If you care to, vote for your favorites in the comments :)
The plural of the word "moose" is "moose," btw.
ReplyDeleteI vote for Stephanie's ... I like voting in Ghandis by sheep ballot. LOL.
Thanks for the clear-up, Matt. It's kinda like sheep, then, huh? I never really knew, I just knew "meese" wasn't right. :)
ReplyDeleteThis is why whenever I see moose, I shoot it/them -- there can be only one ;).
ReplyDeleteFun -- I liked Renee's -- sloshed worked perfectly and insect voting in sheep actually made some sense :)
Oops ... just saw that Stephanie's voting was done in cats, not sheep. My bad.
ReplyDeleteBane --
Are moose like Immortals now or something? Can you only kill one by beheading them?
These were great! How did I miss Mad Lib day???? I love it. Oh well, there's always next time.
ReplyDeleteThat's what I was sorta thinking. Though you'd need a sharp blade and super strong bis/tris/ and back to cleave the beast's head in a single blow :)
ReplyDeleteThey all come out pretty comical. I was sad that Middle Earth was eliminated, but quite happy to know that Hairclub for Men members don't vote in the beginning.
ReplyDeleteI feel said for the Moose, their plurarl really should've been Meese or even Mooses or Moosi. Moose just sounds so solitary.
What hilarity! A great way to chase away the Monday blahs... I don't have a favorite - they're all pretty crazy - though I was happy to hear that the Olympics won't be in Hollywood. It's already crowded enough on the boulevard.
ReplyDeleteFun stuff! I couldn't possibly pick any one line, too many good ones!
ReplyDeleteOk, I hereby declare that EVERYONE wins!!! Yes, you! You've won!
ReplyDelete;)
Bane & Matt: I somehow think the Highlander would have been much more interesting and/ or dull if the targets were meese. Yes, meese. I've adopted this as an official Word of the Blog.
You were talking about Highlander, right? Sorry if not... sometimes I am just enough of a dork to not know what I'm talking about :)
Just don't say meese in Alaska or everyone will know you're not from these parts! :)
ReplyDeleteFun Mad Libs! I read them at work- just what I needed for a Monday pick-me-up! I'm a big fan of the Hairclub for Men. ;)
These were really funny! If i had to vote, it would be for Bane's ... it was just too good.
ReplyDeleteOh man, how did I miss Mad Libs day? Those were so fun.
