-Man, I was in the electrical plug too long. My ocean is all lumpy.
-I know! I’ve been hyperventilating for the last 22.33333333 hours.
-Hey, what do you think is in there? I bet it’s an umbrella.
-Psh. I bet it’s where Shakespeare keeps his mortar shells.
[...]
-You two sure look gentle (and kind).
-Sauté me!
Is it normal for this comic not to sound any weirder to me than the previous ones?
I don’t know; Mountain Time never really sounds weird to me, for obvious reasons.
Also: “an umbrella” is hardly a plural noun! But, you know, it’s cool. It still fits.
I’d like to post my ideas of how it goes, but I don’t want to taint other people’s answers. I’ll wait.
I know! I figure I’ll probably do this again, and hopefully by then I’ll have come up with a good system for making it as surprising as it should be. For now, consider this a write-your-own-version game rather than a true Mad Lib. Alternatively, have a friend fill in the blanks without seeing the comic.
I’m not very good with choose your own whatever stories. I always end up choosing the path where I either die or get sold into slavery by mutant fly people.

I did this. It goes somewhere along the lines of:

Man, I hate it when you’re given the story when you’re filling in the words. They’re never as fun that way.

I’ve just subliminally implanted the word bland into my mind. I’m like Derren Brown only backwards.
