Apropos of Nothing


Today's Sunday Times crossword puzzle (by Pamela Klawitter) has a "Chain Reaction" theme in which the clues had sequences of words with certain words left out. The chain of words, when the missing words were filled in, consisted of words which each be could be compounded or used in conjunction with the next: food court case closed circuit board foot locker room service road hazard light, and so on. A clever idea for a puzzle.

Or for a few moments' recreation, as in this little circular list I compiled on a scrap of paper this morning:

House Wine
Wine Glass
Glass Jaw
Jawbone
Bonehead
Headmaster
Master Class
Classroom
Room Service
Service Charge
Charge Card
Card Shark
Sharkskin
Skinflint
Flintlock
Lockstep
Stepfather
Father figure
Figure Study
Study Hall
Hall Light
Lighthouse
