*******THIS CHALLENGE ENDED AUGUST 30, 11:59PM*******
You will find the winners of the Blogroll Contest here.
Greetings, all! Today’s challenge is a Mad Libs-style game. For those of you who know Mad Libs, you know how hilarious they can be. For those of you who haven’t had the pleasure, it’s a word game where you fill in the blanks of a story with words of your choosing. More often than not, the results are pee-in-your-pants funny. Especially if you’re not completely sober.
In this story, though, I haven’t specified whether you should fill in a verb or an adjective or whatever. Just fill in the blanks however you see fit. Be as wild and as outrageous as you want. Channel your inner Le Clown if you must. And most importantly, have fun!
For all contestants who want to play, please post your version of the story below. I’ll choose one winner. Each participant will receive 2 clown noses, for each participation – that’s right, participants can play up to ten times. The player with the winning entry will get 4 additional clown noses. Other bloggers can play, and give their two clown noses to the contestants of their choice! So rally your troops, contestants – it’s your chance to catch up, or to create an even bigger lead.

MADLIB TAKE#8
I ran into Le Clown on the street the other day. I was very surprised to see that he was CROSS-DRESSING with a SET OF NUBILE TWINS. I said, “Hey, ARE YOU THE THREE SISTERS AND, what the HEAVEN’S NAME are you doing with that CORSET??”
Le Clown SWAYED ON HIS HEELS and said, “I’m simply sharing my magnificent ENDOWMENTS WITH ANY THAT ASK, my friend.”
“Wow,” I said. “You really are A COLLECTOR OF ADVENTURES, Le Clown!” And I bid him good day. As I continued on my journey, I heard the TIGHTENING sounds of a LACED UP CORSET BEING PULLED TIGHT behind me. It made me WISH I WAS A LUMBER-JACK TOO.
Posted by merlinspielen | August 30, 2012, 21:52This one really speaks to me. It says “What the fuck??” I like it.
Posted by Madame Weebles | August 30, 2012, 22:12This one was my favorite…one. It made me snort water up my nasal passages – which isn’t a pleasant feeling but helps the breathing.
Posted by merlinspielen | August 30, 2012, 22:24Because Madame Weebles hears voices in her head.
Posted by Le Clown | August 30, 2012, 22:39HONOURABLE MENTION 2 POINTS!

I ran into Le Clown on the street the other day. I was very surprised to see that he was carrying out his plan to perpetually loiter in the street waiting for passersby with a story to tell about him. I said, “Hey, egomaniac, what the creative expletive are you doing with that Groundhog Day scenario??”
Le Clown struck a Jersey shore pose and said, “I’m simply sharing my magnificent social networking skills, my friend.”
“Wow,” I said. “You really are craptacular, Le Clown!” And I bid him good day. As I continued on my journey, I heard the typing sounds of a person behind me. It made me realize that the story had started over again with another blogger for whom Le Clown would perform outrageous antics.

Posted by Le Clown | August 30, 2012, 22:43Hey buddy, hope you’re well and all of that…certainly sounds like it!
I ran into Le Clown on the street the other day. I was very surprised to see that he was still conscious with a slight skidmark over his left pelvis. I said, “Hey, never a good idea playing chicken with a 200 tonne road-train, what the dagnammit are you doing with that pretend force-field around you…it’s just a pink plastic hula-hoop!!??”
Le Clown, dazed and confused, semi-sat up and said, “I’m simply sharing my magnificent miming skills, my friend.”
“Wow,” I said. “You really are the street entertainer, Le Clown!” And I bid him good day. As I continued on my journey, I heard the silent sounds of a practicing pantomimist behind me. It made me consider whether my decision not to reverse to make sure had actually been the right one.
A little late in the game…but hey…better late than never I guess…smiley-face!

Love Always,

I ran into Le clown on the street the other day. I was very surprised to see that he was riding his motorbike through the retirement village with a thruster strapped to his buttocks. I said, “Hey, what the moldy sock are you doing with that thruster strapped where the sun doesn’t shine?” Le Clown fell off his bike and said, “I’m simply sharing my magnificent skills my friend”. “Wow, I said, “You really are a weirdo Le Clown!” And I bid him good day. As I continued on my journey, I heard the strange sounds of exploding gas behind me. It made me wonder what he had had for dinner the night before.
Once again….I hope we are not too late. (the boys would be sooooo disappointed)
Perhaps I will get my 6 & 9 year olds in on the next one.

How great it would have been to have you for the contest, if only by your mad lib answers… And the fact that you do have a kick ass blog… Keep this one between you and I as Le Clown doesn’t do compliment.
