The McDonalds tend to play fast and loose with the rules of the game.

Under the letter B.

Things in a park: Big Bullies.
Things that jump/bounce: Unless the entire brood was born invalid, I contend that Bambi's Babies must be accurate.

Under the letter I.

Farm animals: Irritated chickens.

Under the letter E:

Crimes: Eating the Elderly.

Book titles: Old Man and the Ocean.
