The Famous Person Chain Game

Acalewia · 09-22-2007, 12:29 PM

Here's a little game I picked up from another message-board. In this one, the famous person has to have one of the names from the previous entry above, and you have to indicate how they're famous.

Like this:

Henry FORD - Automobile Inventor

Then the responding post could be something like this:
FRANCIS Ford Coppola - Movie Director

Then the next one, something like this:

Sir Francis BACON - Renaissance author, courtier, and father of inductive reasoning.

etcetera...

Have fun!

I'll play!!

Alright let me think....here!

Jacques Coustea - Opened the underwater world to new generations.

You come up with another Coustea and I'll slap ya with a twenty!

All too easy. Fork over, buddy:

Jean-Michel COUSTEAU (yes, that's how you spell it), son of Jacques-Yves Cousteau (god, has it been 10 years since his death already?) and documentary-maker in his own right.

Im am ashamed.... I have been defeated. Oh, well, I can part with twenty.
*Grudgingly hands a twenty dollar bill to Earniel*
I didnt even know that other people knew about him, almost know one I talk to does, his son I mean, but Jacques was my role model, and sorry about the misspelling.

a

Anyway, take this!

Jean-Michel Basquiat- artist who's humble beginings make me laugh.

I hope that's not too vague...

You hope that's not too vague... Hmm. O.K., let me ask you this, Nautipus: Do you know ONE single other famous individual who happens to also have the name Basquiat, first OR last name as such, besides this artist? One single other one? Do you? I surely don't, myself personally... Basquiat is not an even marginally common name. But perhaps I am wrong, perhaps there is another famous Basquiat roaming around out there on this globe whom I've never ever heard of...

Nautipus · 09-26-2007, 12:44 AM

I'm going to be totally, despairingly honest...No. i cant really think of one right off the top of my head. Could someone not use the first names again? Or maybe break them down? Or have I dug myself a hole, and should hand over the reigns to someone elso while I skulk away, alone and ashamed?

Seriously, If I've hit a dead end, sorry.

Lotesse, why dont you take it from here while I offer up a thousand apologies and attempt to redeem my manhood.
