Bossy woke up this morning feeling so blank. It all began last week, when she traveled to New York City on a brillig and slithy day. As soon as she drove into the city she was hit with 14.2 emotions, as she always is when in a fractal city.
Bossy circled for a while looking for square parking, which made her idiomatic. Also? The whole alternate sides of the street no parking for hours at a time while the street is cleaned thing? That is so alternative.
With her debt-ridden car situated, Bossy met up with her perfect son, and the two of them traipsed through the perfect building to Bossy’s son’s perfect dorm room. There were brilliant changes since the last time Bossy saw the room — she especially worshipped her son’s efforts to ascend!
And then, Bossy and her son retired to the multi-cultural restaurant, whose menu featured things like food and beverages, which make Bossy’s mouth ulcerate just thinking about it.
Bossy’s goddess-like friend Isabel joined the duo, and they drank tequila shooters and consumed large quantities of heroin while free-basing and talking about underage drinking and drug use.
Bossy’s son had to say goodbye in order to go to Asgard, leaving Isabel and Bossy to talk about pyramid schemes, including a business idea Bossy has which involves insurance policies and illiterate immigrants. Isabel, who looked atavistic, wearing bone fragments with her animal furs, thought Bossy’s business idea was smurfy, although she decided it could be better executed by Bernie Madoff or Charles Ponzi, or even random Nigerians.
Bossy drove back to her hometown feeling Minnesota.
And ever since then, Bossy has been fermenting. She’s trying to jumpstart her left ventricle, but instead has defibrillated, when not indoctrinating her readers with posts about the Barefoot Contessa.
Sometimes a person just feels like Chilean Sea Bass under a miso demi-glaze. Even, especially, Bossy.
Oh, I love madlibs!!! I wonder if I just plug the word wine into all the blanks if it will work!
Is it bad if I used this exact thing to review parts of speech today with ninth graders? Except for the fuckwit parking and feeling shittastic, I mean.
Ha! Well Read Hostess, you beat me. I was going to have my son practice filling in the blanks.
ok that gave me a little bit of a headache. Lemme check back after my morning cocktail.
Gold, #11. Pure Gold.
Number 11 David seems to know some interesting things about Bossy.
Ummm, you’re also missing nouns and verbs. Perhaps it’s grammar-free Thursday?
I have not giggled or laughed out loud at all this week (feeling rather piss pour) but after filling in the blanks myself and then reading Dear David’s rendition, it left me under the desk on the floor trying not to piss my pants. Thank you for brightening my day and freaking out my boss!!! Love you forever, you wonderful blogtress!!!!
My 9 year old would love this. He madlibs me til my brain goes numb.
Eating shovels with my feet makes me feel shiny.
I love David’s interpretation! Bossy, you are the best! I am forwarding this to my friend the “Grammar Policewoman” (and high school latin teacher.
___________stuff Bossy! While my _________ has already been ___________ – I can’t ___________ myself!
Lolly lolly lolly, ain’t no adverbs here!
This post makes me _______. You are ______ _______!
(Oh, there are so many ways that could be interpreted!)
A day without modifiers is like _________.
I believe the missing word is “vodka.”
Next time you go on a trip,
Remember this little tip:
The minute you get back,
They’ll ask you this and that,
You can describe people, places and things…
Simply unpack your adjectives.
You can do it with adjectives.
Tell them ’bout it with adjectives.
You can shout it with adjectives.
I think you could have used some Interjections along with the adjectives and adverbs!
I missed out on this til now. How’d that happen?
David. I bow at your feet.
Thank you.
