I was OP on this one. If I spent time looking, I admit the "get a life" would be deserved. But being curious about a thread that is getting on toward 800 pages does not strike me as being that strange, although I suppose nobody recognizes his own weirdness!

FYI: All the words/associations rapidly merge together.
If you read less than 1 page you will likely see that.
Just go from the first word at the top of any page and scroll down a few words and the transformation will become apparent.

Perhaps we can all scan TV Guide after that for repeated word strings. OP, I think you need a hobby. How about volunteering for the Red Cross?

In the word association game, I.m sure there have been words repeated, and I would guess even successive pairs that have recurred. I confess that I am much too lazy (or too sane) to look through the whole thing to check that supposition, but I wonder what the longest repeated string is, and whether there is anyone obsessive enough to have looked??? Perhaps we can figure out some way to divvy up the labor of looking (assuming somebody else shares my curiosity).
