How many words can you get out of a word...
...am I the only one who does this when extremely bored and lacking access to the innanets/cell phone?

I've been known to entertain myself this way.
I also make lists associating nationalities with animals, as in Americans with dogs; horses with the English, French with cats, etc. Highly subjective.

I had a lot of fun yesterday with "equipment"
Do you set rules for yourselves?
I do...mine are:
--no contractions
--no acronyms
--no names like "Lucy" or "Harry"
--present tense and past tense; can only use one or the other ("sit" and "sat")

I do this! I even do it when I do have access to a phone: I usually play Chictionary on the subway home after work to unwind. I find it very calming.
