Pearly Shells

[Pooka]

Oh, just a Word Game to pass the time, like it says on the box top.

Instructions: Post a 'compound word', made up of two or more mini words (can be separate, hyphenated, etc., but they must go together), using the last 'mini word' of the post above yours.

We'll create a long chain of pearly shells, and if we get stuck, we'll tie it up and start a new one. That way, we'll be sure everyone gets a set of pearly shells.


Here, I'll try to start and set us a good example:

---

seashell

shellfish

You think this will work?


I just dread contributions by any dirks on the Island
who tend to tie complicated (although intellectual!)
knots in threads...

That smiley, Lux? (May I call you Lux?)

I found one for ya, Beak. Could not swipe it from elsewhere today.
Looks like there have been a couple of requests.

(a) That'll do nicely;
(b) Please do. In fact, I was rather hoping you would.
;D

As for the game, we seem to have got our timezones in a twist already.

I will respond to your last, instead of the one before (unless you've got another post in in the meantime, already - please try to be more laid back. This is a desert island, arftrawl).

Ooops, sorry for the confusion. My two consecutive posts were s'posed to be the first two examples. I didn't even notice which you responded to... goes to show how observant I am.

Ah, yes, marvellous, young lady, have a house point.

Obviously I was going to get one myself but thought that it would be better to set it as an initiative test, which I’m pleased to say you’ve passed.

Now, did someone mention some rum?

Hi Beak! Seeing that all we've got so far are shell necklaces, I thought may wish to borrow my tie for the day.
