Well, I don't think there's any need to discuss much.

Ah, the fun you can have with WordNet.

Cool blog though.

It's a law that Paul Simon's Fifty Ways to Leave Your Lover is performed at every Karaoke bar every night otherwise they have to shut the operation down.

Blob a stripped plague, Craig

I tried, but I think I'm infected with the plague now...

Could have made it easy, like Go shake a leg, Craig or Go lay an egg, Craig or Don't whine and beg, Craig or Knock yourself down a peg, Craig. (Another reason I dropped the "Wendell" penname)

Cop to a plea, Bree.
Chew off an arm, Marn.

All the other ones I came up with were dirty and sophomoric.

"Yell on the peg, Meg"?

That's pretty racy for being automatically generated.

If I ever had to get up and perform at a Karaoke Bar, I'd request "Fifty Ways" and pull a list of posts from here out of my pocket to give a 'special' presentation. You have been warned.

I have to say that's the first time I've laughed out loud about something a computer made up.

Would that I had more favourites to give, Daily Alice. That elicited a laughsnort harsh enough to send the cat fleeing from the room...

Just be gone, Don.

"Scrub a plus thong, Yong" is my new favorite.

I seem to be missing the gene that makes this taste funny.

But, RobotVoodooPower's link to the creator's blog lead me to Pizza Clones, which is fantastic. Now, that's my kind of algorithmically generated text twitter bot.
