Word Game: The Alphabet Thread

[Lotus666]

A fairly new game this one. Started off not all that long before the forums crashed and burned. So, how it goes is like this. Pick a topic. Then each person names something from that topic. Person who finishes up with the Z gets to toss out the next topic and the first word of such (unless they named the last topic, in which case it's nice to throw it open to another).

Start off easy (ish)...Topic is Names/Brands of Cars...

Alfa Romeo

Kinkajou

http://img213.imageshack.us/img213/3447/pariskingcopyqv9.jpg

I pity da kinkajou! :mrt: :laugh:

From Wikipedia...

The kinkajou (Potos flavus), also known as the honey bear (a name it shares with the sun bear), is a rainforest mammal of the family Procyonidae related to the olingo, ringtail, cacomistle, raccoon, and coati. It is the only member of the genus Potos. Kinkajous may be mistaken for ferrets or monkeys, but are not related. Native to Central America and South America, this arboreal mammal is not an endangered species, though it is seldom seen by people because of its strict nocturnal habits.

[Sil]

That poor poor Kinkajou... Makes me want to cry, being subjected to that evil blond animal.

Next up is the Loon.
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/ef/PacificLoon24.jpg/240px-PacificLoon24.jpg
