This is a silly game. The point is to figure out the rule and just post according to it. Don't blow it by saying the rule. You could cheat and Google the name of the game but who on Hatrack would cheat like that?

Tinros and Tante, this could be a good place to continue your post war. [Smile]

Behind the green glass door you might find moonbeams but not sunshine.

You could eat sweet relish behind the green glass door, but not pickles.

George Clooney could be on the other side of the door but not Vin Diesel.

So, Bill Murray could go through the door. But not The Artist Formerly Known as Prince.

Yes! My friends play the naughty version of this game so I will have to behave myself here.

You could be a n00b but not a newbie.

I could listen to 3 Doors Down but not The Artist Formerly Known as Prince beyond the Green Glass Door.

Edit: We've played this game before. It took me awhile to figure it out. But I did.

We used to play games like this--ie I'm going on a trip to Siam, I can take a suitcase but no bags--but we did them in person, sitting in a big circle.

This game is cool, but not interesting.

I could be a bookkeeper or accountant, but not a manager or a waiter behind this green glass door.

I started this game here some time last year-- only I know it as the Green Glass Room. [Smile]

I giggle giddily beyond the Green Glass Door while hopping happily.

We've played this too! It seems like everyone gets it. [Smile]

How do we introduce a new rule and keep them straight? Maybe we pick something new that it's beyond, on, into, beneath, or other preposition?

Into the Aquamarine Cave I can take a shoe but not a hat, a glove but not a handkerchief, a magazine but no books.

Vasslia Cora, this one is very simple! Do you need more examples?

Into the Aquamarine Cave I can take a bottle but not a can, Coke but not Pepsi, a candle but not a flashlight, a timepiece but not a watch, a mouse but not a rat, blue but not green, purple but not gold, sunshine but not clouds, daytime but not the night.

Behind the green glass door, I can wear lipgloss but not lipstick, dresses, but not skirts.

And my sweetie carries a jackknife, but by honey does not have a switchblade.

However, in the Aquamarine Cave, I have a purse, but no handbag, I act nice, but not kind, and I love to wear mauve, beige or taupe, but not green black or yellow.

Beyond the Green Glass Door I can poop and pee, but I can't eat or drink [Frown] .

In the Aquamarine cave, there is purpose, but no goal. You can give and recieve, but never return. Things change, but they aren't dynamic.

Can I make one? How about the Orange hockey locker?

Where things can be purple, orange, or yellow, but not red, blue, green, brown, black, or white.

You can drink brandy or scotch, but no rum, vodka, or gin.

There's plenty of oxygen, carbon, sulfur, silver, and iodine, but no nitrogen, helium, silicone, gold, or alluminum...

Edit: Thanks! *brainfart*

In the Orange Hockey Locker, there can be Dornicks, but no Gaals. There can be TVs, but no screens. There can be Hatrack, but no Card. And Science, Christian, Jewish, and Muslim can all coexist togethor [Smile] . Did I get it right?

So if I got it right, beyond this Green Glass Door I can feel but not touch?

...sleep but not nap, nor rest?

Edit: Didn't look at the rest of the thread. Serves me right. [Big Grin]
