what does noun-noun mean?

Yeah, I actually got stuck on that too. Wasn't really clear.

what's a past partciple? xD

i'm bad at english

It means a combination of two nouns/one right after the other.
A past participle is a past tense verb.

English is a doozy, yeah. Maybe not as bad as Latin, but quite the rollercoaster.

Plugging these in, I'm seeing a discrepancy between the number of words needed for #1 and the blanks provided. I've updated the form, but for those that have started filling the previous out, it should be a noun, between 9 and 10

hiya, Eli

They're engaged!

You're a trooper, Biggs. ;D

I got all mixed up when I did my mad libs thread years ago, and yours is way more in depth.

But you clearly have a superior memory, because I don't remember that at all [D:] Dang, I'm getting old.
I'm glad you think I'm building on your legacy rather than stealing your thunder.

There's no thunder to steal.

MadLibs are for everyone to enjoy.

By and by, did you ever hear the origin story of 'steal my thunder'?

While we use the term figuratively today, its original usage — by English playwright John Dennis in the early 1700s — was literal.

Live theater productions have plenty of sound effect tricks up their sleeves, some of them centuries old. If the sound of thunder is needed for a stormy scene, for example, off-stage crew members might roll metal balls down troughs, grind lead shot in bowls or shake thin sheets of metal.

For the performance of his play Appius and Virginia at a London theater, Dennis came up with a new thunder effect, a refined version of the “mustard bowl” that used metal balls in a bowl instead of lead. The play was not well received, but the thunder was, and after Appius and Virginia was cancelled, the theater manager continued to use Dennis’ thunder-making method for a production of Macbeth.

One night, Dennis was in the audience and recognized the distinct sound of his thunder effect. According to legend, he leapt from his seat and shouted, "That's my thunder, by God! The villains will not play my play but they steal my thunder."

Isn't that the best?

Haha, that's great! I knew about the device, but not that it was the origin of that saying. There are still ones around today, actually. Crank operations like this:

Thank you!! :D i'm gonna send in some mad libs soon as I can. I've got a busy day today.

Captain Howdy: I did a bit of googling last night, and I found this: https://mrsdaffodildigresses.wordpre...-benefit-1793/ Now that's entertainment.

How do you get a real river filled with salmon, trout and whitebait into a theater?

A CHILD OF SIX MONTHS OLD.
They knew how to use caps in those days.

I submitted some!

Aww, that's what I get for checking this contest until the last few days.. ;___; I was hoping that I would have time to enter this contest. Guess I should I checked this out sooner.

yeah i feel the same. i wish i could have made a mad lib.

I filled out one of the libs so far.....and after I sent it I felt silly. Clearly I need to be schooled in how to do mad libs again XD doh!

The things you made me type, sir. You're disqualified [No, you're not.]

A little less than an hour left to fill the madlibs out, guys!

I'm sorry! Half the fun of filling out mad libs is the silly things you put in them!

I submitted one a few minutes late, but I didn't know how long it would take. Too long, apparently. > 3<

I'm accepting it because I'm still knee deep in typing. Some will be a bit late, I've done #1, and #4-8, so those will be up at 9. I'm currently working on #2, and will then move on to #3. Once those are all up, I'll get around to posting the form for you all!

Thanks! Must be hard work for you. XD

Go, biggles, go! I believe in you!
