Hi All,

rules are simple, ill post a word, next person posts a word associated with it, words cant be duplicated unless it makes a funny.
Hal will then interpret it and give us an interpretation of the RR collective (with no apologies to ISSy) unconsciousness . (wont you Hal?..... Hal?...... HAL?)

chancer?
Canterbury
(In a word game you shouldn't allow those who cannot spell Chaucer)
The association from Prancer to Chaucer is not clear.
Bunny
and it was meant to be chancer! Chancer as in talks the talk but inept as hell.
Playboy
Chancer was a British television serial produced by Central Television for ITV. It told the story of a likeable conman and rogue (played by Clive Owen) at the end of the yuppie eighties. There were a total of twenty episodes, split into two series which aired in 1990 and 1991.
Pretty arcane association, must be a Britophile thing.

chancer also means one who takes chances in irish slang or fart in the urban slang dictionary source:google

(I was hoping for something Bullwinkleish...
)
As an alumna of WhatsamattaU, I can only add:
FrostbiteFalls
because those attending Sky-U-Mah U, never forget.
FYI, the real WhatsamattaU was based upon the various odd ways buildings at the University of Minnesota and the Mississippi River interact, particularly in winter, and then in the spring floods. Rumor had it the "U" was going to take over Harriet Island in St. Paul, for a theater or something.
Rocky and Bullwinkle had other ideas. Frostbite Falls is either International Falls, Minneapolis where Minnehaha Falls is right next to Longfellow's home, or St. Paul, where almost the entire Bluffs are covered with ice falls in winter, as water freezes before it makes the full trip from the upper whatever roads on the bluffs, to Shepherd Road - at river level.
Those in the know claim it's St. Paul, the superior City of the Twins, because the U held many classes at Harriet Island in the years right before the cartoon came to television.

Randisaracistandsexistputz
RandIsWithoutRedeemingSocialValue.
Which, under the plethora of statements from a Supreme Court that can't identify it using descriptive words, can recognize it only when they see it, makes Rand on of those X-weighted things that small children, sensitive adults, and many people of ordinary desires and average intelligence avoid. Or, if they are certain types of pastors, indulge in as often as possible, go to rehab, and then cry about it on late night TV. This causes people to wake up and cower in fear as the tear-stained face of such, ahem, leaders, beg for money as they sing Heaven Wants Me For A Sunbeam.
As for the black-robed guys sitting in a darkened room watching endless hours of film, rumor has it they do provide their own popcorn.
