Today's tiny pleasantry is a plea for participation:
Call for Madness
Are you mad for mad libs like me? Yes or no, friend or foe, please answer my plea -- these are my needs:
1. Number
2. Two things you need to
survive
3. Favorite Season
4. Onomatopoeia for something
repeating three times (ex: “thwack, thwack, thwack”)
5. Size adverb **Update: me thinks I was tired when I wrote this? I meant to say adjective. Appologies for any confusion.
6. Color adverb **Update: again, I meant adjective. Sorry y'all.
7. Scary person, thing, or
animal
8. Common greeting
9. A complete thought, random
or otherwise
10. Verb ending in “ed”
11. What would your reply be
to someone saying, “You don’t look like you want to do this. Are you afraid?”
12. Place
13. Type of building
14. Flat object
15. Verb
There are multiple ways to reply: in the comments, any of the "contact me" options, or answer on your own blog/FB (or whatever social networking forum you prefer) account and then let me know so I can come take a look.
Check back tomorrow and you'll have your very own Mad Masterpiece. What better way to start off your weekend?
Thanks y'all, and just one more day til Friday? Righteous.
Moment of Magic today:
This is exactly how I was saying, "Righteous" above. And does anyone else feel like this has been how their week's going?

DeleteYou say "That's all I got" as if this is very little. Which is not at all the case. Love it, love it, love it. Thanks for playing along :)
DeleteWait! Is number six a color adjective meaning - pick a color. OR, did it mean, describe a color??? I went the "describe a color" route. If I was supposed to pick a color: cerise.
ReplyDeleteI know, I know. *Sigh* Is it obvious yet that I'm not a professional mad libs writer? I was putting Beta to bed tonight and realized, "Duh, Deb. You could have just said 'color,' not 'color adjective.'" because yes, that's what I was going for. Oh well. I should have had you read the rough draft before I posted it :)
