Alaeha Posted January 23, 2004 Report Posted January 23, 2004 This isn't a madlib... but rather an observation... Purple Passion sounds like a perfume. Or maybe a body wash. If it isn't, it should be.
Wyvern Posted January 24, 2004 Author Report Posted January 24, 2004 Here are the madlib results, thanks to everyone who participated in this one. The original story segment used for this madlib was from Regel's Revisiting, an excellent story thread in the Assembly Room that has yet to be commented on (and which I'll be sure to comment on in the near future). The original segment read: It has been quite a number of years since London was my home. A university town and center of commerce nestled in on the forks of the Thames River. It's know as the Forest City because of the number of mature Maples that lined the streets. Shame is that many of those trees have been removed as the city kept expanding. I was in the east end of my old hometown. The urge to drive past and visit my dad’s grave was strong but I decided against it. Besides I carried him in my thoughts anyway. Instead I swung down Quebec Street and soon found myself in familiar haunts. The kid that used to walk these streets in fear had grown up and moved away but some of this area still lingers in the dark corners of my mind. Survived is the only way to describe this part of my life because I never really felt connected to this part of London even though I called it home for many years. The CNR tracks where we used to hunt garder snakes in the tall grass, the Western Fairgrounds with it's winos living in and around the race track, the smells that eminated from the Kellogg’s and Dare Cookie factories (which always made you hungry) and of course the Pepsi Cola plant were we watched the line on hot summer days, these were the landmarks of the east end. Then, I replaced various words with blanks to form the following: It has been quite a number of [A Unit of Time] since [Name of a City] was my home. A university town and center of commerce nestled in on the forks of the [Name of a River]. It's known as the [A location] City because of the number of [Adjective] [Plural Noun] that lined the streets. Shame is that many of those [same plural noun] have been removed as the city kept [Verb ending in “ing”]. I was in the east end of my [Adjective] hometown. The urge to drive past and visit my [Type of Family Relative]’s [Noun] was strong but I decided against it. Besides I carried him in my [Plural Noun] anyway. Instead I swung down [Name of a Street] and soon found myself in familiar haunts. The kid that used to walk these streets in [An emotion] had grown up and moved away but some of this area still lingers in the dark corners of my mind. [Verb (past tense)] is the only way to describe this part of my life because I never really felt connected to this part of [same Name of City] even though I called it home for many years. The [Three Initials] tracks where we used to hunt [A Type of Animal (plural)] in the tall grass, the Western Fairgrounds with it's [Plural Noun] living in and around the race track, the smells that eminated from the Kellogg’s and Dare [A Junk Food] factories (which always made you [Adjective]) and of course the [A liquid] plant were we watched the line on hot summer days, these were the landmarks of the east end. ----- After plugging in the results of the participants, the following stories are formed: Ayshela's Version It has been quite a number of milliseconds since London was my home.

Wyvern Posted April 2, 2004 Author Report Posted April 2, 2004 Thanks to everyone who participated in this madlib. The passage that I chose for this creative exercise is from Zadown's story "Flux," and reads: The Astral opened before him, deep and dark and tempting. He could see the lost paths nearby twisting their way away to other worlds, could smell and taste the faint old traces of the rare travellers who were brave enough to walk near his den. Above the Dreamer shone the blue fire of the runes that marked his treasuries, behind him dozens of portals glowed with red of hellfire, blinding white of heavenly orders and green and blue of material planes. He stood there, silent and in peace, lord of all he saw, eyes the rich blue-green of warm seas. The Dreamer nodded softly to himself. It is better to walk into the storm than cower and wait for it. I removed certain words from this segment and replaced them with fill-in-the-blanks, producing: The [Nonsense Word] opened before him, deep and dark and [Adjective]. He could see the lost [Plural Noun] nearby [Verb, ending in “ing”] their way away to other worlds, could smell and taste the faint [Adjective] traces of the rare [Plural Noun] who were brave enough to [Verb] near his [A Location]. Above [Name of a Pen Member] shone the blue fire of the [A type of writing] that marked his [Plural Noun], behind him dozens of portals glowed with red of [something Red], blinding white of heavenly [something White] and green and [A Color] of material planes. He stood there, [Adjective] and in [A State of Mind], [A Rank] of all he saw, eyes the rich blue-green of [Plural Noun]. [same Name of Pen Member] nodded [Adverb] to himself. [A Proverb] ---- Finally, when filling in the blanks with the responses of participants, the following passages are formed: Alaeha's Version The Slartibartfast opened before her, deep and dark and mimsy. She could see the lost liters nearby spring their way away to other worlds, could smell and taste the faint shaken traces of the rare stir sticks who were brave enough to skewer under her bed. Above Salinye shone the blue fire of the Cosmic2 font that marked her cows, behind her dozens of portals glowed with the red of a banana! No, wait, the red of the guy who slipped on the banana! The blinding white of a heavenly banana! YEAH! The inside is white! And the green and cow color of material planes. She stood there, frumious and in Maine, secretariat (in the third) of all she saw, eyes the rich blue-green of elk. Salinye nodded, very to herself. 21:19 "It is better to dwell in the wilderness than with an angry and a contentious woman." Katzaniel's Version The Shkoogle opened before her, deep and dark and droopy. She could see the lost fuzzles nearby yodeling their way away to other worlds, could smell and taste the faint fine-tuned traces of the rare spaghetti noodles who were brave enough to swoop near the tropics of Saskatchewan. Above Yui-chan shone the blue fire of the Comic Sans font that marked her giraffes, behind her dozens of portals glowed with the red of Santa Clause, the blinding white of the heavenly Easter Bunny and green and neon fucshia of material planes. She stood there, jumpy and chaotic evil, a troubadour of all she saw, eyes the rich blue-green of moons. Yui-chan nodded, almost to herself. "Life is not all beer and skittles." Editor's note: "very" and "almost" are actually not adverbs, though they seem to fit into the madlibs in this case. Degenero Angelus' Version The Spooty opened before him, deep and dark and geriatric. He could see the lost elephants nearby jumping their way away to other worlds, could smell and taste the faint amazing traces of the rare grapes who were brave enough to run near Jupiter. Above the Big Pointy One shone the blue fire of the Times New Roman (36 font, underlined, bold, and scored) that marked more grapes, behind him dozens of portals glowed with red of wine, blinding white of heavenly snow and green and perriwinkle of material planes. He stood there, idiotic and in rebellion, general of all he saw, eyes the rich blue-green of cups. Big Pointy One nodded superly to himself. Men who live in glass houses should change in the basement. Ayshela's Version The slithy opened before him, deep and dark and shiny. He could see the lost mice nearby sliding their way away to other worlds, could smell and taste the faint merry traces of the rare snails who were brave enough to skitter near the depths of Hell. Above Orlan shone the blue fire of the Haettenshweiler that marked his geese, behind him dozens of portals glowed with the red of a tomato, blinding white of heavenly paper and green and turquoise of material planes. He stood there, nervous and in panic, second lieutenant of all he saw, eyes the rich blue-green of tulips. Orlan nodded swiftly to himself. A bird in the hand is a messy proposition. Lady Celes Crusador's Version The Cryptosautis opened before him, deep and dark and unique. He could see the lost dice nearby becoming other worlds, could smell and taste the faint flammable traces of the rare planes who were brave enough to make near the Church of Our Lady of the Seven Pains. Above Gwaihir shone the blue fire of the Geneva font that marked his houses, behind him dozens of portals glowed with red of tulips, blinding white of heavenly roses and green and blue of material planes. He stood there, indecent and numb, general of all he saw, eyes the rich blue-green of lakes. Gwaihir nodded nicely to himself. "He who never committed a sin shall throw the first stone." Kasmandre's Version The Abstentatious opened before him, deep and dark and french-cut. He could see the lost singularities nearby tracking their way away to other worlds, could smell and taste the faint greco-roman traces of the rare theses who were brave enough to ingest near his stomach. Above Zool shone the blue fire of the confusing writing that marked his members, behind him dozens of portals glowed with red of wine, blinding white of heavenly wine and green and wine of material planes. He stood there, whining and in denial, a private first class passenger of all he saw, eyes the rich blue-green of privates (... as in soldiers). Zool nodded to himself, finally. "He who hops highest, hops happiest." ---- Thus concludes another session of Mighty Pen Madlibs... I now leave the floor open to anyone else who might like to host one, as I'd love to participate in one of these madlibs for a change..
