A portable short story that'll change every time you meet someone new. That's the whole point. To have a new slogan every minute.

Special printing is not required.

'who' is limiting. 'that'?

Too many blanks sort of destroys any meaning it could give me.

I think it'd be hard to execute this idea without having less than like, one or two blanks. Otherwise it just doesn't work:(

Yeah. I'd say it doesn't work well unless you can limit it to two or three blanks. Three MAX. Otherwise, it's too difficult/complicated/etc. But I like the concept!

it just sounds really sexual. not that I care, but I can't make it into anything that doesn't sound sexual. so, saying the exact opposite of everyone else, I think you should make it more vague. that way everyone does come up with a different sentence on their own.

it's not supposed to make any kind of real sense, that's the fun of it. being creative!

The whole point was to give you as much freedom as possible. I think having less blanks would make it less fun since then I'd be sort of controlling what you're saying 80% of the time. I wanted to give people as much freedom as possible, so I added blanks and little hints, and the rest is up to you.

Gee, uh, I guess I had a brain fart. Let me correct that sentence before it drives me nuts. I actually meant to say, "I think having less blanks would make it less fun for everyone, for I would be controlling what you're saying 80% of the time."

It's not really about making this complex story, it's about getting the point across in a quick way that you fill in the blanks and give a few fun places to do so and make a cute story out of it for people who are staring at you for a few seconds. The way you have it now it's not as funny because it's too much for people to remember filling in the blanks.

Sexual? Someone has a dirty mind!

Surely there is a proper term for 'verb ending in 'ing''. It sounds really clunky as is.

I agree with kooshie. Change 'who' to 'that'.

There is a term for "verb ending in 'ing'," but unfortunately it sounds worse than "ending in 'ing'."

Hahaha! I doubt anyone would even know what a gerund is! I like this as is.

i love those sort of things, but yours doesn't really work, but good idea i never would have thought of something like that, it would have been really cool if it was really long and covered the whole top

there should be a point to the story though.
theres too many blanks and not enough of
an actual story. the whole idea of 'freedom' of
speech is weird for this kind of shirt.

personally, i wouldnt want someone staring at
me for like, ten minutes trying to think of a
story.

otherwise, i like.

My whole "freedom of speech" talk was just justification for my choice in the number of blanks. As for a point to the statement, there isn’t one. It’s just baloney conveniently orderly enough to be labeled “correct grammar.” Plus a whole story would mean longer than ten minute stares.

I love it, but I'm a sad English Lit/Language slave. Works fine for me.

Tylwythtegs: Even in "official" Mad Libs, the blank reads "verb ending in -ing".

I think a slight tweaking of wording would alleviate its awkwardness while keeping its spontaneity.

agree about changing "who" to "that"
