This reminds me of a game I used to play during my mis-spent youth called Acronymania; it was actually quite fun. You try to come up with alternative expansions for acronyms; e.g.

PCMCIA: People Can't Memorise Computer Industry Acronyms
MCSE: Minesweeper Consultant, Solitaire Expert

Once you get the obvious ones out the way, the game can be quite amusing. Or maybe I just didn't have a life when I was 16, and I'm still searching...
You can play this online under the name acrophobia, acronomics or acrony.
