Because, yes, it is annual.

What's a "MadLib" you ask? Simple! Imagine I have a little story. I take that little story and I blank out some words - things like nouns, adjectives, verbs, etc. Then, I ask YOU for the types of words I need and throw them in. The goal is to get something hilarious.

Those who play will earn 10 Community points and a special badge. 😎

What happens next? Well, my friend, that's where things get interesting. I will select a random MadLib puzzle from a new book of over 150 entries (which I bought with my own money, thank you) and fill in the blanks. I will then post it here and tag you. There is NO GUARANTEE that it will be funny - and that's half of it. The funny ones are true gems. How to get the funniest feeling? Read them aloud.

At the beginning of next year, I'll record myself performing the funniest one and share it will the group. What a great way to start the new year! 😘

Happy word-hunting!
