Something in Common Game

Figure out what the three physical items in the list have in common. Name another item that has that same thing in common as the other three and state what that common trait is. For example, here are three items:

fire truck, cherry, blood

One possible answer could be:

tomato - They can all be found in the color red


You then come up with your own list of items that have something in common and list three of them as the next entry.

The Rules: The things and their common trait should be something that most people, without any special knowledge should figure out. No listing of things you received one Christmas, objects in a particular Harry Potter book, things you see on your drive to work, etc. The common trait does not have to match the common trait used by the person creating the entry.

I'll start off with ...

piano, marionette, tennis racket

I am so cornfused. As far as I can tell, RT and Couriant answered each other's entries. Will one of you please come up with a new one?

A new entry consists of a list of exactly THREE items that share some common trait. A correct answer consists of giving the common trait and adding a fourth item that has that same trait. The person who answers then supplies a new list of three items.

For an entry of ...

OptiPlex, Precision, Latitude

... a possible answer would be ...

OptiPlex, Precision, Latitude, Inspiron
Dell Computer models

That's four. As Chuck said, list 3 items and the next player provides the fourth, and the commonality.
