Ben Hammersley: Acronymic Acrobatics or "Greatest MetaFilter Thread Ever". Indeed!
Blogstop, Where the last word of an entry must be used as an acronym for the next entry.
Somehow reminds me, that I will have to watch a improv theater performance again. I once had the chance to see one in the Improv Asylum in Boston; it was absolutely great.
The performances are completely improvised and based on suggestions from the audience and the rules from handles. This is probably the reason this is called Theatersport around here. Blogstop reminds of a handle, where two actors had to carry a dialog by using the partners last word as the beginning of a sentence. Also similar is the alphabet scene, where every sentence has to begin with the next letter from the alphabet.
