The anagram game
Here's how it works. I'll start the game with a single letter. Then someone adds a letter to make it a word. Then each next post adds a letter and rearranges them into a new word, getting something along the following lines:
e
me
men
mean
named
demean
demeans
meanders
...
Let's see how far we can get. Use names if you must or if it's cool/funny, but no intentional misspellings, abbreviations or internet lingo. Also, no going twice in a row.
If things get long enough we may get into -grammatically correct- sentences and -somewhat sense-making- short stories (in which case letters are case-insensitive and punctuation is free), though with that many letters it's probably better to start over with a new one.
To get things started, the first letter is:
a
(PS: I believe there's a ten letter minimum, so you may want to add a parenthesized comment like this.)

(Actually, it's a three letter minimum.)
(awesome, finally an interesting forum game)
(Restores the vowel-to-consonant ratio a bit. Hm, I wonder if we should restart on a new letter...)
(ok it's nonsensical, but even so. I thought I had it with 'talk is scarce', but there was an s left over. Which is too bad because it would have been a great answer to Soultaker's question.)

(incidentally, we may want to be more mindful of the vowel-to-consonant ratio)

Now to start things off again:
