Jack Hoff's City Hall Mad Libs!
Since folks at City Hall seem to have plenty of time to play games and hurl insults over the so-called “gang crisis,” I thought that perhaps today all of us should take a moment to relax and join in on the fun!
So grab a pencil and paper and let's play:
City Hall Mad Libs!

In a (adverb) awaited confrontation over the future of Los Angeles' anti-gang programs, City Controller Laura Chick and Councilman Tony Cardenas butted (plural body part) Friday over her proposals to revamp the city structure and move the programs under the authority of the Mayor's Office.
"The words `turf war' are gang terminology and have no place at City Hall," Chick said in opening remarks to the Ad Hoc Committee on Gang Violence and (animal) Development.
"I know there are many questions on what we are proposing," she told the panel, which is chaired by Cardenas. "But I hope we move (plural noun) to discuss what can be - and not what can't."
But after a three-hour hearing with impassioned testimony about the need for reforms of gang-intervention management, Cardenas said he still had too many (plural noun) to act.
Chick, joined by (favorite cartoon character) and (favorite Brady Bunch Family Member) swiftly countered that action is needed immediately.
The end of the hearing came (plural unit of time) after Chick and Cardenas began the day with a confrontation in which Cardenas retorted: "Get out of my (body part or orifice)."
Chick said she wanted to clear up some differences with Cardenas over whether her report on (plural noun) was delivered late.
Cardenas said later that the two were talking (adverb) and (adverb) when Chick made a (bodily function) - which he would not detail - that he considered an insult.

Well done! Here's what you would have read out loud...

2:26, also well done! A highly effective Mad Lib...

Okay, so you do know Mad Libs. Good one. It's going to be perversely tough to move those leaves. Trying to make heads and tails over the toe report will be even tougher. Never mind, though, Zuma Dogg and Jan Brady will save the day.
Happy St Patty's Day JH.
Thanks, 6:19p! This is for you:
"May the road rise to meet you. May the wind be always at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face, the rains fall soft upon your fields. And until we meet again, may God hold you in the palm of His hand."
My, but how I do love being Irish...
jack hoff going too far and your revealing your identity in your journey.
7:06p, why go through life being distracted by all the Jack Hoffs in the world? Ideas, not identity, are what's important. Bring yours to the thread and we'll talk.
I look forward to it.
Til then!
JH, thank you so much for the Irish blessing.
Sincerely,
6:19
Stop this flirting with the customers!
lol, ooh baby!! ;)
Oh I see the problem. Although I was the first one to play your game, I didn't understand it because I didn't read the words "read more" at the bottom of your post.
My mistake. Now I understand completely.
Doh!
10:46p, lol, all is forgiven!!
