mc5 - Change Just One Thing
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.

[Everyone: when I set up the game, I didn't give a lot of thought as to how far the mutation should or could go before we called time on it and started a new one. This one is now, I think, unrecognisable from its starting point. Is it time to start a new one or are we still just having too much fun with it? Personally, I would be in favour of a new round. Comments welcome.]
Was Boris a mayor who latterly cheated so that a simpleton in an hysterical swoon might be promoted on a whim? This isn't a vote, just changing one of the few bits left from the original. A new one would be fine.
