It's a pretty neat game for passing the time on long, lonley bus rides, and I think it'll work pretty well in dxp as well. It goes like this: one poster chooses two disparate things and then the next poster tries to connect them using a chain of fairly obvious associations.

Example:
Lamp->France:
Lamp->genie->Aladdin->monkey->cheese-eating surrender monkeys->the French->France.

Try to avoid making unnecessary abstractions. Horse->animal isn't very good, but horse->saddle is better.

We'll start with: frisbee->lightning.

What funny business? There's a bull in Guernica, as any man with a well-rounded education should know. It's supposed to make the viewer realize it's Spain or something. Maybe just a proto-add-placement courtesy of redball. I dunno.

Black Bart is a pirate. A Welsh pirate, if you can bend your mind around that(I thought they couldn't carry sheep on those 18-th century ships for long periods of time?).
