Kong

I however do have a suggestion for an improvement: Sometimes it is not easy to understand why a certain word follows another. Sometimes they do appear out of the blue. So I suggest that the reasoning is made transparent - either by the one posting or, even probably even more interesting, by the one following for the previous one. What are your thoughts on this? To be honest, I couldn't comment why Bruce followed Carrie with King, but I could explain that King Kong was my thought.

Nope.

The point is that there may be no rhyme or reason.

Sorry, Klaus, but there's no room for logic on this thread..

(Bruce, I got it [provided there's something to get], but your rules state it must be one word. Both posts before my ??? posts were multiple words, so did not stick to the rule)
