thursday, april 8, 2010: box

it has been quite a long time since theme thursday solicited suggestions from players - in fact, months and months and a completely different season.

this week the humble tt committee would like to solicit your suggestions. we have many, many players who have joined since the last time we asked for ideas and it would be quite lovely to start the new season with a new list representing ideas from as many different theme thursday players as possible. all players are welcome to present ideas for future play (but, please limit your list to 5 ideas). put on your thinking caps and start stuffing the ol' suggestion box!

so as to not waste a perfectly good image, let's think outside the box and have BOX be the theme for april 8th! hope we don't make you feel boxed in with our request!

  19. I got a little jump on Thursday because I am already seeing where that day is headed! As far as themes...telephones, computers, grammas, grampas, bicycles? Those were the first 5 words that popped into my head which would probably be a psychological study in itself. :) Happy week!

    ReplyDelete
  20. Okay, yes, this is my 4th post...the first 2 gave me an error message and said they wouldn't post. HA! Call in the doctor...I'm losing my mind!

    ReplyDelete

    under that rock.

    Bye for now

    a spaceship (maybe one from the 1930s)
    a dragon (a woodcut or one drawn from antiquity)
    a faceless statue (think Nike)
    a fairy or something from folklore such as a kelpie or a lady of the lake pr centaur

  30. Kimy: I rec'd a number of funny remarks and plays on the word "bupkus" which I used this week for TT box because I had zip. Well, I want to submit the word BUPKUS, BUPKIS, BUPKES (dictionary .com gives all 3 spellings) as a TT word.

    There's some funny stuff out there!!!
