Not sure if this is exactly the right place for this, but I was watching the CB and thought the monks might like this game.

Basically, you try to come up with a three word phrase where the 1st and 2nd word are commonly found togeather and the 2nd and 3rd go togeather but the 1st, 2nd and 3rd all togeather sound silly.

I'm sure this game has been invented by a thousand other folks before, but we call it threeve because "threeve" was how a mock-Sean Connery pronounced the number 3 on an SNL sketch.

Here's a few not-particularly-good examples:

See if you can come up with some better ones!
