Take a quote, and delete out only a word or two to imply something else. The real test is to see if we can keep it cleaner than the reader's mind. 

Demo, highlight the text for the missing word and source.

A little rebellion now and then is a good thing.

Thomas Jefferson

A politician will do anything to keep his job - even become a patriot.

William Randolph Hearst

Democracy is too good to share with just anybody.

Nigel Rees


Let no one yield, we're on the field where deeds eclipse the sun; where the brave are told on a thread of gold, the tapestry is spun. As they speak of dreams, their armor gleams, this calm before the storm... Where all can see their destiny, the bishop takes the pawn.

    Duke, Za, and thepianist (edit: and panther!)have the right idea... I didn't think that it would be hard.

    The rest of you guys; in the reply box, highlight the text and change the text color to white. That way, the reader needs to highlight it again to read it. It's not something you can do in the 'quick reply' box, unless you want to type a lot of unnecessary code. 

    A guy could do great things with a gadget like that. Great things. - Carl Carlson, The Simpsons.

    I was hesitant about starting this thread, but you know...I figured you Simtropians were more than smart enough to take it and run.

    AN: Just joshin' you... don't take it serious. I'm sure Nebraska is tons of fun. Your state of residence is in your profile 'tombstone', click on any member's icon to view their profile. 
    And don't feel bad...WA state isn't much better.

    Eh, I'll give it a shot.

    Okay, to restate the game... type out the whole quote, and then change the text color to white for strategic words. That way, those words are invisible in the post until the reader highlights the text. 

    Another example, for those that missed the other members who get it:

    "...before this tale of bloody revenge reaches its climax...", from Kill Bill 2

    Another Pink Floyd fan, this is too easy.

    How about this one:-

    Winston, if you were my husband I'd put poison in your coffee.

    If you were my wife I'd drink it.
