Okay, so in this game first you do a sentence, then add "Tom said" and an adjective that makes it funny, for example:
"I don't know what to buy" Tom said listlessly.
"That's the last time I'll wrestle with a shark." Tom said offhandedly.
"This pencil is too dull." Tom said bluntly.

That make sense?

This is funny! However, I am at a loss. I have no Ideas.

Tom said cluelessly.

So, does the next person finish the sentence, with the 'Tom said', or do we finish our own?

Redwaller · July 11, 2013, 02:02:39 PM

Both work for me.

"I'm never going to whisper again!" Tom said loudly.

You finish it n your own, but if the person before you doesn't do one I guess you could do like Drake did.

"What a clean mirror!" Tom said reflectively.

"It's so hot in here," Tom said coolly.

It's bad habits to keeping ending 'x said' with an adjective, don'cha know?

"I'm so angry!" Tom said cheerily.

Redwaller · July 11, 2013, 11:11:26 PM

"I hate flies!" Tom said lovingly.

Yes, but I read somewhere that the author of the Tom Swift series had a habit of doing that. That book is what told me about this game. (Good for a laugh was what the book was called)

"That's a nice statue," Tom said figuratively

"Just blow out the candles," Tom said airily.

Redwaller · July 13, 2013, 01:14:21 PM

"Don't snore!" Tom said snortingly.(meh)

Ahh! Didn't realise the choice of Tom was based off something else.

"I feel fresh and awake!" said Tom tiredly.

"These chips are too soft," Tom said crisply.

MeadowR · July 16, 2013, 10:31:05 PM

"I like canines," Tom said doggedly.

(I know that kind of doesn't work, but meh! :p)
