Here's a cute little game for those using a phone to post. On your phone keyboard, type "I was born in" and let your keyboard auto-suggest your story.
Originally from Twitter, but here you can go as long as you want.
I was born in the middle of the night and I was like a good soldier and a good and sweet year to you too.
Curiously, SwiftKey generated a different text here than on Twitter.

If there was anything that depressed him more than his own cynicism, it was that quite often it still wasn't as cynical as real life.

I was born in New York city and the way they do it in the way of life and death in the family of four and a good night.

Second try:
I was born in the United States and she said she would check and let me know if you want to go forward with the bathroom I think it would be a good idea to get away then but maybe we could try to get the best out of it.

I was born to be a good friend and I had a great time with you and I hope you have a great day and I’ll let you know when I get there.
“There, peeping among the cloud-wrack above a dark tor high up in the mountains, Sam saw a white star twinkle for a while. The beauty of it smote his heart, as he looked up out of the forsaken land, and hope returned to him. For like a shaft, clear and cold, the thought pierced him that in the end the Shadow was only a small and passing thing: there was light and high beauty for ever beyond its reach.”
― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Return of the King

I don't think i understand how this works but it's likely because my phone is too old to do whatever it is y'all are doing so I'm just stopping by to say I really like Al's.

Here's another one - I tried so hard.
I tried so hard to get it for you if you are not an apple you are a FlyBaby and you are studying real well.
Note the start of the Pratchett reference.
If there was anything that depressed him more than his own cynicism, it was that quite often it still wasn't as cynical as real life.

I was born by the river in a little tent.
(I so wish this was true!)
Mornings wouldn't suck so badly if they came later in the day.

Here's another one. Auto-complete "The new year will bring"
The new year will bring you to the next level of the year and the other on fire.

The new year will bring a djembe for you tonight or tomorrow morning and we will need you to be done by Wednesday and we aren't sure we can get it done by tomorrow.
