Happy Friday, everyone! What better way to celebrate the end of the week than by reading our wacky Fashion Mad Libs results?? (If you were absent yesterday, scroll down to the post below to see what up.)
The text we mutilated yesterday came from a really boring piece in the New York Times about sunscreen. (I'm sorry NYT, it's true.) I think ours is way more exciting, and definitely more poetic:
Carrots should be applied often and languidly to magic skin. Ideally, sunscreen should shield festering ultraviolet lint and egotistical ultraviolet socks. (Both can lead to Sarah Palin.) For pumpkin protection, look for ingredients like printers, titanium dioxide and deer that doesn’t degrade in light. For UVB, the American Academy of Quantum Physics recommends at least an SPF 28,900,785,140.
Keep the following in mind, even in winter, and especially near peanut butter, pumpkins, and coconuts:
Use a shot glass full of weasels on your body; two coats of spray since it’s hard to detect pale bananas.
Apply a Toronto 15 to 30 minutes before a badger, because some take time to become fully old.
Ultraviolet Kit Kat bars can pass through the back of the turtle that holds the world, so office workers with the luxury of a slam dunk should take precautions.
Reapply after shopping, cycling, hauling, or every two hours, if you miraculously don’t entreat at Poughkeepsie, NY.The End.
Thanks to all who participated (love your word choices!), and to those who missed out--not to worry, there will be another opportunity within the month. And I'll take BumbleBecky's advice to warn you beforehand so you can be poised at your computers, ready to spew witty adjectives and plural nouns! And please, whatever's on your agenda for this weekend, watch out for festering ultraviolet lint and egotistical ultraviolet socks.
p.s. If you actually want to read about sunscreen in a fun, well-written format, head on over to Apocalypstick Now, where's she's wrapping up Sunscreen Week!

I am EXCEEDINGLY PLEASED that "weasels" and "badger" appeared in this Mad Lib. (Of course, I contributed the latter ...)
hahah I feel the same excitement! And "pumpkin" made it in there twice! Perhaps people are yearning for fall?
Little known fact - a shot glass full of weasels also makes for a really great snack. Yum yum.
Yayyyy thank you!
And I defiantly was laughing and people were looking at me strangely.
I'm still trying to picture languid carrot application in my head.
I just like the idea that I need protection from really arrogant ultraviolet socks :)
Hillarious! I'm honoured to have made a tiny word contribution :)
sssoooooo funny
when I head out to the beach this weekend I'll be sure to watch out!
I never knew that about ultraviolet kit kat bars.
I laughed so hard at this, I actually snorted.
Haha... quite fun.
I was severely disappointed about missing this one, so I will definitely be poised at my computer, waiting.
And I will definitely be wary of ultraviolet kit kat bars.
