I current am working my way through the Pylons Book by the estimable James Gardner. I have progressed about a third of the way through the book, and I think I might have an understanding of the magic going on behind the scenes. Tomorrow, I will work though as much more of the book as I can, and then turn my eye towards pyfacebook.
The end result of this whole bit is potentially a facebook game based on the old bit my mom and sister and I used to play---one of us would speak a sentence, then the next person would speak a follow-on sentences, et cetera, until a conclusion was reached (or, more commonly, our doctor's appointment or whatnot came up). Hopefully I can bring the joy of this game to adults everywhere, and potentially give children further down the line the opportunity to play as I had as a child!
