Letter linking game

I know I'm new, but I thought the people here might like a little more variety in these lounge text games (don't hesitate to tell me it's lame if you think so, though).

So I propose this: I'll start with a word, and the next person tries to come up with a word whose first letter is the same letter as the last letter of my word, and then the next does the same thing to No. 2, and so on, like: this > sand > dog > grime > etc.

The first word:

See I would have thought that doh was representative of the word Homer because it's Homer Simpson not d'oh. A good reason not to use smilies for replacements in word games.
