Noticing that there hasn't been any activity in this folder for a week, I wondered how to get it going again, and came up with a game.
Take a section of the script, and play mad libs with it.
I'll start with a short one.
Adjective #1 (something odd?)
Noun #1
Adjective #2
"ing" Verb
Verb #1
Adjective #3
Adjective #4
Noun #2
So just post something like...
Adjective #3 - ________
...until all are entered, then I'll post the adjusted quote. (I think you'll recognize where it came from).
No more than two per person.
I think, therefore, I get bananas.
When in doubt, think about time travel conundrums. You'll confuse yourself so you can forget what you were in doubt about.
What's the difference between ignorance, apathy, and ambivalence?
I don't know and I don't care one way or the other.

Thanks for the replies.
You don't have to go in order; you can pick any entry.
Oh, and the nouns are singular, so I'll enter that as banana, BG.
Keep it up.

Verb #1
Adjective #3

Noun #2
Come on, let's see some action.

Thank you, Labbie and Darcy.
Slight alteration.
Adjective #4 should be a noun.
So we need:
Adjective #3
Noun #2
Noun #3
Oh, and I need another verb.

OK, here it is. I'm sure you'll recognize the context.
CLARK
There is no such word as ' phosphorescent.'
LOIS
Of course there is. Somebody's a
banana. Therefore, he's appalling.
CLARK
Traipse again.
LOIS
Are you jumping me?
CLARK
You discombobulate your slim desk I am.
CLARK
Told ya.
LOIS
You call this a giraffe?
The next person who has a quote, just post what words you need.

If people aren't interested in this as much, what about picking a word, and, like we did with banana, randomly placing it in quotes from the script.
Cherry?

Actually, Woody, I think the Mad Dog Lib idea is a great idea. It was fun to see the quote after all of our suggestions. I'm not reliably on the boards lately, but let me give one a try. Verbs 1-3 should be past tense, 4 should be present tense. Noun #1: John Wayne Noun #2: lamp Noun #3: pig Verb #1: catapulted Verb #2: hiccup Verb #3: pushed Adjective #1: post-modern Verb #4: sleepwalk Noun #4: envelope Noun #5: google Verb #5: envelop Noun #6: metamorphasis ETA: answers and another verb instead of a misidentified adverb.  I'll also mess up ... er, give a cherry quote. "He's a man. I'm a cherry. You want me to draw you a diagram?" :p

Thanks for the contributions so far, everyone. CG - I'm going to use "catapulted" instead -- since it's replacing a verb in the past tense. Darcy - Ack! The adverb was really more of a conjunction, so "just" doesn't really fit. Can I ask for another present tense verb instead? Sorry.

Not a problem. It just needs a little getting used to. Hey from the next game can we increase the number of words per person to three? It'll move faster that way and if we get more players then we can get back to two. What ya say?

Thanks, y'all. Here's the resulting quote:
My name is John Wayne. And you are
Kal-El, my lamp. The pig you hold
has been catapulted to you. That you
now hiccup these words is proof that you
pushed the journey in space and have
reached your Post-modern maturity.
Now it is time for you to sleepwalk our
envelope. To that end, I will appear to
you google times. Envelop for the
metamorphasis, listen, and learn.

Okay! Here it is! LOISI want one cumquat. One whole ostrich. Is that so much to ask? And what do I have to choose from? There's one phonewho could be really yellowish only he sneezes every time I try to concentrate
on him, and one calendar who's statistical to be with only he won't talk to me about his work and what do people paddy-whack about if they can't perambulate about what they did all day, and one stage who's out of this world... literally. DR. FRISKINI thought you'd given up the Acid fantasy. LOISMy jaw wants to. My esophagus is, um, jumped. DR. FRISKINSo it would seem. ================== Great job, guys!  So... who's next?

I explained to my 17-year-old daughter what this thread was about. She listened, gave me a bent smile, and said, "You people are stupid."

I've been observing this for long and I thought why not jump in and join the fun? Verb#5 peel Noun#15 mailbox Noun#16 cornflakes are these good enough?

Hi Mishmishat!  Thanks for taking part. I had to cheat slightly and change 'wiggle' to 'wiggling' and 'peel' to 'peeled' to fit better. It's finally done. Here's the quote! LOIS: This is so cloudy. You want a big baseball bat, you’re dizzy, you think it’s a simple isolating and then, the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals is involved. Hormone Security, paper intrigue, this could be it, this could be the mouse. But you have your font to consider. So what do you do? You want the whiskey, but you want your sword, do you forget the thingamajig, do you forget your playground? See I knew something like this was gonna happen, no matter what I grumble there’s always a part of me that wants to be wiggling something else. CLARK: Lois, calimary. LOIS: What did you just sing? CLARK: Lois. LOIS: After that? CLARK: Haggis. LOIS: That’s first time you’ve ever peeled me that. Say it again. CLARK: Cocoa Puffs. LOIS: That’s slippery, I like it. I never thought of myself as a rumaki. What’s happening to me? So, did you have any other names in mind? CLARK: Mailbox, cornflakes, my chumpy goat. LOIS: This is just fishy. Emma

Funny Mad Dog Lib, Em. I like seeing the replacement words in Lois' babble. CLARK: Lois, calimary.
LOIS: What did you just sing? Heh. Given that Clark's singing abilities have been so maligned in fandom, this tickled my fancy. LOIS: That’s slippery, I like it. LOL! Reminds me of Bobby Bigmouth - too bad I didn't give the word shrimp there instead of Rumaki. Let's try a short one: Verb #1: hallucinate(d) Verb #2: brush Noun #1: pajama(s) Verb #3: gobble Noun #2: elephant Adjective #1: slimy Noun #3: hell

Thanks for the word submissions, Carolyn and Emma. Anyone else willing to give me the final three? I need two verbs and a noun.

Thanks, CG. Here's the resulting quote (from Season's Greedings, in case it isn't obvious): MARTHA
(very stern)
I never hallucinated you, but right now,
I'd like to brush your pajamas and
gobble your elephant like slimy hell! Rawr! Go, Martha! Okay, who's up next?

The words always seem to fit really well. I can just imagine Martha saying that one!

Pronoun 1: you
Verb 1: fight
Noun 1: cocktail
Verb 2: hug
Verb 3: yawn
Noun 2: umbrella
Verb 4: play
Noun 3: lipstick
Verb 5: sulk
Pronoun 2: our
Noun 4: donut
Noun 5 (proper - a place): Hawaii
Verb 6: fly
Adjective 1: pretty
OK, let's see how this one turns out. Give up to four words each.

Thanks, Emma. Still need a pronoun, three verbs, a proper noun and an adjective. Anyone? ... Also, in the meantime -- another cherry quote. From HoL: PERRY (hopeful) So... you need my cherries? CLARK I think I can manage. PERRY Dang it, Kent. Tell me you need my cherries. CLARK I need your cherries. PERRY Thought so. I'll be on a plane in the morning. Meet you at your place.

Hmm. Either there's no more interest in the Mad Dog Libs or there's no one else on the boards.  Emma or Carolyn, do either of you want to finish it out by giving me the other pronoun, three more verbs, a proper noun (a place) and an adjective?

Hi, it is  no-one else seems to be taking part. I think they're fun and it dooesn't take a second just to suggest some random words. The ones we have done so far have all turned out really well.  at the cherries quote by the way!! That's the funniest one yet. Ok, Pronoun 1: you Verb 4: play Verb 5: sulk Noun 5: Hawaii Verb 6: fly Adj 1: pretty Hope these are ok, just off the top of my head but that's the best way. Em

Thanks, Em. Here's how it turned out: from "The Ides of Metropolis" DETECTIVE REED: How do you get you to fight that, anyway? LOIS: What? REED: Your cocktail. That hug thing. When you yawn your umbrella. LOIS: I don't know. It just... does it. Lois plays over at Reed's lipstick. LOIS (CONT'D): I sulk I had our donut. REED: You can. $1.98 at Hawaii. LOIS: Get out of here! They fly so pretty. LOL! I like the "fly so pretty" line. Thanks for playing. And another cherry quote (from "The Phoenix"): LOIS (CONT'D) (guarded) You're asking me out? CLARK Yes! You know.... like a cherry? LOIS (beat, then) A cherry? You mean a real cherry? Like where I take out my best cherry, the one I bought after seeing 'Cherry Affair', the good one not the remake, and put a dab behind my cherry, even though I have no idea why? What? Too many cherries?

That dab behind the cherry is interesting.
I do think replacing only one word with cherry makes it more focused.
I think, therefore, I get bananas.
When in doubt, think about time travel conundrums. You'll confuse yourself so you can forget what you were in doubt about.
What's the difference between ignorance, apathy, and ambivalence?
I don't know and I don't care one way or the other.
