If you have any ideas for a good TwitLib, post it in the comments!

Use two underscores for your blanks and make sure the total length does not exceed 140 characters. Try to include a key word or two so that all the responses are kept to a similar topic. Remove a few verbs and nouns, and try to get about 5-7 blanks to allow for a reasonable amount of flexibility.

I will be coming up with my own TwitLibs, but if I see some good ones posted here, I will probably include them.

“pooped”, “pants”
“launched”, “site”

Yes, I just launched my site!

What is TwitLibs? It is a game played on Twitter.com. Every week, in celebration of Weekend Eve (a.k.a. “Friday”), I post a sentence containing a series of blanks on my Twitter page. To play, anyone — yes, anyone — can post a reply to me containing words to fill in the blanks to make the funniest statement.

For example, I might post: “TwitLibs! What if my __ stopped __ and I had to __ my __?”

Anyone could then make posts like these: (Using “@” reply syntax)
@brianshaler “phone”, “working”, “listen”, “teachers”
@brianshaler “girlfriend”, “kissing me”, “get out”, “black book”
@brianshaler “interwebs”, “downloading”, “unclog”, “tubes”
