Baltimore Mad Libs!
 |
Everybody loves Mad Libs. It’s a scientific fact. And at some point recently the thought occurred to me: “Hey there should be some Mad Libs about Baltimore, that’d be pretty funny.” And then I thought “Hey I should run a contest where I make a Mad Lib about Baltimore and people fill it out and the best submission wins, that’d be pretty funny.” And so here we are folks: we’ll be launching a 2-fold “Baltimore Mad Libs” contest, with two totally awesome prizes – one for the best “fill in the words” for a Mad Lib about Baltimore we provide, and an even BIGGER prize for the best “make your own Mad Lib about Baltimore.” (If you’ve been living in a cave for the past 30+ years and just recently attained internet service and don’t know how a Mad Lib works, go here) |
The “fill in the blanks” Mad Lib will go live tonight and submissions will be accepted until Midnight Sunday. If you’re even more creative than most and would like to create your own Mad Lib about Baltimore, type it up in whatever text program you see fit and email it to us by next Tuesday, September 7th (here’s an example of what it should look like). The best ones will be featured in a future post/contest all their own and will win a prize package consisting of some seriously awesome stuff.
So get your creative juices flowing people, let the zany hilarity ensue!
The Maryland State Fair, in perpetuity
The cast and crew of The City That Breeds made its way to the Timonium Fair Grounds yesterday for the 10 billionth annual Maryland State Fair. Very little changes from fair to fair; the food is pretty great, the watermelons are still gigantic, the cows still smell, the rides are still way too expensive and the belt buckles all have confederate flags on them. So if you’ve got 8 bucks to spare and you want the opportunity to eat some deep fried oreos and see the world’s largest pig, this is the place for you!
The MD State Fair runs from August 27th until September 6th
OPP of the week!
Normally I go with a random pick for OPPOTW but this is just too good to not single out:
These are my guys , Gonzo(cat) and Thor(puppy). They are awkward buddies
Awkward indeed. Congrats to Meghan S., your animals are a winning pair!
The Baltimore Area Cheapest Beers Map!
It’s well documented that people enjoy beer. And while the snottiest beer nerd will wince at the thought of drinking some sort of mass produced domestic on the cheap, the rest of us want it cold, quickly, and most importantly: cheap.
Which is why starting now, the Baltimore Area Cheapest Beers Map is live! […]
