Anyone ever heard that old rhyme? Well, anyway, here's how the game will work. It starts out with the old lady swallowing a fly. The next poster has to have her swallow something to get rid of the fly. The post after that has to have her swallow something to get rid of what she swallowed before, and so on. For example:
Post 1: There once was a lady who swallowed a fly.
Post 2: To catch the fly she swallowed a spider.
Post 3: To kill the spider, she swallowed a cat.
If you want to be clever, you can try and rhyme your verse as in the original poem. Let's begin.
There once was a lady who swallowed a fly. I don't know why she swallowed a fly.
There once was a lady who swallowed a fly...

"Irregardless" and "Over exaggerated" are NEVER CORRECT EVER because they are redundant
Regardless means "without regard", and adding "ir" on the front actually makes it a double negative; exaggerate means "to overstate" so you're literally saying "over overstate."
Example: I can not exaggerate the importance of this fact enough, regardless of how often people ignore it.

(And a rhyming attempt.)
