This morning white fulfilling my habitual morning routine of watching the Today Show I learned about Mad Libs 50th Anniversary. No, I was not there for its induction into the world, but who hasn't spend hours on end of their childhood wracking their brains for justthe right adjective, proper noun, or adverb?!?!?!
In case you've been hiding under a rock for the past 50 years I'll fill you in on Mad Libs. According to Wikapedia, Mad Libs is a word game where one player prompts another for a list of words to substitute for blanks in a story; these word substitutions typically have a humorous effect when the story is then read aloud. Even though the game was actually invented in 1953 it wasn't published into books until 1958.
You can go to the official Mad Libs website and waste your day away playing Mad Libs. And, since I'm not creative enough to make up my own Mad Libs (potential fun-time round table game), I thought I'd share one I just did...

So, here's my story...
Ladies and gentlemen, on this jittery occasion, it is a privilege to address such a/an tan-looking group of dogs. I can tell from your smiling pants that you will support my yummy program in the coming election. I promise that, if elected, there will be a/an spatula in every zebra and two airplanes in every garage. I want to warn you against my stingy opponent, Mr. Polly. This man is nothing but a/an repulsive doctor. He has a/an shaggy character and is working apple in glove with the criminal element. If elected, I promise to eliminate vice. I will keep the leaves in the public till. I promise you tasteless government, damaged taxes, and boring schools.
