Snowflake Games

Mad Libs are
a lot of work!
Since it appears that Ben-ageddon begins on Wednesday (see below), I figured that I should post this now.

Let me start by admitting that I’m totally stealing this idea from introvert.prof, who was in turn inspired by Surly Temple.

However, knowing the creative chops the community has at its disposal, I really want everyone to play this game.

“I am (adjective) by the (noun) of (adjective) (noun), and therefore I cannot be held responsible for the quality or timeliness of my work!”

To paraphrase Bubba, be creative, dammit!

  1. Random Creativeness: I am spicy by the purse of tired knife and therefore I cannot be held responsible for the quality of timeliness of my work!

    More accurate: I am burned out by the water cooler of academic b.s. and therefore I cannot be held responsible for the quality or timeliness of my work!

    Great game, Pat! I am sure my responses are nowhere near as creative as the next ones!

  2. Spouse's random words:

    I am big by the dog of happy cat and therefore cannot be held responsible for the quality or timeliness of my work!

    My free-association words:

    I am smelly by the dog of brown shit and therefore cannot be held responsible for the quality or timeliness of my work!

    Student-quality words based on my recent work days:

    I am late by the slacker of whiny moron and therefore cannot be held responsible for the quality or timeliness of my work!

  3. Probably more true than creative (among them, these cover most of my students have disappeared or otherwise aren't doing very well):

    I am overwhelmed by the prospect of hard work, and therefore I cannot be held responsible for the quality or timeliness of my work!

    I am unfamiliar [with] the experience of actual learning, and therefore cannot be held responsible for the quality or timeliness of my work!

    I am overwhelmed by the press of extracurricular activities [or family responsibilities, or paid work], and therefore I cannot be held responsible for the quality or timeliness of my work!

  4. I am (being wanked off) by the (wife) of (my) (professor) and therefore I cannot be held responsible for the quality or timeliness of my work!
