I used to have so much fun when I was a kid filling out Mad Libs. I found a free website that is called Mad Glibs-- check them out.
Oh and enjoy a laugh on me....
Hail to the Chief!
The president of the Las Vegas is elected every 72 hours by a group of people called the sleepy College. Each canoe casts votes in a preliminary hearing called a pillow. Throughout the campaign, the candidates participate in pressures and columns. Many people try to stare the outcome using polls and statistics. In the end, only one person is selected to shake the country as Bacteriologist in Chief.

Davida, Ralph & Goliath
Cuz' I had to share... a short story about a friend that Troy and I wrote.
There once was a Spanish fairy princess, Davida. She was very beautiful with long black hair, very big boobs, dark, thick eye lashes and was a total man killer.
Just when she thought her pet frog, Ralph, was about to leap away; POOF, he really was a knight in shining armor. They planned a fairy tale wedding and decided to not invite any one from the rich lands that they could see from the castle, not even her abusive, crazy, jealous sister. They had a private ceremony with the jumping of the broom and breaking of the wine bottle on the yacht and sailed off into the blue yonder. The princess even scored a designer dress at K-Mart prices, and took high priced photos that she showed no one.
Just when she thought her pet frog, Ralph, was about to leap away; POOF, he really was a knight in shining armor. They planned a fairy tale wedding and decided to not invite any one from the rich lands that they could see from the castle, not even her abusive, crazy, jealous sister. They had a private ceremony with the jumping of the broom and breaking of the wine bottle on the yacht and sailed off into the blue yonder. The princess even scored a designer dress at K-Mart prices, and took high priced photos that she showed no one.
Davida came home from her honeymoon, not pregnant as everyone thought she would, but with an EPIC zit on her large boobs. This thing stuck out and greeted all the peasants as she rode through the village on her prized ass. Davida couldn’t seem to get rid of this zit, so King Ralph decided to name it Goliath.
Goliath was paraded in front of the children of the village. These children so were mortified that they rushed to confessional and confessed sins they had only heard from their newly married aunts and uncles. These sins included “show me yours & I’ll show you mine”, “How big is yours?” and skinny dippin’ in the dried up pond. The priest immediately dropped to his knees and begged for rain to wash Goliath out of town.
But, Goliath decided to stay for several months. This scared King Ralph as he thought Princess Davida could only bear zits the size of small children. Princess Davida went to many doctors before finding the right specialist. This specialist, Dr. L. Natural, was able to lance the ripeness from her chest. Suddenly her big boobs became the size of grapes, and birthing Goliath’s would be a thing of fairy tales.
All was well in the land and the happy couple was ready to begin their family. But before Princess Davida could have tadpoles, she must introduce her parents to King Ralph’s parents. This meeting was to take place under the largest lily pad the nation had ever seen. Mr. and Mrs. Amphibious B. Frog pretended to be a happily married couple, yet have been divorced for years and accused of many crimes against escargot. They hosted Princess Davida’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Knight Glider, for a grand party. Neither of the Glider’s could hear a word that was spoken, but carried on the conversation aloud that played in their heads. For entertainment, Mr. and Mrs. B. Frog , hosted a bone-fire. On this fire they asked their other children to stroll the coals. But in the middle of the flames, the Frog children jumped to freedom never to return again.
This caused Princess Davida and King Ralph to reconsider having children and they planned instead to adopt many dogs. These dogs were all trained and given away to blind people to use as they cross the street. Occasionally these dogs would get confused and drag their new owners in front of asses.
Many years after their private wedding Davida and Ralph inherited Mr. and Mrs. Glider’s castle. They late at night in the middle of a rain storm and were never seen again by the village people again.
The End.
