Due to the overwhelming popularity of my first diabetes Mad Lib, I've decided to take another crack at it.

That's, uh, sarcasm.

You guys like totally blew me off.

That's OK though. I've only grown stronger from your rejection.

Now I'm thinking bigger, more grandiose. Mad Libs, which have been around for as long as I can remember, are just swell as they are, but they only offer fluffy themes like "the haunted house," "bicycle safety" or "instructions for future astronauts." I'd love to call up Mr. Mad Lib and propose a whole series on diabetes. People with diabetes like to laugh. Well, at least some of them do. And why stop there. I'm sure there are plenty of illnesses and ailments to target.

Erectile dysfunction could be a good one.

Standing Up to Erectile Dysfunction

Would you like more confidence when having noun with your significant other? Is your body part feeling droopy and adjective?

I WOULD actually like more confidence when having dinner with my significant other. And my toenails have been feeling droopy and sour.

Sorry if I'm just babbling along and not making much sense. It's almost midnight here in the keystone state and I'm pretty tired today. I tested Charlie at 10:30 pm and he was 374. But I didn't clean his finger first. Good thing I did it again with a clean finger. The second time he was only 359.

Again with the sarcasm, as my third-grade teacher, Mrs. Schluer, would say to me.

The flu has hit the Potash household. The girl is on day five of fevers and we suspect that the little guy now has it. Charlie is the last man standing for now. My germophobic wife has placed Charlie in a life-size shrink-wrapped Easter basket with a jug of Purell and a two-pack supply of Lysol antibacterial wipes. Well, and of course some of the fake grass.

OK, the rules to this are simple and I hope you all participate. Just send me the following parts of speech and whatnot in the correct order in the comment field. I'll plug your words into the Mad Lib that I have already written. I'll send out a post during the week with some of the funniest diabetes Mad Libs that you've all come up with.

Guess it's time to break open that cellophane and check Charlie. I hope he came down.

Here are the parts of speech, etc.:

Good Lord, Shannon... This is going to be a doozy. I just know it.

It is a strange year when Christian children are hunting for Easter eggs and eating chocolate bunnies at the same time Jewish children are dressing up in costumes, eating hamantashen, and making noise with their groggers... too often, it's Easter candy envy because even the Kosher Easter candies are not Kosher for Passover...
