(moderation:
Chris and Mike's responses in the Jumble thread have given me an idea for a new game. Although I was inspired by a (overly simplistic) jumble, for this game we will just use real words.
Rules:
1. Previous winner posts a word. I don't want to impose a limit on how long words can be, but keep them reasonable.
2. Other players make up funny things that that word could be an acronym for.
3. After a minimum of 24 hours and maximum of 72, previous winner picks 3rd, 2nd, and 1st place winners from the entries posted, and notifies 1st place by PM.
4. 1st place winner posts a new word. If no word is posted in 24 hours, 2nd place gets 24 hours or it goes to 3rd.
5. Go to 1.
Your first word (keeping with the theme of the word that inspired this game): KITTEN

Well, it's been four days now, more or less. My own rules call for me to pick a winner. On the other hand, there's only been one entry.
Is anyone else interested in this game?

All right, just for the record, I'm declaring Mike the winner. Whether he wants to post another word is up to him.
