Rephrase that!

[HisEagle]

New game.... I think. I'm not sure if anything like this has been done before, but I thought it might be fun.

The rules are simple:

Take the words out of the previous poster's phrase or sentence, and substitute a different word for each word so that the resulting phrase or sentence still has the same basic meaning.

Then post a new phrase for the next person to use.

For example, if I start with the phrase "As the world turns", I can substitute new words for each word in that phrase and come up with "While the planet spins".

Get the idea?

Okay, I'll start...

"All's well that ends well."
