This is a game that myself and some other people with too much time on their hands used to play on my undergraduate university's bulletin boards.

Someone would start a scenario whereby the eponymous nameless canine was minding its own business one day, when it'd suddenly find itself in a certain-death situation.

The next poster would come up with a way that it escaped the siruation that could be as weird as you like: dumb luck, villain spontaneously combusts, alien abduction, superpowered fleas, nanobots, falling into a haystack after falling out of a 'plane at 15,000 feet...

You get the idea.

But the next poster would also put something into that scenario that would line up the next sticky situation.

For instance, the dog falls out of the 'plane from 15,000 feet and lands in a haystack, but as he's dusting himself off, it seems that the bull whose lunch that haystack was doesn't like dinner guests, and is starting to charge...

It's then up to the next poster to get the dog out of the situation with the bull, but in a way that'll set up the next scenario.

You see? Lots of melodrama and general silliness, and not necessarily as easy as it looks.

So, if anyone's interested, let's play...

*drumroll*

KILL THE DOG!

Once upon a time, our eponymous plucky canine was busy hauling home a string of sausages from the local butcher's. But he was so busy dragging the sausages that he didn't see the subsidence in the road until he was plumeting down the abandoned mine shaft...
