Mad-libs and Link Love

Written by WishBoNe on September 3, 2007 – 2:34 pm

Here’s a blogging mad-lib from Essential Keystrokes.

  1. Copy the unfinished story below into your post box.
  2. Fill in the blanks to finish the story. For most of the blanks use a blogger’s name, a trait, a post title, a blog title — get creative. Finish each sentence in an unexpected way. You can find plenty of links to spark your imagination at the A-Z directory.
  3. Link the text you added back to the blog or blogger you’re referencing.
  4. Be creative. Change the words or storyline as you wish in order to fit in the links you like.
  5. When you’re done, leave a link with the title to your version of the story in the comment box at Successful Blog.

Liz will do something creative with the links you leave. She will collect the links to your titles at 2pm CST on Saturday, September 7, 2007, that way folks who are traveling can have a chance to play.

My version of the story is below the blank one.

Title: _______________________________

_____ was _____ , when out of the blue _____ . You might think this is strange, but in _____ such things happen all of the time. Our brave and quirky hero knew exactly what to do — _____ , but our brave and quirky hero had no _____ .

Seeking help for this dilemma, our hero headed down the road to _____ .

The road passed three creatures — each of them was more interesting than the next. The first was _____ . The second was _____ . The third was _____ . Our brave and quirky hero ran the rest of the way, and when _she_ got there, she got another surprise!

“_____ !” our hero exclaimed.

“_____ ,” _____ answered.

“I was _____ , when out of the blue _____ .” our brave and quirky hero said, knees shaking. “Could you spare _____ ?”

And so it passed that _____ gave our brave and quirky hero _____ AND _____ and all was well.

You might think this is strange, but in _____ such things happen all of the time.

What’s underneath your clothes?

Eastcoast Life was trying to set up the posters for spaying, when out of the blue her courage was lost. You might think this is strange, but in the land of sotong such things happen all of the time. Our brave and quirky hero knew exactly what to do — have faith in Christ alone, but our brave and quirky hero had no interest in new food.

Seeking help for this dilemma, our hero headed down the road to drive while under influence.

The road passed three creatures — each of them was more interesting than the next. The first was Message of the Day with questions on Odex’s legal costs. The second was a heavily pregnant lady with 175cm waistline. The third was Keropokman at the smallest bus interchange. Our brave and quirky hero ran the rest of the way, and when she got there, she got another surprise!

Shanice!” our hero exclaimed.

“Oh Lucretius,” Endoh answered.

“I was setting up the spaying posters, when out of the blue my courage escaped me.” our brave and quirky hero said, knees shaking. “Could you spare good resumes?”

And so it passed that Endoh gave our brave and quirky hero some tiddlywink dolls AND tips on a healthier lifestyle and all was well.

You might think this is strange, but in the land of sotong such things happen all of the time.

    I didn’t know this until I upgraded to WP 2.3 and the link showed up. They switched to Google blog search instead of Technorati, I think you know.

    It’s a lovely writeup and interesting way of tagging.
