Participatory Storytelling. (A word game)

Im sure this exists already, but I couldnt find such a thing.. so anyway.. its a type of word game. Each person makes a post and the can only post a single word.. or double word if appropriate... eg (boxer shorts). Please use red to highlight your addition.

So the first person posts: "The"
The 2nd posts "The whole"
The 3rd "The whole world"
4th: "The whole world is"
So we build up a story which none of us can fully control. If anyone makes a grammatical error then the next person can essentially call their word unfit and post a different word instead. It may be necessary to end a sentence. If you do then your post can be the full stop and the next word in the sentence.
eg:
5th: "The whole world is wrong"
6th (end the sentence) : "The whole world is wrong. At"

The fun comes in of course when you try to corrupt the story and send it down a different track.. or you might want to try to make it as difficult as possible for the next person to come up with a word that fits..

I dont know.. care to give it a try?

Ill start with:
