     I grew up with an aunt that was only a few months older than me. This was our entertainment on a very long car ride from Montana to Southern Cali when we were about 4 or 5. Like you, it is the only thing that kept us from beating each other and my grandfather leaving us in the Redwood Forest for the squirrels. haha

     I didn’t have siblings close enough to my age to fight with but I still loved this darn game. The illicit thrill of using cuss words wears off fast though.

   This game is awesome. Who could possibly have voted it as a fail? It must’ve been a slip of the mouse… I hope.

     I’m not going to lie. I honestly don’t find Mad Libs very funny at all. It’s just telling someone a random word that fits into their category, them writing it down and eventually, after this pattern has repeated enough times, they read some passage that makes absolutely no sense at all that uses the vocabulary that I had just suggested to them. Hilarious. But I really hate playing Mad Libs with someone who won’t accept a word that “makes too much sense to be funny”.
     Yes, I did vote this a a fail

     So people, you can bitch all you want (if you want) to me, but I just want you to realize that it won’t make Mad Libs seem any funnier to me.
     Just to let y’all know.

   I always hated these. Never knew they were called Mad Libs though.
   I’d rather play a word search or “see how many words you can make out of these letters.”

   Yes! How many completely messed-up things did you wind up saying with this?

     Actually, you’d need an adverb there. Sorry.

   Does anyone else remember doing Mad Libs when you were young and just using variations of bad/scatological(sp?) words? When you tried to make “ass” an adverb? Or was it just me? Dear God, I hope not.

     It wasn’t just you. You can find “adult” versions of Mad Libs now. Why I know this….

       YES you can! My sister in law got “adult” mad libs for my bachelorette party a few months ago. It was both fantastically dirty (we were about 3 margaritas in, so a whole table full of girls coming up with as many words for penis as we could seemed like a great idea) and delightfully nostalgic. <3

   My sister and I made our own! I think my parents only ever bought us one of the books, and we took it from there. We both got English degrees eventually. LOL!

   Mad Libs have saved many a road trip from steamrolling into carnage.

   Win!

    MadLlibs rock! Our 8th grade class took a week-long field trip from NY to Washington, D.C., and I don’t know how many books of MadLibs we went through. And of course, being 8th graders, we tended towards, well, not the most mature words, if you get my drift. MadLibs were also really popular on family road trips, too. Think of how many children were saved from injury (either from siblings or parents) thanks to MadLibs!

    My school’s newpaper contained a few MadLibs. We’re in 10th grade and haven’t played them since grade school. It was so much fun and brought back a lot of memories. Strangley we were still using the same words.
