Wandom Wednesday: Mad Libs, Cat Ladies and Old Wine

Hey, it's Mike Watterson, the Watters' wake-up call.

Boy, did we have a Wandom Wednesday this morning.

We were talking mad libs.

So somebody's got to give me two nouns and two verbs.

Penguin.

Penguin, all right.

Artichoke.

Penguin and artichoke.

I got to give you lots of Wandom cred for that.

Okay, now I need a couple of verbs.

Punt.

Punt.

Great.

All right, one more.

Saunter.

Saunter.

Yes.

Good lord.

When was the last time you actually used the verb saunter?

Every day.

Really?

No.

I wonder how many people actually know what saunter means anymore.

This is educational.

It is educational.

Okay, so plugging in penguin, artichoke, punt, and saunter we get.

Hello, my name is penguin.

You punted my artichoke.

Prepare to saunter.

Oh, Princess Bride.

Princess Bride, yeah, hello.

My name is Inigo Mantoya.

You kill my father.

Prepare to saunter.

Prepare to saunter.

Hey, I'm doing pretty good hawaiian.

How are you?

Not too bad.

What's happening today?

My

first day back in state after being out for my vacation.

What'd you do on your vacation?

I

went to New Orleans.

New Orleans?

What were you doing in New Orleans?

French Fest.

All that jazz music?

Oh my gosh, it was awesome.

French Fest?

Well, I'll bet it was in the French Quarter, wasn't

it?

Yes, it was.

Huh?

Look at me figuring things out.

I had a verb for you, but I didn't get it in time.

Yeah?

What was the verb?

Okay.

All right.

So not a noun trolley, a verb trolley.

Yeah.

Hey, let's see if you can just randomly pull some more out of your, uh, you know what?

Yeah.

How about a noun?

She's definitely been to New Orleans.

All right.

Saxophone verb.

We'll use trolley for that one.

Yeah.

Another noun.

rainbow.

All right, one more noun.

One more

noun.

One more noun.

Uh, house.

And a contraction.

Traction.

Wasn't, can't, won't.

It's like when two words, you make them one, like cannot becomes can't.

Isn't.

Isn't.

All right.

Well, I think that's what I need.

So let's see.

Plugging them all into my little, my little mad lib here.

My house always trolleys.

Life was like a house of rainbow.

You never know what it isn't going to get.

Okay.

Yeah,

not bad.

What's the movie line?

I don't know.

I'll give it to you one more time.

And maybe this will be a bit of a hint for you.

My house always trolleys.

Life was like a house of rainbow.

You never know what it isn't going to get.

All right, that was a terrible impression, but there you go.

Mama always says life was like a box of chocolate.

You never know what you're going to get.

There

you

go.

Yeah.

Yeah, well you're in New Orleans, so I can't imagine how foggy your brain might be

and French, definitely no line.

I suppose

it's Italian.

So

we

have Hispanics.

We have like a melting pot of Northeast Iowa because the hub of the railroad used to come and into a line and they needed a lot of railroad workers.

So they recruited from all types of nationalities.

We're not quite as diverse as

Coastal.

I think melting pot met with the melting pot you toss in a few grapes and boom you got the old wine

Yeah, you've got take off your shoes and you know squish around.

Yeah, I do

like the I love Lucy episode where her and Apple or Yeah, and Italy and they were her friends and they were squishing the grapes that was very cool

That's a classic scene certainly is I know they were supposed to be in Italy or France, but I think that was filmed in all

wine

Yes,

yes.

That's

right.

I think if you if you really pay attention at one point They get like a sliver of it in there, but you really have to be paying attention to that scene Talk to mrs. Waters this morning and she seemed a little too excited that it was cat lady day

Yeah

You know I don't think you can technically call yourself a cat lady because the stereotype of a cat lady

is someone who lives all alone with, I don't know, like 37 cats.

You know,

that's a dream.

Yeah, for me to just someday, oh, where did your husband go?

And it'll be a mystery.

And in my place, there are now 37 cats, well, I guess 36 cats, 37 with Jimmy Mittens.

Well, you can beat your foo, but I would like to have 37 cats.

Yeah, we'll have to get a bigger place, I think.

We would.

Every Monday through Friday 5 30 to 10 right
