I played this as a teenager with my family, we called it the Alphabet Game and this is how it works:   On the left side I typed HealingwellLymeForum and on the right the Alphabet without the vowels.   Take any set of initials and if you can think of any famous person, actor, actress, writer, politician , inventor, any one famous with those initials, type it in.     The more names for the same set of initials, the better.  Not a contest, just for fun, LOL!   HB:   Harry Belafonte, EC: AD: LF: IG: NH: GJ: WK: EL: LM: LN: LP: YR: MS: ET: FV: OW: RX: UY: MZ:

I don't think anyone famous has a name with the initials RX so I found this even though it's kind of cheating!

RX:  Rx Bandits (a musical group)

Owen Wilson, great actor!  I loved him in "You Me and Dupree" when he found his "ness" LOL!

Wow, these set of initials are really difficult so I am going to cheat.  Maybe I should have reversed the alphabet with Healingwell..
