More MadLibs
I'm at a loss for how to set up this latest edition of omarphillips.net MadLibs without giving too much information (and thus, leading you to choose certain words that might not make it as fun). Instead, here's a riddle:
A certain five letter word becomes shorter when you add two letters to it. What is the word?
Now go do some madlibs!

Oh holy hannah! The funniest one yet! It's printed. Saved. To love forever...is that creepy?!
Lia said:
Short.
Funnily, it's a pretty good cv. Maybe I'll have to adjust mine.
Carol said:
Ah! Head garbageman for Macy's. I can only dream of such a job.
Radioactive Jam said:
Dude. That is totally my real number.
Although I've been thinking about changing it; you wouldn't believe how many crank calls I get.
Jonathan said:
Very nice.
Stefanie said:
I am finding that my employment at Mayonaise Crossings is valuable to future employers.
Syar said:
First the cool points, now the CVs? He-e-e-y, are we being profiled?
I hope my cool points can get me that Head Gum Scraper job at Toys'R'Us.

That was awesome. Made my life sound much more exciting than my 52.5 rating.
Degree in Ornithology from Caliente Community College.
Ay ay ayyyy!
Jon said:
Definitely one of the best Madlibs yet. And quite apropos considering the industry I'm currently working in is tanking hard. I'll file this away for safe keeping. I'll just have Jenny hit me up when the offers start pouring in. And they will pour, for who wouldn't want someone with a 19% approval rating for handling situations in a decidedly racist way.

Jenny? Is that you? Don't change your number; I need to make you mine.

Wow. I'm so bad at riddles I totally missed it.

Shoot. I was going to say short. I googled it too late.

glo - It wasn't creepy until the "love forever" part. Even then, it's creepiness is debatable.
Lia - You win! Your prize is in the mail. On the package, I wrote: "Lia in NYC." I have no doubt that you'll see it soon.
Carol - So then yours said that you managed a team of seven garbagemens? Ha!
RaJ - At Penn State, 867 is a valid local phone exchange. Nobody had that number, though. Not that I tried calling, or anything. Every year.
Jonathan - Thanks!
Stefanie - Welcome! I've heard that if you can work customer service for Mayonaise Crossings, you can do anything.
Syar - Goodness, no! Profiling? No! But if you wouldn't mind sending along a scan of your fingerprint...
NCS - I'm impressed about the variety of programs available at CCC.
Jon - 19%? You could almost be president, with that kind of rating. The sky's the limit.
X - Are there any songs you DON'T know?
Cadiz - Totally! "No, I've never technically met her, but she's the world leader in omarphillips.net cool points."
Becky - Get out! I minored in rhinocerology!
Jazz - "i want to work with buns." I bet you do.
Cate - Lia already won. You win 3rd prize, which is a commemorative 1000th comment t-shirt.
Carrot - I'm only a little bit surprised that Nordstrom has dentists, though I'm a bit surprised they'd continue their dental program if the Head Dentist only increased sales by $3. And 2 words per minute typing skills?

thanks, man. i am totally going to add that to the "honors and activities" section of my real resume.

That is why it takes me so long to make a comment.
Rhonda said:
Awesome! I live on Big Red Car Street. Will you get goosebumps when you come to visit?
elasticwaistbandlady said:
Yeah well, my name's Puddin Tame....ask me again and I'll tell you the same.
I can get fresh like that because I have a prestigious degree in crapology from the T.J. Hooker Academy Of Crap!

Did you know that if I knew how to put little gold stars on my blogroll you'd get one for your super funny Fudge Packer comment this morning? Yes, you would! That star might even come with some packed fudge delights!
No Cool Story said:
CCC Rocks!! CCC! Go Chiles! (That't our mascot of course).
Carrot and I were roomates for a while until she moved (those Harvard snobs). We can both type 2 word per minute. Only she makes less mistakes than I do.

Hey Omar, I saw that you're starring in that movie 'Daddy Day Camp' opening this weekend. How do you have time to comment such funny things on Elastic's blog and star in crappy major motion pictures too?
Silandara said:
I worked at Poop Crossings. Yeay for me. (Thanks for adding me to your blogroll, Omar - I truly feel special now. :) Didn't get the riddle, though.
Millie said:
Heeeee. I was head pillow smotherer at Spanky's. I wonder how many job opportunities that will open up for me.
Thanks for pointing me toward your archives, Omar. :)
