Okay, I just bought a book of Mad Libs, and I feel we should play, so here’s how it goes. I’m going to give you the list of needed words. Reply and write as many as you’d like, but when I check back, I’m only going to take one word from each person to coincide with whatever word is missing. To clarrify, say I need an adjective, number, and noun. Person A gives me all three, and so does person B. I take the adjective from A and the number from B, that way everyone gets a chance to contribute. When I have everything I need, I’ll post the final story. The name of this particular one is Description of the Lovely Group that I am in. READY? OKAY!!

Thank you **Chronos** for such a complete list, and for the rest of you for contributing. I don’t know, I thought something like this would be lots of fun for the board. So com one you peoples, get with it!! If you check out the board, all you have to do is hit reply and add some words. You all know how to do that, and it’s the most mindless reply you’ll ever have to post (well, for some of you anyway). I still need about twelve words, so get to it!!!

It’s a game for two or more players. You have a book with short, pointless stories in it, except many of the words are ommitted. You get things like “The other day, [person] and [person] went to the store, to buy some [noun].” One person reads the list of required words to everyone, and writes down the words that people suggest. When all the words are in, the finished story is read aloud. Since nobody has any idea how their words will be used, hilarity usually ensues.

Okay, well, not as many people responded as I thought, so I went through, got what I needed, then went back through and finished it off. Here we go  
We are having a perfectly bibulous time this evening in teh callipugian home of TubaDiva. The roomas are decorated appropriately with many stylish privae detectives that must have cost at least 23 dollars. The guests are all explosive conversationalists and are all sarcastically dressed. Michael Ellis has been entertaining us by telling about the time he showed his frustrated borborygmus to Music Guy, who mistook it for an early American spork. The refreshments are bouncy and the idea of serving urine on the rocks showed great ambulant imagination. Visiting here is always a flatulent experience.

You know, I’ve heard that Michael Ellis’s borborygmus sort of _does_ look like an early American spork.

Good job, **El Elvis Rojo** , thanks for the game.
