Lately my kids are obsessed with Mad Libs. Having boys, you can pretty much predict that there will be at least two responses having to do with passing gas, throwing up, belching or some other disgusting words that sends them into a tizzy of hysterical laughter when read back to them in story form.
It struck me that the fine folks at Mad Libs would do well to create a book for bloggers and social media geeks. Here is my version of Blogger Mad Libs. I think I will call it something like Wacky Web Words. Play along, won’t you?
Yesterday I was writing a guest post for _______________ (name of a blog or blogger) called “How to _________ (verb) in ______ (number) Days.” Guest posts are a _________ (adjective) way to connect with a ________ (adjective) audience and potentially get those ______________ (plural noun) to visit your site.
When you write a guest post, try to keep it to ______ (number) character(s).
Once your guest post is published, it is important to promote the post on social networking sites such as _____________.com (color), _____________.com (place) and _____________.com (verb). Be sure to promote your post in ______ (number) character(s) and include the hashtag #___________ (nonsensical word). Tag as many __________ (plural adjective) as possible. Ask every ____________ (adjective) person you know to comment, _______ (verb), tweet and stumble your post so you can get as many ____________ (body parts) to see your post as possible. Do not forget the _____________ (type of worker) either because he or she can __________ (verb) your post on their iPhone.
Lastly, be sure to reply to all of the ____________ (plural noun) who comment on your blog post even if they do not agree with your ____________ (adverb ending in ness).
Did you do it? If so, leave your responses in the comments below!
haha, great post!
Thanks, Paige!
I’m going to have come back and try it out later.
Please do!
love it! I am sharing this one:)
Thanks, Heather! Thought I might try to make a couple of people laugh on this busy day.
Thanks to Heather for sharing the link with me. Loved this and the laugh that came with it! Thank you Jessica.
Thanks, Becky!
printing and going to do — will be a huge laugh around here
I may have to insert one passing gas reference as the mom of boys, too
This was too funny! I remember my daughter was the queen of Mad Libs. My son never quite got into them.
Yesterday I was writing a guest post for SayitRahshay.com called “How to wash in 20 Days.” Guest posts are a ridiculious way to connect with a silly audience and potentially get those kitties to visit your site.
When you write a guest post, try to keep it to 1000 characters.
Once your guest post is published, it is important to promote the post on social networking sites such as cyan.com, zoo.com and punch.com. Be sure to promote your post in 3 characters and include the hashtag #nanananabooboo. Tag as many purses as possible. Ask every goofy person you know to comment, swim, tweet and stumble your post so you can get as many toes to see your post as possible. Do not forget the Comcast Man either because he or she can delete your post on their iPhone.
Lastly, be sure to reply to all of the sheep who comment on your blog post even if they do not agree with your disgustingness.
This brings back lots of long car trips!
Hysterical. Man did I LOVE Madlibs. Good memories.
So Funny…..yes lots of burping and farting going on here too! The other day my oldest asked the youngest how he can make himself burp all the time. LOL I thought about Mad Libs for the boys but they are not there yet, but I LOVED them as a child. Great blogger mad lib
Ah… so that’s what I have to look forward to with my little boy? He’s such a clown, I can only imagine the jokes he’ll make up when he really starts talking. As for the Mad Libs, ohhhh, that’s a good one. I bet there’s some funny answers to be had with it… we should bring it to a PSMM event and see what comes after a few drinks!
