Change Just One Thing
help
Start with a sentence, as dramatic or mundane as you like, then change just one thing about it. A spelling or punctuation mark, take one word out, put one word in, etc. When the sentence can't take any more alteration, start another. At some point, we will get to a sentence that contains the standard winning move.

Was Boris a mayor who latterly cheated so that a simpleton in an hysterical swoon might be blackmailed on a whim? All gone now?
Was Boris a mayor who latterly cheated so that a simpleton in an hysterical fit might be blackmailed on a whim? Nah! Let's keep going till its total bollocks :o)
Was Boris a mayor who latterly cheated so that a simpleton feigning an hysterical fit might be blackmailed on a whim?
Boris was a mayor who latterly cheated so that a simpleton feigning an hysterical fit might be blackmailed on a whim.
Boris was a mayor who latterly cheated so that a simpleton feigning an anaphylactic fit might be blackmailed on a whim. I agree with Kim, and submit that the new line should be introduced when every word (or close to) of the original has changed. Or when we get bored of the current one.

I think, therefore I am.
I am, therefore I am.
I am Rosie, I am. ... please be careful...
I am Rosie, I think.
I was Rosie, I think.
I was Rosie, I stink.
I was Rosie, you stink. [Rosie/Juxtapose] The word "be" was still retained from the original sentence. No matter. An excellent start to the game, I thought. Crisps all round.
I was rosy, you stink.
He was rosy, you stink.
They were rosy, you stink. [Kim, Rosie, Juxt] Plus there were two vestigial indefinite articles.
They were rosy, you skunk!
They were nosey, you skunk!
They were badgers, you skunk!
They were badgers, you skink!
They're worried badgers, you skink!
They're worried badgers, you know. Should there be a rule that you can't change a word that was changed in the previous move? It would make the game a little more challenging. Glad to have disappeared off the map, BTW. :-)
