Last Word First
In the mood for a game?
Here's one we played on an astronomy forum...
All you do is create a sentence using the last word of the previous sentence as the first word of yours.
Here goes:
Christians are a dime a dozen; atheists are few and far between.
You start one beginning with Between.

Between the ears of a theist, there's little to be found.
Found a nickle the other day.
day and night is the difference in logic between some theists and atheists and i find it funny.
Funny you should say that... I was thinking the same thing just now.
now I am having hot chocolate, it's freaking great.
Great minds think alike
Alike whipped cream on my pie.
(This is a Southern drawal joke - next person can ignore it if you want to)

Pie is not a word you start a sentence with motherfucker.

If man was formed from dirt, why is there still dirt?
Time and time again, I waste my time arguing with theists.
Our revels now are ended. These our actors, | As I foretold you, were all spirits, and | Are melted into air, into thin air; | And, like the baseless fabric of this vision, | The cloud-capped towers, the gorgeous palaces, | The solemn temples, the great globe itself, - Yea, all which it inherit, shall dissolve, | And, like this insubstantial pageant faded, | Leave not a rack behind. We are such stuff | As dreams are made on, and our little life | Is rounded with a sleep. - Shakespeare
Theists are people too
(oh and good work with the "alike" Sandycane
)
Too much of anything can be bad for you.

You can't start a grammatically correct sentence with a singular non-proper noun which is not used as a verb or adjective, such as thing.
(Probably, anyway.)
cj, you totally cheated.
It's not so easy to make a grammatically correct sentence beginning with a past tense verb.
"Found wanting for intelligence, the creationists were denied entrance into the kingdom of heaven."
You have the sexiest legs I have ever seen
(Just for the record, I understand this game as one where you try and make it hard for the others (Like "seen" or "alike"
. If the purpose of the game is coorporation rather than competion please let me know)
Well I was born an original sinner
I was spawned from original sin
And if I had a dollar bill for all the things I've done
There'd be a mountain of money piled up to my chin
Seen with his pants down, the priest found it difficult to make excuses.
Nikolaj, I think we posted at about the same time, so I answered yours.
Mine again:
You can't start a grammatically correct sentence with a singular non-proper noun which is not used as a verb or adjective, such as thing.
Yah, Blake has it right on this one. You can't just ignore stuff and you have to follow the rules of grammar.

Family, friends and good food are what makes a good Xmas.
Xmas is that special time of year.
Year after year Xmas has been used as an abbreviation for Christmas, and was originally derived from the Greek word for Christos, which is ΧΡΙΣΤΟΣ.

club a baby seal, its the right thing to do.
Do atheists really club baby seals and B-B-Q kittens?
Kittens are cute and I'm sure Brian37 will tell us they taste great with BBQ sauce.
Sauce is tasty but it doesn't make you a good writer.
There are no words in English that you can't start a sentence with. You can even start a sentence with a conjunction if you have style.

Crashes happen.
Happen is a colloquial idiom for perhaps.
Perhaps it is time to change my life.
Life is very persistent.

Persistent or stubborn?
Stubborn stains may not come out.

Uso de francés no es probablemente dentro de las reglas. Espera, no hay reglas.
Using French is probably not within the rules. Wait, there are no rules.

Out of his shell is from where Gauche must come.
Syntactique is hereby exposed as a French word -- it was in the closet, now it's out!

If there aren't any rules I guess it doesn't matter. You sound like Yoda.
I think Gauche meant it for my "persistent or stubborn?" contribution. Curse me for using conversational English instead of proofreading it for peer review.
"I do this real moron thing, and it's called thinking. And apparently I'm not a very good American because I like to form my own opinions."

And if I didn't write it like that you'd have busted my chops for ending a sentence with a preposition.
"I do this real moron thing, and it's called thinking. And apparently I'm not a very good American because I like to form my own opinions."

Duplicate removed.
Not at all, ending a sentence with a preposition is perfect. What's wrong with it?

H.P. Lovecraft
Probably, as Persistent or stubborn is technically not a complete sentance. The last word now appears to be syntactique which I think is syntax in English?

It means syntactical by the way but someone used it already anyway.

Been chastised for it in the past for using it in written English. Figured you would since you didn't like conversational English showing up here.
Anyway, I'll back away from this thread slowly

I'm not criticizing your English. To me your English is lovely and sophisticated. I just thought it had to be a sentence okay?

Okay, lets' get back on track.

You're right the only rule is the word has to start the sentance and someone has used it.
I don't speak French only English and Spanish and I couldn't get a good translation to either one online for some reason.
