Heeeeeey-

Well, it's about time I joined this thing! I read the posts all the time, and thought I'd give it a go. I have an idea! *lightbulb*

I don't think anyone has done this yet, but if they have- who cares? I think it'd be cool if we created a sort of Mad-Libs story. You could work in pairs, e/i:

First Post: the <noun> walked <adverb> to the <adjective> building.

Second Post: the cat walked quietly to the tall building.

*then the second post would also add a fill in the blanks portion for the NEXT person to fill out.

if I get positive feedback, we can start!

If I were to <verb> your <noun> would you feel <adjective>?

killer_koala · 08-02-2003, 05:12 PM

killer_koala · 08-02-2003, 05:14 PM

1. if i were to burn your toast would you feel sad?

2. or would you <verb> my <noun> instead?

1. if i were to burn your toast would you feel sad?

2. or would you borrow my crust instead?

3. either way, we can <verb> our <noun>, but only if <it's/they're> <verb> <adverb>.

killer_koala · 08-03-2003, 12:17 PM

3. either way, we can eat our breakfast, but only if it's singing softly.

4. because we only <verb> <plural noun> when the <noun> is <adjective>.

trisherina · 08-03-2003, 01:10 PM

4. because we only devour songbirds when the sun is high.

5. Can you believe that <noun> is <adjective><adverb>?

5. Can you believe that bacon fat is really unhealthy?
6. What a <noun>! I thought <noun> was <adjective> <adverb>.

Smartypants · 02-27-2004, 07:52 AM

6. What a bummer! I thought pork was grammatical frustratingly.

7. And if <pronoun> can't <verb> a <noun>, how can we possibly <verb>?

Hyakujo's Fox · 02-28-2004, 04:03 AM

7. And if I can't roast a piglet, how can we possibly eat?

8. It's not like I could <adverb><verb> a <adjective><adjective><noun> and call it <article><noun>.

Smartypants · 02-28-2004, 05:02 AM

8. It's not like I could mincingly lisp a sappy Broadway showtune and call it chopped liver.

9. I <past-tense verb> you before, you <compound-adjective> <noun>! I <past-tense verb> you never to <verb> my <noun> ever again!

killer_koala · 02-28-2004, 02:22 PM

I <past-tense verb> you before, you <compound-adjective> <noun>! I <past-tense verb> you never to <verb> my <noun> ever again!

9. I ate you before, you curly-tailed feind! I told you never to steal my spotlight ever again!

10. But if you were to <verb> my <noun> before <time of day>, perhaps i could arrange for you to be <verb ending with "ed">.

02-28-2004, 07:56 PM

10. But if you were to feed my bird-eating spider before 2:15, perhaps i could arrange for you to be rewarded.

I will give you a choice: either <verb> <possessive article> <noun> at the specified time, or my <noun> will <verb> you into <noun>. Remember last time, when I <past tense verb> your <noun> and you <past tense verb> so much, the <noun> <was/were> <gerund> everywhere? Well, compared with that, this would be a <noun>.

Smartypants · 02-28-2004, 08:43 PM

11. "Possessive article?!"

I will give you a choice: either pluck the's (?) bird at the specified time, or my arachnid will spin you into soup. Remember last time, when I conjugated your verb and you objected so much, the grammarians were weeping everywhere? Well, compared with that, this would be a piffle.

12. <Imperative verb> <reflexive pronoun>!!! I <adverb> <past-tense verb> my <noun> and <pronoun> wouldn't <verb> a <noun> or a <noun> if <Proper Noun> <subjunctive verb> to <verb> until <possessive pronoun> <noun> <past-tense verb>, because frankly, I don't <verb> you <verb> what you're <gerund> <dangling participle>!

Ain’t his/her/thiers/its a possesive article, honey?

I think this may have gotten out of hand.
