The Whack-a-Word game

[countessalmirena]

I hope this might prove to be another enjoyable word game on this board.

The idea is this: the starting poster posts a word that represents a weapon (funny, serious, bizarre, whatever the case may be), and uses that word in a sentence that describes the attack. It can be as simple as "Aimed gun."

(If the weapon uses more than one word, it can be hyphenated but needn't be; it should be treated as one word. Ditto for the defence/armour.)

The second poster posts a word that represents a defence/armour to that weapon (again, it can be funny, serious, bizarre, or whatever), and uses that word in a sentence that describes the defence.

The second poster must then also post a weapon that starts with any of the letters in the preceding weapon word EXCEPT for either first or last letter, and use the word in a sentence describing the attack.

The responding poster posts in the same way as the second poster, and so on.

It can be written in the first person ("I raised my sword") or second person ("He/she raised his/her word").

For example:

POSTER 1:  JELLY-SWORD: I draw my wobbly jelly-sword from its scabbard and with a "ha!", I lunge forward.

POSTER 2: ELECTION POSTER: I raise my election poster and it deflects the attack.

LICORICE TANK: I get into my licorice tank and drive it forward menacingly.

POSTER 3: etc.

Would anyone like to start?

ANTI-SNEEZE ANTI-FREEZE ADDITIVE - The man, in the midst of a cataclysmic series of sneezes, reached for his anti-sneeze anti-freeze additive (which he usually put into his gas tank... because this is happening in America - a cold part of America), and inhaled it; it certainly stopped his freezing but it also gave a psychotropic trip, with the result that he trotted off after Jolene without any nasal mucus or sneeze... and he was high as a kite.

X-TREME GUITAR & BRAIN-WAVE TUNING PEG - At a music festival, the bass player - who was fed up with their frontman (singer and lead guitarist) always getting all of the attention - substituted one of the pegs on the singer/guitarist's guitar for the wonderfully wicked X-Treme guitar& brain-wave tuning peg... and made sure (just as they were about to go on stage) that the relevant string was out of tune by a semi-tone, so that the frontman would have to tune the guitar onstage, and his brainwave patterns would go PZZZZZZZZZKKK! and he'd go completely insane and his guitar would explode - right in front of all the fans.

TONE-DEAFENING CROWD CONTROL MECHANISM - The frontman unfortunately stepped in front of the tone-deafening crowd control mechanism just before going on stage, and so didn't even realise that the guitar was out of tune, which meant he didn't touch the x-treme guitar & brain-wave tuning peg, and so stayed sane (or as sane as he could be with all the party drugs he ingested), and the guitar stayed intact.

EVER-EXPANDING DIRTY BATH TOWEL - The teenager was forever leaving his wet and dirty towels all over his bedroom floor, so his mother supplied him with an ever-expanding dirty bath towel, which would keep expanding until he could no longer get to his electronic devices (which he used during every waking hour) or his bed (which he also used almost every waking hour).  It would only decrease in size when he picked it up and placed it in the dirty laundry basket, thus ensuring that he no longer dropped his towels on the floor.

PICK-ME-UP ROBOTIC DEVICE - The smart teen, who was untidy and messy in the bathroom, but a geek and an inventor in his room, invented a robotic device that picked up the dirty towel for him, while he laughed and talked to his friends on Facebook, taking selfies showing his triumphant smile.

SHUT-UP donuts - Tired of his wife eating all the donuts he bought for the whole family while yelling at him for asking her to have some consideration for others, he injected a magic potion in the donuts that would  cause her voice to disappears for 6.5 hours, hoping her rants would be over by then.

ANTI-VOICE-CANCELLING SHOUTY MILK - The greedy woman gobbled up the SHUT-UP DONUTS like a pig at a trough, felt her voice beginning to go, and with a furious expression grabbed a glass of her ANTI-VOICE-CANCELLING SHOUTY MILK which restored her voice immediately, and she shouted successfully for so long that her donut-deprived husband cried into his hands.

BAMBOOZLING TRAFFIC LIGHT FLASHER - The driver of the rusty mini felt enraged by pedestrians crossing at the corner when the lights were already amber, so he installed the BAMBOOZLING TRAFFIC LIGHT FLASHER which would flash with confusing red and green yellow lights in a mad disco pattern so that the people wanting to cross would become hypnotised and confused and fall to the ground, allowing him to drive his mini through the crossing again and again.

TRAFFIC LIGHT RESET REMOTE CONTROL - The jaywalker always carried her traffic light reset remote control with her, so all she had to do was press the reset button to counteract the effects of the bamboozling traffic light flasher, and all the ignorant pedestrians went about their merry way, totally maddening the mini driver.

SILKY SMOOTH SKIN REMOVER - Her boyfriend was totally obsessed with his looks, to the extent that she had no time in the bathroom of a morning, so she replaced his body moisturiser with a tube of silky smooth skin remover, which would have him running from the house with his skin completely flayed, and she could complete her makeup in peace.

MAGIC FACE MASK - Her boyfriend ordered a magic face mask from his beautician that not only restored his skin, but even gave it a better, younger appearance.

VOLCANIC BLENDER - Tired of his girlfriend's healthy smoothies, he added a device to the blender that would throw everything she put in it back on her face in an unstoppable explosion of colours and ingredients.

GRAPEFRUIT DEVOLCANISER - The young woman observed her boyfriend mucking around with her blender, so she bought a GRAPEFRUIT DEVOLCANISER from K-Mart and it successfully turned the explosion of ingredients into healthy grapefruit-scented milkshakes that she could enjoy while her boyfriend fumed.

CANINE WHIMPERING BISCUITS - The would-be kidnapper whistled to Grazia Fellini’s Dobermans and threw his batch of CANINE WHIMPERING BISCUITS over the fence, so that the dogs, after eating them, would cringe and whimper at their owner instead of guarding her.

[veiled-lady]

FEROCITY RESTORING DOGGY CHOCS - Grazia Fellini was aware that a kidnapper could target her, and try to neutralize her Dobermans, so she kept a supply of ferocity restoring doggy chocs in the pockets of her expensive designer jeans, which would counteract the effect of the canine whimpering biscuits, and which she fed to them whenever their guardianship of her appeared to be waning.

OVERWEIGHT LUGGAGE NEUTRALIZER - He always had a strict budget for his holiday travel, so he could spend more on experiences at the final destination, but his extravagant partner always packed way too many clothes, so he installed an overweight luggage neutralizer in their suitcase, which would eject each and every item which added excessively to the total weight of clothing packed.

HEAVINESS SQUASHING STRAP - The spendthrift spouse was shocked by the overweight luggage neutralizer, and immediately dashed off to buy a heaviness squashing strap which made the overweight luggage neutralizer float away to a nearby gym (where it caused an amazing amount of trouble); the suitcase with the strap was now weighing no more than a handful of dried leaves.

CAN'T SCRABBLE COFFEE - Bonnie was so enraged by always losing at Scrabble when her friend Leila was playing that she bought some CAN'T SCRABBLE COFFEE beans, ground it especially as required for filtered coffee, and gave the resulting brew to Leila just before they started a new game of Scrabble.

SCRABBLE-GALVANIZING SWEETENER - Leila chuckled as she locked herself in her studio and invented a scrabble-galvanizing sweetener for her coffee that not only nullified the effect of the CAN'T SCRABBLE coffee beans bought by her jealous friend, but even improved her skills at Scrabble, basically making her invincible.

THOU-SHALT-NOT-SNORE MASK - Tired of her hubbie's constant snoring that prevented her from having a peaceful night, she invented a mask that totally silenced that man and the noise he made with his mouth, even after he woke up, apart from being able to whistle some melodies for the birdies.
