Not All Who Wander Are Lost

It's been a long blogless week, so to liven up the usual tedium of cath-up and excuses, Not All Who Wander Are Lost is proud to present our first installment of what we hope to be a very, very irregular feature: Overly Specific Blog Absence Mad Libs.

___________ (exclamation), what a __________ (period of time)! Tuesday me and ___________ (person) took the ___________ (mode of transportation) to ____________ (special event), which was ____________ (adjective) -- not a lot of (something there's not a lot of), but we saw ____________ (famous person) ______________ (gerund) a ______________ (flightless bird), so the evening wasn't a total loss. Yesterday I went to the ___________ (place you can buy things) and picked up a new _____________ (something you really only need one of), since the old one was starting to get ______________ (sign of age) and we finally had enough ______________ (something of value) to trade in.

Back at ____________ (place where you spend lots of time), things are going ___________ (how things are going). My ___________ (a relative) turned __________ (either a number or, say, the word "over" or something, I don't know, I'm really tired), so we threw a ______________ (party theme) party, complete with _____________ (party object) and even a whole bunch of ____________ (political party, plural), which was a ______________ (animal sound). Tomorrow we're all going to _______________ (place you can drive to), maybe find a good ______________ (type of restaurant) and ____________ (verb that describes eating) some ____________ (type of exotic food), since I've been having these ___________ (adjective) cravings ever since we saw ______________ (that movie, you know, with that guy from that other movie). Or maybe it was just the ___________ (something you eat, but not usually at a movie).

___________ (artificial, one-word segue). Check out these ____________ (yet another adjective) links I found: ________________ (link to a dumb flash cartoon), ______________ (broken link), ________________ (link to a pornsite), and _______________ (link to the least funny cartoon evar!). They made me ___________(verb) my ____________(noun) off! But watch out for the ________________ (something horrible, or just annoying)! Until ______________(something unlikely), ______________ (regional mannerism which expresses goodbye)!

Wasn't that fun? Feel free to play along in the comments -- simply cut and paste the above, and fill in your own inane content!

Comments:

Damn (exclamation), what a coon's age (period of time)! Tuesday me and Ray (person) took the A-Train (mode of transportation) to the Marlboro Town Fair (special event), which was tasty (adjective) -- not a lot of hippies(something there's not a lot of), but we saw Whoopi (famous person) writing (gerund) a cassowary (flightless bird), so the evening wasn't a total loss. Yesterday I went to the swapmeet (place you can buy things) and picked up a new toenail clipper (something you really only need one of), since the old one was starting to get cranky (sign of age) and we finally had enough bottle caps (something of value) to trade in.

Back at ranch (place where you spend lots of time), things are going swimmingly (how things are going). My step-grand-nephew (a relative) turned 9 3/4 (either a number or, say, the word "over" or something, I don't know, I'm really tired), so we threw a luau (party theme) party, complete with inflatable palm tree (party object) and even a whole bunch of republicans (political party, plural), which was a snort (animal sound). Tomorrow we're all going to Hinsdale (place you can drive to), maybe find a good Ethiopian (type of restaurant) and slurp (verb that describes eating) some Dim Sum (type of exotic food), since I've been having these tingly (adjective) cravings ever since we saw James Bond (that movie, you know, with that guy from that other movie). Or maybe it was just the spare ribs (something you eat, but not usually at a movie).

Anywhoo (artificial, one-word segue). Check out these delicious (yet another adjective) links I found: Funny Cartoon (link to a dumb flash cartoon), typing program (broken link), bad porn (link to a pornsite), and hysterical (link to the least funny cartoon evar!). They made me snort(verb) my ass(noun) off! But watch out for the snot (something horrible, or just annoying)! Until the blue moon(something unlikely), have a good one (regional mannerism which expresses goodbye)!
