First Line, Last Line
20 June 2006
Filed under Language, Politics, Text, The Media
First Line, Last Line is a Balderdash-style party game for word-nerds, with the following rules: take the first line of one outrageously provocative article and the last line of a completely unrelated (yet equally obnoxious) one, then see if you can construct an argument connecting the two. Bonus points for every one of the following groups you can insult along the way: women, gays, Leftists, single mothers, academics.
Example: Connect “The problem with gay marriages isn’t really the gays at all” with “After all, how many more underparented and angry young hoods do you really want on our streets?”
