like Telephone Oracle, but instead of questions and answers, you alternate words and definitions, mostly made up or obscure. (The mechanics: You pass the papers around the table, folding them so that the next person can see only what you wrote.)

You forgot to mention that the "we" who invented Telephone Fictionary were you, me, Dan, and Tracy. It was Tracy's idea, I think.
