Does anyone remember Mad Libs? It was this little tablet with these stories and you had to fill in the blanks? It would ask for an adjective, noun, etc. I was just thinking about them today because my sister and I used to play with them. Does anyone know if they still make them?

*Myst stands up and clears her throat* Yes, I can say that they do in fact make Mad Libs...Not only are they a part of my family, but, I was a substitute special ed reading helper, and we used those daily! I love those games. And, the kids have fun while learning....<img src="biggrin.gif" border="0">

I hadn't thought of those in years. lol Those were so much fun to have around. <img src="smile.gif" border="0">

Funny, you should mention that, Myst. My sister is a Special Ed teacher and she uses them for activities. Not that we would ever play with them when I visit... <img src="biggrin.gif" border="0"> We actually prefer to play with the hidden pictures...

I had forgotten about Mad LIbs! We used to play them all the time! In 6th grade we had them in class and the teacher caught us doing them but we were using "bad" words! Its much funnier that way<img src="smile.gif" border="0"> Anyway, she called our parents and I got grounded for a week. Which remindes me I need to pick some up for my neice and nephew and teach them how to really do Mad Libs!(kidding)--not really <img src="smile.gif" border="0"> their just not old enough <img src="biggrin.gif" border="0">

Comedy Central (the TV station) uses a commercial for "Who's line is it anyways?" that is just like mad libs

My sister and I as we got older would make up some dirty ones too. <img src="biggrin.gif" border="0">

All I did with friends was make up dirty ones <img src="tongue.gif" border="0"> I actually still have them if you can believe that!! <img src="biggrin.gif" border="0">

I wish I still had mine. I think when my sister comes down from Virginia next time, I will buy some just to relive some good times.

Did you ever notice with the Mad Libs how the boys "dirty words" were always different than the girls'? Boobies, booty, tatas, thingie....etc?

Someone should make up a Mad Lib here and see what we can come up with. I'd do it, but I'm not that creative......anyone else???

Great idea, Myst! Another alternative is to find someone that has a Mad Lib book and type a page of it online and we can do it together.

I have the books! <img src="biggrin.gif" border="0"> I'll go bring them down from the attic tomorrow and post one up if you want! <img src="wink.gif" border="0">

I guess what I can do is post what words are needed (noun, adjective, etc.), you guys take turns filling in the words and when it's completed, I'll post the results of the story! Sound good? or do you have another suggestion?

Cool! Sounds like fun.

Ok then, it shall come to pass! <img src="biggrin.gif" border="0"> This outta be quite interesting. . . <img src="smile.gif" border="0">

Think you might have to post it in the freak file<img src="smile.gif" border="0"> hehe
