Not "E"asy Game
In 1939, Ernest Vincent Wright wrote a 50,000 word novel Gadsby without using a single letter "E" ( http://spinelessbooks.com/gadsby/ ). This thread will ban all "Es." We will start a conversation with no Es and see how far we can go. This will be a test of your creativity and vocabulary. If you spot an E, you get to award a "gotcha!"
I'll start. What did you do today?

Re: Not "E"asy Game
I got up, ran off to Mass, am back, had yoghurt, and am now writing to you... Did I do okay?

Oh sorry, but it's the Prof's fault! I didn't start this! 
Don't play if if you don't wish to Tim or if you find it boring. It is hard. Only odd folk think up such things as this. And only odd folk play along.

Re: Not "E"asy Game
Odd birds do flock to such stuff. Trish, you and I are similar in many ways I think. Boring? No way! Playing is a good way to wrap up a day grading and thinking about how I can add a liquidity crisis quip to my discussion of public policy Monday morning. You can bank on it. Any thoughts on this topic? If not, any topic at all will work. Think on it folks! You too, Tim, it is a lot of fun. All of us must work as a group on this task. I will probably stay up all night thinking about this. I just can't stop fussing with forums such as this. What about you?

Re: Not "E"asy Game
Say, work out this inquiry -- which NFL organization lost the championship this last round?

Hmm! Both organizations had birds for mascots. A third bird is in a final tough brou-ha-ha on Sunday. This bird has a Catholic link as you all know. I think Pittsburg will win.

Good for you!
You said, "Trish, you and I are similar in many ways, I think." What a kind thing to say...I think (?) And you, such a bright man!!! My day would start and finish at a dissimilar hour than yours, as I am in Australia. It's Saturday morning, half past midday...
Ah, I just saw a flaw!!
GOTCHA too, you said " Trish, you and I are similar in many ways"

Re: Not "E"asy Game
Wouldn't you be mad if you bought admission to a play, only to find that it was a full house that night?
