PHP Madlib Problem III

Using Functions & Arguments

Herman's maître d' says, "Me and the boys were trying to guess how you spell your name." Obviously, he has some grammar and sequencing problems. To help him out, you have two jobs to do.

Find or create your own madlib which uses at least five (5) different fill-ins.
Determine how you can cannibalize this code to produce a new, better, grammatically correct, more exciting program.

Click on Herman's picture to run my lame program.

Be creative!!! Your fellow students will have an opportunity to do your madlib during the next class.
