So, I emerged from my burrow wherein I had been writing my Serious Essay on the history of classical mechanics, and I discovered that Premise Media, the producers of the Expelled movie, had sent out a whiny and cranky e-mail pleading that people take groups to see their little flick. (I didn’t get the e-mail, just as I wasn’t invited to their Potemkin press conference back in March, but I’m not jealous, ’cause I received much better things in the mail recently, which I’ll be writing about soon, Isis willing.) UprightAlice points out that the message really does sound like it was composed by Mad Lib.

ADJECTIVE critics and raving NOUN – PLURAL…
Let’s see how I do, with what I find close at hand:

from PHYSICAL WORLDS
Despite:
A “Top-600-DOTS-PER-INCH” opening…
Standing TYPEFACES in EMPIRES…
GAMING critics and raving REWRITES…
For some reason, Doctorow and Schroeder’s Complete Idiot’s Guide to Publishing Science Fiction (2000) is floating around the office.
I couldn’t fill in the words knowing what they would be used for, but I asked my wife to play along. Here’s the result;
Ben Stein’s OTTER is now in
danger of being GROPED
from LAUNDROMATS
Despite:
A “Top-42†opening…
Standing DUNE BUGGIES in TANNING SALONS…
Bizarre critics and raving TELEPHONES…
Woot-a-licious!
