Exquisite Corpse
Let's play.
Let's blank out all but the last word, and specify the part of speech if the sentence is incomplete.
Let's also keep it within the parameters of IP. A person can rhyme if he or she so chooses. But only one line, and let's say you can't jump back in for 5 lines. Let's end it at 24 lines, at latest, unless it's really going strong.
Let's see where it takes us. I'll start:

Hi Andrew,
There's no danger of me cheating. It's 2.15am, I'm in bed typing this on my phone ...(and I'm a blonde).

Ok, that was snippy, but I couldn't resist.
I think I get it. It's like that drawing game, where you concertina-fold a piece of paper and draw a weird creature. One person draws the top of its head and leaves two little lines under the fold for the next person...
Sadly, I'm with Jayne on this one. Have you been at the espresso, Andrew?

I just googled 'Exquisite Corpse'! Thanks Andrew, you taught me something new. I never knew the drawing game I used to play with my brother and sister had its roots in the Surrealists!
Hmm. Maybe I could get on board with this...
Edit: I should go to bed.
