Play some MadLibs on a livejournal entry!

Bug reports, rants, and raves, should all go here.

Another random thought for a new feature: when the user's creativity
is spent, allow em to request random values for the remaining fields.
This could simply access a previously built (user-modifiable?)
dictionary of words, organized by part of speech.

Hrm... I like the current solution of, if their creativity tunrs out, we simply don't change the word at all.

It makes for some subtle madlibs.

Random might be nice, but that would definitely mean digging into wordnet code.

Nice job, guys. I can't resist sharing the outcome of my mad-lib:

Check out the crazy entry!

Note: I think you have a bug in your auto-link generator. It left out the "http://soy.dyndns.org".

Cheers!
