Another thing I did with my "creativity" -- a computer-based MadLibs generator.

http://www.chantcd.com/madlibs/

Once there was a German man named Justin, who worked at Petco as a queen. He was like most men, except his stomach was a bit longer than most. He fancied himself pretty good at computers, so he went out and bought himself one -- a shiny, new Commodore 64. A few days after he bought it, however, he noticed a strange error message after he turned it on:

Insufficient water buffalos to launch Windows

"Slap mah fro! I just hooked up a few water buffalos last week! What's the matter with this thing?", boomed Justin.
And then he began to troubleshoot the problem, after first going into the kitchen to get himself some hamburgers -- he knew this might take a while. He set his food down and did some warm-up exercises. He bent over and touched his toes, then did a few cartwheels until he sprained his toe. He then decided it was time to actually look at his malfunctioning computer.
"Here's the problem -- I don't have enough water buffalos!", cackled the queen. "I should have been a PC Tech, or at least a con man. I guess I need to attract some more water buffalos... Only one way to do that -- potatoes. Lots and lots of potatoes."

So he went to his neighborhood Arby's to buy a sufficient quantity. But when he got there, he discovered they were closed!

"Oh well, I guess I don't need a computer anyway. I guess I'll just spend the money on ecstasy."

And so, our hero Justin hopped in his toboggan, went to the seedy part of town, and bought some ecstasy. On the way home, he was pulled over by a cop for fraud. To make matters worse for Justin, the officer found him in possession of ecstasy. He was arrested and taken downtown. His daughter volunteered to serve as his legal defense, which later turned out to be a mistake (his "lawyer" showed up for the trial wearing an ape costume!) He was sentenced to serve 125 years in prison for fraud and posession of ecstasy.

THE END

Here is an example of how these MadLibs are written -- anyone can write one!

Quote

Once upon a time, there was a boy named [NAME_MALE1]. He loved astronomy, though he worked as a [OCCUPATION1]. One day, he saw a dark red planet in his telescope. "That looks like Planet {Nibiru, Krypton, Jupiter, Mars, X, Zanax, Thor}!", he [SAID1]. 
 
But unfortunately for [NAME_MALE1] and every other Earthling, Planet %%1%% was rapidly approaching Earth. (In case you were wondering, that isn't a good thing!) In fact, %%1%%'s advent was a herald of nothing less than TEOTWAWKI (The End Of The World As We Know It). 
 
He splashed his recently eaten [FOOD1] on the floor, and staggered out of his bedroom. 
 
"[INTERJECTION1]! It's the end of the world!" he [SAID2].

and that becomes:

Once upon a time, there was a boy named Jeremy. He loved astronomy, though he worked as a weatherman. One day, he saw a dark red planet in his telescope. "That looks like Planet Jupiter!", he moaned.

But unfortunately for Jeremy and every other Earthling, Planet Jupiter was rapidly approaching Earth. (In case you were wondering, that isn't a good thing!) In fact, Jupiter's advent was a herald of nothing less than TEOTWAWKI (The End Of The World As We Know It).

He splashed his recently eaten fruits on the floor, and staggered out of his bedroom.

"Crap! It's the end of the world!" he exclaimed.

If you want to hear something really sad... there are now websites you can go to as a writer, and get random 'generators' for everything from characters and character names to events and whole plots.

Apparently the writer of today is too lazy to even make up their own lame stories. They now have to have computers come up with the cliches for them. :good-shot:
