Well, who knew? I played a little blog tag in February and it was somewhat amusing. But now it’s come full circle and I’ve been tagged again. This time by the ubiquitous Merbear.
I debated doing this since it’s the exact same game and rules it was just a couple of months ago, but it’s Merbear…duh. I have to play because she’s fucking awesome. Continue reading »

Last week, FOG had a Mad Lib Contest where I took out several key elements of a story and asked you to replace them. The story is one I wrote called The Spanish Main, which happens to be the most researched story on this whole blog (which isn't saying much). It's about pirates! For the contest, I used part of the first paragraph, which originally read as follows:

Dear Mr. President,
I’m writing you today to address a grave concern that many citizens in this country currently share. I know you’re still out on the campaign trail (even though you’ve already won) in an attempt to ensure that your constituents believe that Republicans are to blame when we venture head-first over the fiscal cliff, but there’s a more pressing issue to address.
I’m sure you’re probably wondering what this issue could possibly be. What’s more important than spending cuts and tax hikes? Is it the war in Afghanistan? The conflict in Syria? Gun control? Saving Twinkies?
No, Mr. President. This concern trumps all of those worthy causes.
The answer, Mr. President, is zombies of course. The zombie apocalypse will begin soon. This Saturday to be exact. The first day after the end of the Mayan calendar. The day the zombie uprising begins.
A snapshot of our impending doom, Mr. President.
What precautions have we taken to prevent this, if any? What plans are in place to quell this uprising? And for heaven’s sake why are we talking about banning guns when we’ll be overrun by zombies this weekend? I can’t double-tap if I don’t have a gun, Mr. President.
This needs to be addressed immediately, Mr. President. If we can’t defend ourselves from the zombie hordes we won’t be around to even go over the fiscal cliff. Will the National Guard be on standby? Will our armed forces be recalled to help protect our land? Have our police forces, EMT’s, and firefighters been prepared for what they’ll face?
If not, I have a helpful list of 5 things we can do to train our protectors for the coming fight.
Mr. President, I hope you understand the seriousness of this letter. The consequences could be dire if you don’t. We need to prepare now, while we still have time. It is my hope that if we accomplish nothing else in 2013, that we successfully suppress the zombie revolution. We can only do that if we’re prepared, though.
Are you, Mr. President?
Sincerely,
Twindaddy

After an overwhelming majority of readers voted that I should create the new Mad Libbed feature (7 to be exact), I decided that I should give my legions of fans what they want. It’s what any great blogger would do, eh? Without further ado, I present to you the first edition of Mad Libbed. Here is a link to the original post, if for some strange reason you’re actually interested in reading it.
So apparently it takes (number) years to get from (place) to the edge of the solar system. In (year), the same year I was born, NASA launched (name) and it is just now (verb ending in “ing”) our solar system. I don’t know why, but I found this very (adjective) while watching it on CNN. Some interesting facts about (same name as before):
- Every time (same name as before) transmits a (noun) it takes about 16 (increment of time) to get back to Earth from where it’s at.
- By the year 2025, (same name as before) will be too far away from Earth to (verb) with it.
- It will take (same name as before) 40,000 years to get to the next closest (noun).
I really don’t know what else NASA is going to learn from (same name as before) now that it’s outside of the (place). There’s nothing (that I know of) in deep space to (verb).
If you’re so inclined, please play the game and leave your results in the comments. Have fun!

One of my all-time favorite games. (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
Okay, this is a bit challenging, but quite easy to circumvent. How will you know that I actually wrote 500 words and removed half of them? Ha ha. You won’t! I win!
As a child, and even as an adult, I’ve always loved playing Mad Libs. Often times growing up our family game nights would include Mad Libs. Each person would take a turn asking for the words while the rest of us took turns giving the words. Then hilarity ensued when the person taking the words would read the finished product aloud.
As an adult, what I found to be even more fun is to play Mad Libs while you’re drunk. During a family vacation to Myrtle Beach a few years ago we did this on the deck of our rented condo almost every night after the kids went to bed. Good times.
I am contemplating creating a new feature here call Mad Libbed in which I will turn a previous post into a Mad Lib game with the goal of getting readers to play the game and leave their results in the comments. The goal is to get more reader interaction and offer something fun for my readers besides coming to this site and getting a) an angry, but funny, rant or b) reading about my life’s problems.
I think the challenge of actually creating a Mad Lib instead of filling one out would be fun. However, I don’t want to do it if people aren’t going to play.
So what say you, dear readers? If I do this will you play?
Since everybody is doing polls today in honor of El Guapo’s birthday, I’ll let you vote for it.
