Part I: In Anticipation of the Jaded Shaft

Bethany is approximately 4.2 times more brilliant than I, and she of course came up with the solution to our little Jaded Shaft story stalemate. Mad Libs! Okay, now, as a kid, I have to admit I found Mad Libs to be about as interesting as toe jam, but as a frustrated English major with a raunchy sense of humor, I can dig the charms of Bethany's list.

So here's the deal. You provide a list of words that match the list below. Be creative. Make them funny, or weird, or nasty, or sexy, or off the wall, or all of those, or none of those. Bethany will plug the words into the story, and then the fun begins. (Did I get that right?)

I forgot to address the issue of prizes for the person who produces the best list of words...It could be a complete collection of my books, but I'm not sure anyone would actually want to win that. Or if you already have some of my books I could send you the ones you don't have...

OR, the prize could be an advanced copy of The Sex Quotient, which isn't out yet but which I have like a zillion copies of jammed in my closet now. You could be the first to read it! Aside from my poor editor and copy editor, of course.

Oh crap, I was in the middle of making my list and my internet connection screwed up and I lost it. Okay, will try again later. I'm unmotivated now.

Hmm, I know a critique partner who'd LOVE a copy of TSQ...

I don't know how to play mad libs. I think I've played it once, but I can't remember how. So I'm guessing it's kind of like going to the psychiatrist and I'm supposed to type the first word that comes to mind? If I'm wrong, it's your fault for not explaining things more thoroughly.

article of clothing - bra

exclamation - Shit!

body part - balls

article of clothing - net, but that's not an article of clothing. Um, vest.

adjective - red

adjective - I want to say bed, but that's not an adjective. Messy, that's an adjective.

verb - fast

body part - butt

body part - arm

sexual position - 69

Oh, crap, my anonymous posting didn't work!

Quick, Jamie, make me anonymous.

It worked when I previewed, but not when I published.

Crap.

After reading Melissa's list I need time to think. I can't be that funny without considerable effort.

4.2 times as brilliant as you? As I recall, you were the recipient of our high school's English Award, weren't you? If I were truly brilliant I would have totally won the high school English Award, and that would have been the apex of my life. . . .

We've got some good lists going here, I may just have to plug them into the story and see what we come up with . . . just for my own personal amusement, we'll keep the contest going until Jamie says to stop. She is the boss around here.

Oh, speaking of bosses ( or mothers), where has the instigator of the Jaded Shaft, the genius who first mentioned this lovely phrase, been? Sherry I'm talking about you?

Okay, I thought the idea was to write down the FIRST word that came to mind. That's why my list is so crappy.

You never know Cindy, yours might end up being the funniest when put into the story. Maybe the over-the-top stuff isn't as good when put into context.

Hi Jamie~

I'm one of Bethany's critique partners! I'm looking forward to meeting you at Nationals. I love this Mad Libs thingy and if I wasn't so damn lazy I'd make a list. :)

LOL Sorry, Cindy. I spent about 30 minutes on mine. I was just thinking a copy of TSQ would be mega-sweet. And I was bored. :-)

 
At 11:11 PM, Blogger Jamie Sobrato said...

Coming Soon? Tim, you are NASTY.

Ahem. :-) Just the way I like my men.

 
At 11:12 PM, Blogger Jamie Sobrato said...

Hi Steph! Looking foward to meeting you too. I will have to start a Who's Attending National Roll Call list soon, so we Naked Page people can be sure to hook up.

 
At 11:14 PM, Blogger Jamie Sobrato said...

Jaded Shaft, lotus flower...Mom, I dunno what kinda books you've been reading, but, um, just sell them on Ebay and don't send them to me. ;-)

 
At 11:18 PM, Blogger Jamie Sobrato said...

Bethany, winning our high school's English award may indeed have been the pinnacle of my sad little life...at least you have much more impressive acheivements to look forward to.

 
At 6:50 AM, Anonymous Anonymous said...

Ahh, yes Jamie, the high school english award must have eclipsed getting an agent, winning a golden heart, finaling in the ritas, holding your first book, your second book, your third book (shall I continue?)

I was just saying that with a little more validation of my "genius-ness" I might have decided to wander around writing obscure literary pieces and complaining that nobody "gets" me, rather than whatever it is I'm doing now.

 
At 1:18 PM, Blogger Jamie Sobrato said...

Bethany, if I saved you from a life of writing obscure literary fiction by snatching the Bullitt Central High English Award from your deserving hands, then I think I did you a favor...because what you're writing now is really very good, both smart AND accessible to people who don't have their heads up their own asses.

I will now work on putting the word lists into the stories. I copied and pasted them, and it came up to 13 pages on my word processing program, then I deleted all the pictures of Jamie and it was only 3 pages.

 
At 7:56 PM, Blogger Jamie Sobrato said...

You deleted the only stuff that mattered!

I'm an angry liberal but I don't see the connection between this and all these words.

 
At 9:56 AM, Blogger Jamie Sobrato said...

Okay, I'm slow, Leslie. It took me about five reads to catch your joke. :-)

 
At 9:56 AM, Blogger Jamie Sobrato said...

Bethany, I can start a new entry for the completed Mad Libs.

 
At 1:14 PM, Anonymous Anonymous said...

Okay- why don't you start a new entry- explain what we did and how we're gonna pick the winner???? voting, the one that makes the most people laugh out loud? the dirtiest story?

I'll cut and paste each person's as a separate comment and let everybody know when they are all posted so voting, commenting, or whatever can commence. In fact I'll work on this more now. I've done the ones at the beginning- Cindy and Melissa, the ones at the end- but not the three in the middle. I'm not going to put the names on them, but obviously if you want you can come back to this thread and look them up!

Things that don't and shouldn't dangle

Oh, and somebody tell Cindy that insatiable is not a verb. So I made it sate. Also she put fast as a verb- as in not eating? it sounds a little weird though.

If I were to do this again I would be more specific about certain ones- like things that dangle. We have some things dangling that don't like houses. But some people's nouns ended up being dangling things so that worked out okay.

Oh, and if anybody wants a different actor than Jude Law to star in their Jaded Shaft the movie, they'd better let me know quick what actor they want. . .

I want The Rock to be the Jaded Shaft star. I mean, I'm kind of picturing JS as a lot like that character The Rock played in Be Cool. The gay bodyguard, I mean.

OMG, that means the Jaded Shaft did a gay hillbilly ho down video. It was in the special features of the "Be Cool" DVD.
