For example, I don’t know where I’d be without &lt;u&gt;milkshakes&lt;/u&gt;. Or Fluffy, my precious pet &lt;u&gt;platypus&lt;/u&gt;. Or even &lt;u&gt;emancipating&lt;/u&gt; on a Friday night. These are all things that I &lt;u&gt;phonetically&lt;/u&gt; take for granted. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I asked my friend &lt;u&gt;Demetris&lt;/u&gt; what he was thankful for, and he said “the smell of hot &lt;u&gt;chipmunks&lt;/u&gt; in the morning.” I thought that was a very &lt;u&gt;dangerous&lt;/u&gt; choice. He then mentioned that his family was of &lt;u&gt;Nicaraguan&lt;/u&gt; descent, and didn’t actually celebrate Thanksgiving. I asked what they celebrated instead, and found out that the &lt;u&gt;Nicaraguan&lt;/u&gt; alternative to Thanksgiving was called “Kul Uluk,” which roughly translates to “Day of &lt;u&gt;Slicing&lt;/u&gt; &lt;u&gt;Endoplasmic Reticulum&lt;/u&gt;.” He then showed me some footage of a traditional “Kul Uluk” celebration:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="425" height="350"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/LbhYQL-OYyw"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="wmode" value="transparent"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/LbhYQL-OYyw" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I never knew that before! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I’ll just add that to the list of things to be thankful for!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;by &lt;b&gt;Genevieve Macintyre&lt;/b&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When most people think of Thanksgiving, they think of &lt;u&gt;dunking&lt;/u&gt; turkeys and spending time with family and &lt;u&gt;papers&lt;/u&gt;, but for me, Thanksgiving is a time to reflect.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ever since the Pilgrims landed on Plymouth &lt;u&gt;Lamp&lt;/u&gt; in the year &lt;u&gt;99&lt;/u&gt;, we’ve celebrated Thanksgiving as an opportunity to think about the things for which we are grateful.

These are all things that I &lt;u&gt;drunkenly&lt;/u&gt; take for granted. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I asked my friend &lt;u&gt;Daisy&lt;/u&gt; what she was thankful for, and she said “the smell of hot &lt;u&gt;lightbulbs&lt;/u&gt; in the morning.” I thought that was a very &lt;u&gt;stealthy&lt;/u&gt; choice. She then mentioned that her family was of &lt;u&gt;Russian&lt;/u&gt; descent, and didn’t actually celebrate Thanksgiving. I asked what they celebrated instead, and found out that the &lt;u&gt;Russian&lt;/u&gt; alternative to Thanksgiving was called “Kul Uluk,” which roughly translates to “Day of &lt;u&gt;Bouncing&lt;/u&gt; &lt;u&gt;Ocean&lt;/u&gt;.” She then showed me some footage of a traditional “Kul Uluk” celebration:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="425" height="350"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/pSIbfzK2spg"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="wmode" value="transparent"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/pSIbfzK2spg" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I never knew that before! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I’ll just add that to the list of things to be thankful for!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;by &lt;b&gt;Laura&lt;/b&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When most people think of Thanksgiving, they think of &lt;u&gt;praying&lt;/u&gt; turkeys and spending time with family and &lt;u&gt;suspenders&lt;/u&gt;, but for me, Thanksgiving is a time to reflect.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ever since the Pilgrims landed on Plymouth &lt;u&gt;Carcass&lt;/u&gt; in the year &lt;u&gt;21&lt;/u&gt;, we’ve celebrated Thanksgiving as an opportunity to think about the things for which we are grateful.

These are all things that I &lt;u&gt;noisily&lt;/u&gt; take for granted. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I asked my friend &lt;u&gt;Aaron "Stinky" Feldman&lt;/u&gt; what he was thankful for, and he said “the smell of hot &lt;u&gt;charters&lt;/u&gt; in the morning.” I thought that was a very &lt;u&gt;arthritic&lt;/u&gt; choice. He then mentioned that his family was of &lt;u&gt;Venezuelan&lt;/u&gt; descent, and didn’t actually celebrate Thanksgiving. I asked what they celebrated instead, and found out that the &lt;u&gt;Venezuelan&lt;/u&gt; alternative to Thanksgiving was called “Kul Uluk,” which roughly translates to “Day of &lt;u&gt;Misspelling&lt;/u&gt; &lt;u&gt;Cactus&lt;/u&gt;.” He then showed me some footage of a traditional “Kul Uluk” celebration:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="425" height="350"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/CQzUsTFqtW0"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="wmode" value="transparent"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/CQzUsTFqtW0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I never knew that before! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I’ll just add that to the list of things to be thankful for!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;by &lt;b&gt;Pat Craven&lt;/b&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When most people think of Thanksgiving, they think of &lt;u&gt;plowing&lt;/u&gt; turkeys and spending time with family and &lt;u&gt;bow ties&lt;/u&gt;, but for me, Thanksgiving is a time to reflect.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ever since the Pilgrims landed on Plymouth &lt;u&gt;Plunger&lt;/u&gt; in the year &lt;u&gt;slevin&lt;/u&gt;, we’ve celebrated Thanksgiving as an opportunity to think about the things for which we are grateful. For example, I don’t know where I’d be without &lt;u&gt;fingers&lt;/u&gt;. Or Fluffy, my precious pet &lt;u&gt;t. rex&lt;/u&gt;. Or even &lt;u&gt;skating&lt;/u&gt; on a Friday night. These are all things that I &lt;u&gt;sloppily&lt;/u&gt; take for granted. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I asked my friend &lt;u&gt;O.J. Simpson&lt;/u&gt; what he was thankful for, and he said “the smell of hot &lt;u&gt;crusty socks&lt;/u&gt; in the morning.” I thought that was a very &lt;u&gt;magical&lt;/u&gt; choice. He then mentioned that his family was of &lt;u&gt;Half Jewish Half Chinese&lt;/u&gt; descent, and didn’t actually celebrate Thanksgiving. I asked what they celebrated instead, and found out that the &lt;u&gt;Half Jewish Half Chinese&lt;/u&gt; alternative to Thanksgiving was called “Kul Uluk,” which roughly translates to “Day of &lt;u&gt;Puffing&lt;/u&gt; &lt;u&gt;Lightning Bolt&lt;/u&gt;.” He then showed me some footage of a traditional “Kul Uluk” celebration:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="425" height="350"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/mVsXURSE2uA"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="wmode" value="transparent"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/mVsXURSE2uA" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I never knew that before! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I’ll just add that to the list of things to be thankful for!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;by &lt;b&gt;Pop-Pops&lt;/b&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When most people think of Thanksgiving, they think of &lt;u&gt;thanking&lt;/u&gt; turkeys and spending time with family and &lt;u&gt;fish&lt;/u&gt;, but for me, Thanksgiving is a time to reflect.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ever since the Pilgrims landed on Plymouth &lt;u&gt;Tuna&lt;/u&gt; in the year &lt;u&gt;7&lt;/u&gt;, we’ve celebrated Thanksgiving as an opportunity to think about the things for which we are grateful.

These are all things that I &lt;u&gt;swimmingly&lt;/u&gt; take for granted. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I asked my friend &lt;u&gt;Harold&lt;/u&gt; what he was thankful for, and he said “the smell of hot &lt;u&gt;sharks&lt;/u&gt; in the morning.” I thought that was a very &lt;u&gt;fishy&lt;/u&gt; choice. He then mentioned that his family was of &lt;u&gt;Japanese&lt;/u&gt; descent, and didn’t actually celebrate Thanksgiving.

For example, I don’t know where I’d be without &lt;u&gt;finger nails&lt;/u&gt;. Or Fluffy, my precious pet &lt;u&gt;zebra&lt;/u&gt;. Or even &lt;u&gt;sucking&lt;/u&gt; on a Friday night. These are all things that I &lt;u&gt;slowly&lt;/u&gt; take for granted. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I asked my friend &lt;u&gt;Dilworth&lt;/u&gt; what he was thankful for, and he said “the smell of hot &lt;u&gt;unicorns&lt;/u&gt; in the morning.” I thought that was a very &lt;u&gt;fuzzy&lt;/u&gt; choice. He then mentioned that his family was of &lt;u&gt;German&lt;/u&gt; descent, and didn’t actually celebrate Thanksgiving. I asked what they celebrated instead, and found out that the &lt;u&gt;German&lt;/u&gt; alternative to Thanksgiving was called “Kul Uluk,” which roughly translates to “Day of &lt;u&gt;Lifting&lt;/u&gt; &lt;u&gt;Cell Phone&lt;/u&gt;.” He/She then showed me some footage of a traditional “Kul Uluk” celebration:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="425" height="350"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/30o0rurFoBE"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="wmode" value="transparent"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/30o0rurFoBE" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I never knew that before! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I’ll just add that to the list of things to be thankful for!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;by &lt;b&gt;Eric A.&lt;/b&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When most people think of Thanksgiving, they think of &lt;u&gt;smashing&lt;/u&gt; turkeys and spending time with family and &lt;u&gt;tongs&lt;/u&gt;, but for me, Thanksgiving is a time to reflect.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ever since the Pilgrims landed on Plymouth &lt;u&gt;Barnacle&lt;/u&gt; in the year &lt;u&gt;73&lt;/u&gt;, we’ve celebrated Thanksgiving as an opportunity to think about the things for which we are grateful.

These are all things that I &lt;u&gt;swimmingly&lt;/u&gt; take for granted. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I asked my friend &lt;u&gt;Ishmael&lt;/u&gt; what he was thankful for, and he said “the smell of hot &lt;u&gt;punches&lt;/u&gt; in the morning.” I thought that was a very &lt;u&gt;shallow&lt;/u&gt; choice. He then mentioned that his family was of &lt;u&gt;Cambodian&lt;/u&gt; descent, and didn’t actually celebrate Thanksgiving.

Whether I’m traveling to &lt;u&gt;Yellowknife&lt;/u&gt; or &lt;u&gt;Beijing&lt;/u&gt;, no other company offers me as &lt;u&gt;delicate&lt;/u&gt; service as Via rail. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today, for example, when I went to buy my ticket to &lt;u&gt;Owen Sound&lt;/u&gt;, the lady at the kiosk treated me &lt;u&gt;loftily&lt;/u&gt;, making me feel very &lt;u&gt;putrid&lt;/u&gt;. The train itself left only &lt;u&gt;14&lt;/u&gt; minutes late- a new record!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While on the train, I was offered a wide selection of foods to purchase. The grilled &lt;u&gt;hamburger&lt;/u&gt; looked a little stale, so I decided to order the &lt;u&gt;finger&lt;/u&gt; instead. Mmm!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The man sitting next to me was certainly fun company! He talked to me at length about his &lt;u&gt;canister&lt;/u&gt; problems, which made the Via rail experience that much more &lt;u&gt;shifty&lt;/u&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Best of all, I had a window seat, allowing me to look out at the majestic landscape. Here’s a photo took outside my window about halfway through the trip:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_zqczSiommkA/Rwc6GI5hbtI/AAAAAAAAACc/SWBvSRizZ6c/s1600-h/300px-Villianc.svg.png"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_zqczSiommkA/Rwc6GI5hbtI/AAAAAAAAACc/SWBvSRizZ6c/s400/300px-Villianc.svg.png" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5118123378672234194" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By the time I reached &lt;u&gt;Owen Sound&lt;/u&gt;, although my &lt;u&gt;throat&lt;/u&gt; had gone completely numb from the seats, I was sad that my Via rail trip was over.

Or maybe that they can’t get along with your &lt;u&gt;great aunt Guadalupe&lt;/u&gt;? Or perhaps that they have a &lt;a href="http://www.ambrosian.org/"target="_blank"&gt;bizarre sexual fetish&lt;/a&gt;?

But &lt;u&gt;frolic&lt;/u&gt; not!

Are these changes, particularly the bolding, for the better? Or do they make the pieces distracting? Let me know!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyways, the words I need for the next Mad Blog (entitled "A Guide to Dating, Part 1: Meeting the Right Person) are as follows (again, I'm going to be toying with some ideas, so bear with me):&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;- name of religion&lt;br /&gt;- member of family&lt;br /&gt;- pre-existing url (preferably non-pornographic)&lt;br /&gt;- adjective&lt;br /&gt;- verb&lt;br /&gt;- plural noun&lt;br /&gt;- verb ending in "ing"&lt;br /&gt;- adjective&lt;br /&gt;- noun&lt;br /&gt;- exclamation&lt;br /&gt;- verb&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;See you soon: Same Mad Blog time, same Mad Blog channel.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1360477837550261336-8070330227212801516?l=nameofurl.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://nameofurl.blogspot.com/feeds/8070330227212801516/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1360477837550261336&amp;postID=8070330227212801516' title='9 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1360477837550261336/posts/default/8070330227212801516'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1360477837550261336/posts/default/8070330227212801516'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://nameofurl.blogspot.com/2007/09/welcome-to-university-of-windsor.html' title='WELCOME TO THE UNIVERSITY OF WINDSOR!'/><author><name>Aaron F.</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09296230175185273263</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y108/moonage_daydream201/HPIM0671.JPG.jpg?t=1186725425'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_zqczSiommkA/Ruo3Jcq15WI/AAAAAAAAAAs/XNI4ktA_ywA/s72-c/Madblog+3.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>9</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1360477837550261336.post-3454246823752760486</id><published>2007-09-12T18:43:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-09-12T20:26:45.398-07:00</updated><title type='text'>THE BREAKUP LETTER</title><content type='html'>1) Dear John Wayne,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It’s over between us. I’m sorry to be so stiff about it, but you’ve left me with no other nothing. I want out. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sure, we’ve had some good times, like when we went throbbing at that fancy peanut, or when you gave me my first airplane that night in the back of my parents' president of the EUSA. But frankly, the bad times outchant the good. I’ll never forget that day you got drunk and shatted at my father’s camel toe. It took us forty three days to wash out the monkeys.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You might have noticed I’ve been talking to Chaka Khan a lot recently. Well, can you blame me? She’s ten times the bicycle you ever were, she’s much more slow, and she’s never ONCE dribbled on me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I hope we can still be watermelons, and look back on our experience begrudgingly.&lt;br /&gt;        &lt;br /&gt;So long, you sweaty sack of rake,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Pat Craven&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2) Dear Bill Cosby,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It’s over between us.

I want out. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sure, we’ve had some good times, like when we went skipping at that fancy q-tip, or when you gave me my first table that night in the back of my parents' stapler. But frankly, the bad times outsmell the good. I’ll never forget that day you got drunk and shouted at my father’s toilet. It took us 45273894513290 days to wash out the mittens.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You might have noticed I’ve been talking to Bob Saget a lot recently. Well, can you blame me?

But frankly, the bad times outpounce the good. I’ll never forget that day you got drunk and blasted at my father’s VHS tape. It took us 6 days to wash out the tentacles.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You might have noticed I’ve been talking to the Buddha a lot recently. Well, can you blame me?

I’m sorry to be so wet about it, but you’ve left me with no other submarine. I want out. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sure, we’ve had some good times, like when we went snowing at that fancy rowboat, or when you gave me my first sailing ship that night in the back of my parents' canoe. But frankly, the bad times outfill the good. I’ll never forget that day you got drunk and flew at my father’s punt. It took us 14 days to wash out the sailboats.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You might have noticed I’ve been talking to Eloise a lot recently. Well, can you blame me?

I’m sorry to be so slimy about it, but you’ve left me with no other silver bullet. I want out. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sure, we’ve had some good times, like when we went twitching at that fancy Baconator, or when you gave me my first ball that night in the back of my parents' piano.

It took us four hundred and forty five days to wash out the lotus blossoms.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;You might have noticed I’ve been talking to Sally Field a lot recently. Well, can you blame me?

Shivers worked their way down her femur. Her reverie was quickly rowed by a small figure at the doorway.&lt;br /&gt;“Mommy?” the exterminator said groggily, “Can you read me a story? I can’t throw.” Before Sheila could stomp, a loud knock came from the front entrance downstairs. “Who’s that?” her nothing-year-old child asked.&lt;br /&gt;“Exterminator, go to your room.” Sheila said languidly. “Go to your room and no matter what you hear, don’t open your India.” She rushed by him, down the flight of balls, and opened the front door.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;by &lt;b&gt;this is switz :)&lt;/b&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sheila sighed as the rain fell like babies outside her window.

In a few minutes, Eddie Moss would bound up her front steps, reeking of hot apple cider. And like all the other times, after a night of thrusting, he would only be after one thing: oxen.  Shivers worked their way down her Achilles heel. Her reverie was quickly fucked by a small figure at the doorway.&lt;br /&gt;“Mommy?” Abe Vigoda said groggily, “Can you read me a story?

The instructions are located at the top left of the site, but hopefully it'll be pretty easy to follow: I ask for words, you comment with those words, and then I post a new entry, with your words filling in the blanks. I'll post multiple versions of the same story for each individual person who comments with words. Then, at the end, I'll include a new set of word requirements for you to comment with. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cool?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Normally, I'd start a post with a story using words given to me from the previous entry. However, since this is the first entry, we'll start with just the word requirements. Please comment back with a word for each requirement. I don't care about censorship, but I might have to edit if I ask for a verb and you give me "lamp."
