What is a Mad Lib you ask? Well if you were born after 1958 (when the first Mad Libs book was released) you have probably seen a brightly colored note-book full of half-written stories in the bookstore. Those, in fact, are Mad Libs. A Mad Libs is a short story that has blanks where many key words would be and prompts you to fill them in using things such as verbs, adjectives, and exclamations. As anyone who has been to a tween girl’s sleepover would know, to play this game one person asks the others in the group to choose words to fill in the blanks without telling them the context. The story that results generally makes no sense and is highly comical. As a blast to the past, we had a couple of Hastings High Students fill out HHS related Mad Libs, and the resulting stories were as comical as you’d think!
One day at HHS, I was (verb -ing) kissing through the halls when a (size word) gigantic (animal) cow came crawling out of my English classroom. The (adjective) sweet (same animal) cow was much faster than I and soon overtook me. I was feeling very (emotion) depressed when it cornered me in the back of the (school subject) Calculus room. However, to my great (emotion) anxiety the (same animal) cow was actually very nice! It gave me a big lick across my (body part) pinky toe and rubbed its head across mine. Now we are best friends!

Weather plays an important part in our (noun/s) George Washingtons at HHS. What is weather you ask? According to (adjective) salty scientist, who are known as meteorologists, weather is what the (noun) fish is like at any time of the (noun) watermelon. It doesn’t matter if the air is (adjective) beautiful or (adjective) crazy, its all weather. When vapors in (adjective) ugly clouds condense, we have (noun) Katy Perry and snow. At lot of (noun) Santa Clause around the Hastings area means an (adjective) majestic HHS Snowday!

Our school cafeteria has really (adjective) funny food. Just thinking about it makes my stomach (sound word) squish. The spaghetti is (color) purple and tastes like (noun) desk. One day I swear one of my meatballs started to (verb) run! The turkey tacos are totally (adjective) caring and look kind of like old (noun/s) lamps. My friend Dana actually likes the meatloaf, even though it’s (adjective) smart and (adjective) witty. I call it “mystery meatloaf” and think its really made up of (nouns) stairs. My dad said he’d make my lunches, but the first day he made me a sandwich out of (nouns) trashcans and peanut butter! I think I’d rather take my chances with the cafeteria!
