COSMOS Day 16 (Extension) - Capture the Broken Pillow and Flag

As I am writing this post, my roommate suggested the I use "Capture the Flag" as my title. That's boring, and therefore, I decided to combine the elements of Day 17 into a title that "summarizes" what I thought to be important.

Let's break down the title:
  • Capture - implies capture the flag
  • Broken - implies my friend Nathan getting hurt
  • Pillow - implies this pillow fight in which my roommate participated
Putting the titles back in the proper chronological sequence, the pillow fight was first, capture the flag game was second and Nathan getting hurt while playing was last.

Skipping words between the title, one can see "Capture the Pillow" is an acceptable omission of a word. My roommate "borrowed" one of my pillows to use in the pillow fight. Or at least that's what he told the other contestants. He asked me if he could steal it prior to leaving. Therefore, he captured my pillow.

Still another combination of words in the title yields "Capture the Flag," as hinted in the first sentence of this post. This was a planned activity people could participate in for Monday.

Continuing from the other post, Nathan can be included in the people who became "sick," as he had to go to the hospital shortly to take care of his shoulder and collar bone.
