The game is played by staging a turn-based conversation amongst a group of people(family, friends, people in bus queues etc). The conversation starts with a statement(that might be printed on a piece of card in the posh, after dinner version - $25 Pat. Pending), and then each person asks a question or makes a comment in turn.
Every time someone takes their turn, they must somehow show that they have misheard, misunderstood or otherwise simply not got the gist of whatever the last person said.
It's different to the 'Half A Word' game [linked by Phundung] in that rather than being a question and answer game, the statements can be comments, questions, asides or anything that the next person may naturally want to say. This makes the game flow more like a conversation and less like an interrogation.
Misunderstandings can be based on whatever the individual likes, however sportsmanship should be employed in order to keep the quality up and avoid 'cheap' gags wherever possible.-- zen_tom, Jun 29 2005 Half_20a_20Word_20Game How many of you bakers play this game?!

Yes, Agent #2345, Governments are really just a huge waste of resources. You should consider Liberty, Democracy, and Freedom as ideal pursuits.

First of all, it seems like a lot of people here are either not paying attention or they are deliberately misunderstanding the last person.

Did I miss something big?-- notmarkflynn, Feb 27 2006 He went off in a huff, declaring that he was going to start a bigger and better bakery. He has a site someplace, echoing and deserted for the most part.-- normzone, Feb 27 2006 That's kind of sad. If I ever got that disgruntled with my fellow 'bakers I'd just go and spend some time interacting with people in the real world. I'd be scurrying back here quick sticks.-- spidermother, Feb 27 2006 Yes, but you're not a twat.-- wagster, Feb 27 2006 Thanks, [wags]. Maybe it was just a misunderstanding ;-)
Good game, by the way. Has anyone ever played the one where you respond to the second-to-last thing that was said? You could combine the two.-- spidermother, Feb 27 2006 I did! I did! I taw a puddy twat.-- coprocephalous, Feb 27 2006 Who said anything about how long a second should last?-- wagster, Feb 27 2006 What's the name of his rogue site site? Has it found our site's weakness in the form of an air vent/ faulty wiring?-- notmarkflynn, Feb 27 2006 The second shoe'd use the same last as the first, but back to front.-- spidermother, Feb 27 2006 Purple.-- DrCurry, Feb 27 2006 [notmarkflynn], see link.-- normzone, Feb 27 2006 do not mark that fin with ink, see? purple monkey dishwasher +(please see link, not intended for normzone, sorry -he's cute)-- xandram, Feb 27 2006 If I recall correctly [notmarkflynn], he averaged a similar bun to fish ratio as you seem to be observing. Of course he was never willing to show any humility and ricocheted (Is this a word?) between fairly entertaining to downright arrogant. This seems one of his not so shining moments.
[wags], it's an easy thing to say from your point of view, but he had well over a hundred ideas that he thought were good. At least 70 of them we had collectively decided weren't. Facing that amount of rejection, I'm not altogether surprised that he turned against the halfbakery. (I'm also a little entertained that we no longer qualify for his 'Fun and Interesting Links' list)-- hidden truths, Feb 27 2006 Thanks for coming to my defense, [bigsleep], but the truth of the matter is that I am a purple monkey dishwasher, although only recreationally and not as a profession.
I have always been a fan of dueling, but dawn is reserved for assassins in my book. Are you offering to be my second, or defend my honor? Can I sleep in late while you take care of it?-- normzone, Feb 27 2006 Out of interest then [norm]. What is a purple monkey dishwasher? Is it a purple monkey that washes dishes? Or a dishwasher for purple monkeys? A dishwasher for monkeys that happens to be purple or a machine to wash purple monkey dishes?-- hidden truths, Feb 27 2006 Eh?
I'd opt for the purple machine that washes monkey-dishes.-- zen_tom, Feb 27 2006 Sorry, can't hear you. Could you speak up?-- normzone, Feb 27 2006 Hey, that gives me an idea for an echo - Ask For Explanation From Last But One Person.-- egbert, Feb 27 2006 Is it like Esperanto?-- spidermother, Feb 28 2006 What, you mean black coffee in a little cup?-- coprocephalous, Feb 28 2006 I've got the waterfront covered.-- egbert, Feb 28 2006 I've got a kitchen cupboard.-- DrBob, Feb 28 2006 <aside>I particularly enjoyed and was impressed by [Jinbish]'s calculations last week, proving, in the end, and on an entirely different idea, that [Vernon] has a very small kitchen. I would like to take this opportunity to simultaneously thank [Jinbish] for providing such enjoyable workings, and also to apologise to [Vernon] (in this completely inappropriate location) for instigating something so totally off-topic on his idea. I would have apologised on the idea in question, but I didn't want to off-topic it any more that I already had - plus I was enjoying the results so much, I didn't want to spoil them. I thought putting an apology here would be a good idea, because if I worded it incorrectly, it would simply look as though I was attempting to join in with the game, rather than simply being an ass.-- zen_tom, Feb 28 2006 [zen tom], no offense taken. I understand that the HB is rather free of discipline. And it probably couldn't be what it is, if it had it. :)-- Vernon, Feb 28 2006 [bigsleep] [mfd] Bad science / Magic.

It's how you use it, I suppose.-- Ling, Jan 16 2007 Those suppositories better be greased up then.-- Trickytracks, Jan 16 2007 But it is only natural for a tin of grease to be kinky; the kinks in the surface enhance grip, which is essential when handling a greasy tin. Why [Ling], you act as if there were something queer about the word "kinky", and that a tin would be wrong to be such.-- Veho, Jan 16 2007 I believe I just read something about ten kinky wongs.-- shapu, Jan 16 2007 You just said something about Kinky Friedman's Bongs?-- Zimmy, Jan 16 2007 Whoever King Keefreemen is, I don't think you should accuse him of taking bungs without some proof to back you up.-- imaginality, Jan 17 2007 Oh, tennis player as well, was he?

Thanks.-- pocmloc, Oct 04 2010 What is so great about a miss understanding what he wrote?-- kamathln, Oct 05 2010 [kamathln]
Do you mean (hip) popotamous understanding? Very minimal, I should think.-- Boomershine, Oct 05 2010 You might be thinking of zeolites, or maybe asbestos. They can be quite furry minerals.-- MaxwellBuchanan, Oct 05 2010 //You might be thinking//
As best as I can, you mean?
Oh, zeolites *are* Fairy Animals.-- Boomershine, Oct 05 2010 My friends all have Porches, I must make amends.-- normzone, Oct 06 2010 Do you live in Australia, [NZ]?-- pocmloc, Oct 06 2010 Yeah, Australia is often referred to as the "West Island" of NZ.-- neutrinos_shadow, Oct 08 2010 Ah, Wes Thailand! Wes and I went to school together but lost touch at the end of the 80s.-- jonthegeologist, Oct 10 2010 What a coincidence, I used to have to get a bus which stopped just before the end of the 80s (around 86 or 88)-- Dub, Dec 08 2010 You are right. We should 86 this "idea". [+]-- baconbrain, Dec 08 2010 No this idea wasn't in 1984 by george orwell-- metarinka, Dec 11 2010 was that the 77, [dub]?-- po, Dec 11 2010 I don't really hate the talking heads on TV. But at least on occasion, show me some leg.-- theircompetitor, Dec 11 2010 Heads on TV in the 80's. Very dubious haircuts. Same goes for legs...-- saedi, Dec 12 2010 Who had very W's haircuts? And why? I don't know how that man became president.-- baconbrain, Dec 12 2010 Faye W's hair cuts? I know it's fine, but I wouldn't use it as a cheese knife.-- PeterSilly, Dec 12 2010 faze out haircuts? Because the scissors are as dangerous as imported Chinese goods.-- reclaimbozeman, Dec 13 2010 I sometimes like to get a fade haircut in the summer.-- rcarty, Jan 04 2011 My summer fell off after one of those-- Dub, Feb 28 2011 You're lucky it was just some! A guy I know lost the whole shebang. Now he has to carry a sign.-- bungston, Feb 28 2011 I tell you what if you didn't carry the sign in that dastardly COBOL you would make a bad SUM-er.-- 4whom, Feb 28 2011 It’s called “carry oot” in Scotland.-- pocmloc, Feb 28 2011 Sure, I'll buy a pair of Scottish custom boots!-- xxobot, Mar 01 2011 I think I got it.
[+] What do you do with edited annotations?-- pashute, Mar 01 2011 Gottit? I think it was Godot...-- not_morrison_rm, Mar 01 2011 Dilbert missed Godot although she was under the stand. That's what made her the last person.-- pashute, Mar 01 2011 Ah! Lars Perrsohn! One of my favourite Norwegian singers.-- jonthegeologist, Mar 31 2011 I love the smell of burning Scandinavian pine in the morning.-- nineteenthly, Mar 31 2011 yes, the wickerman, a great movie.-- po, Mar 31 2011 Does anyone remember the busload of kids he saved? No.But he has relations with just 'one' horse ...-- 2 fries shy of a happy meal, Mar 31 2011 Why would anyone remember that he chose an investment based on minors stored in public transport?
And measuring the poverty of his family on a scale of equestrian ownership is relevant?-- Twizz, Mar 31 2011 Who, Edward Woodwood? And it would have been Scotch Pine.-- zen_tom, Mar 31 2011 Actually I think Westwood is filled with perennials.-- Voice, Mar 31 2011 Anyway to get back onto the subject at hand, I would say that I have two left feet.-- pocmloc, Mar 31 2011 Most of us are able to say that we have two feet left - that's the number we started out with.-- normzone, Mar 31 2011 Most but not all. Especially those few of us who have dyslexia. They would miss left with right, and mix F with T. It then becomes an impossible feat to accomfish.-- pashute, Mar 31 2011 You bungeed your foot to a fish - you sort it out.-- Twizz, Apr 01 2011 I _have_ thought about it, thank you very much, and no, I'm _still_ not hungry for fish!-- Alterother, Apr 01 2011 Bun, but this is hardly a game... I do this all the time in normal conversation, just to mess with people.-- In No Particular Order, Apr 01 2011 Some of the time, my internet connection is OK, but often the website I want is down.-- pocmloc, Apr 02 2011 Juan Disdown? Quite sure he was the Eurovision entry for Spain in 2006.-- jonthegeologist, May 20 2011 Huh?-- ShawnBob, May 20 2011 //Huh?// sp. "Huh?"-- mouseposture, May 20 2011 huh's on first.-- theircompetitor, May 20 2011 Hughes did not write that.-- neelandan, May 21 2011 I don't want to know about your huge anus.-- Alterother, May 21 2011 Send us the photos anyway.-- infidel, May 21 2011 Have attached them to homing rabbit.-- pocmloc, May 21 2011 I thought that they'd quickly gone extinct?-- Dub, Aug 06 2016 My apologies, I've been working in the garden all day. I'll go and have a nice long shower now.-- BunsenHoneydew, Aug 09 2016 Do apologies look similar to daisies?-- ixnaum, Aug 09 2016 That's heliotropes. Apologies are the points on the orbit furthest from Earth.-- 8th of 7, Aug 09 2016 What's a point, really. Just an abstraction in a long line of abstractions.-- theircompetitor, Aug 09 2016 But I had my wisdom teeth out years ago!-- BunsenHoneydew, Aug 11 2016 Put them away then. It's never too late.-- pocmloc, Aug 11 2016 Two lattes is just gauche. One venti mocha for me, thanks.-- RayfordSteele, Aug 11 2016 random, halfbakery
