I remember playing a game called Ad Lib in my childhood; a seemingly regular text with words replaced by a blank, accompanied, usually, with the words' part of speech. After finding words that fit each blank's conditions, one ends up with a (usually) pretty funny text that is gramatically correct, but sounds totally wrong anyway. Below is an example of an ad-lib-like form that can be created using the JavaScript file I've written; please try it out--simply fill in each text box, and then press "Ad Lib!" to see the result. If you are interested in this ad lib idea, and would like to try customizing it, you can download the Ad Lib Creator set, containing the js file and a html file to read the js file, along with a readme.txt file with some hints. Unzip the above file, and then open adlib_e.html to see the example; you should only have to edit the contents in the first half of adlib_e.js (and I suppose the html file as well) to customize the ad lib. If you come up with a good ad lib, please send me the file or a link. I'll be looking forward to seeing a good one... |
