Acronyms

I had this idea for a game the other day and had some fun playing with it in my head for a while. Hopefully everyone else will to.

The rules are simple.

1. Acronyms go through the alphabet. (example: ABC, BCD, CDE....)
2. The first two words of your acronym must be the last two words of the acronym before it.
3. Try not to use random words, some of them may have to be but most should sound like actual acronyms.

Now, a bit of a start/example:

person 1: all boys count
person 2: boys count dominoes
person 3: count dominoes everywhere

Get the picture? Good, continue from there.
