Ok, let's play this game:

One person gives a name, then the next player adds a name with an association to the previous and so on, until someone closes the circle coming back to the first name. Like:

Socrates: Condemned to death - like

Dostoievsky: Whose father was murdered - like

Horus: Who was the son of a god - like

Jesus christ: Who never wrote his teachings, having them brought to us by his disciples - like

Socrates.

ta-da.

Ok, I'll begin:

Nietzsche: hugged a horse and passed out in the street - like
(just kidding - but it's true!)

Hitler: Escaped from death advised by a dream - like

Go!

Too easy.

Like

Aeneas - Who escaped from the burning ruins of his home to protect his adopted countrymen in a strange new land.

Like

Superman - who works for the Daily Planet and is secretly attracted to Lex Luthor.

Like

Lois Lane - who spends a lot of time writing about Supermen.

Like Nietzsche

Ooops. Sorry. Didn;t realise you only added one. Will start a new one out of penitence.

Apollo is frequently associated with laurel.

Like

Oliver Hardy, who was one half of a fat/thin double-act.

but, hey, did Aeneas escaped advised by a dream?

Actually I don't know how this can work better: everyone building their own associations or one person at a time with one name per post (which will increase randomness and might take the game to really funny places).

Ok, then.
(edited to say, dude, what a mess!
Nietzsche didn't count (I dare even you to find someone else who hugged a horse and then had a seizure in the street), so you couldn't finish with him. You should finish with Hitler)
Start again?

still missing the horse-hugging link, but...
any-hoo:
one name per post, shall we?

Yeats, who after dead had his body (well, his bones) reassembled from pieces from many different corpses. (This is too easy, sort of an incentive).

what's utterly weird is I wrote edison to go with cable, not underground - but it still sort of works.
