I just thought of a new game, it is possible that it already exists in the mind of someone else, but who cares.

The game will use logic similar to the infamous:
God is Love
Love is Blind
Stevie Wonder is Blind
Stevie Wonder is God
Stevie Wonder Exists
Therefore God Exists

I'll start it off, this may seem offensive but it is meant to be satiric:
Socrates, in The Republic, promotes infanticide
Socrates had sex with men
Homosexuals promote infanticide

Must we use fallacies of the kind used in the examples above?

JonHecht spouts bilge.
Bilge pumps spout bilge.
JonHecht is a bilge pump.

Maybe I shouldn't have initiated it with something so offensive.

Megabyte, any flawed logic should do, I simply took two true statements and made an irrational connection to reach the absurd.
