EDIT: Here is the word generator site mike linked to for that old challenge. It was actually a random paring machine that combined nouns' and adjectives'. LINK
Jay, check this out and let us know what you think.

Yeah, that works too. People will be able to click through until they get a pair they like, but that'll just help lend more appeal to the comp I guess.Originally posted by THX1138
Using a word generator would be alot better than posting a list of words that people would have to choose from.

"Your weapons are no match for ours! People of Mars, surrender!"
"Um, this isn't Mars. This is Earth."
"Earth? Earth-with-nuclear-weapons Earth?"
"Yes."
[long pause] "Friend!!"

Edit: I actually clicked twice... just cause the first two words I didn't understand. Actually I think one was sake, but I wasn't sure if it was the Japanese drink or "for goodness sake!" ?
It's a secret though.

But to be honest I'd love to give the original two words a run. "fence/Armchair"

Now the credit goes to tweetytunes for the random word theme. I'm only pushing it to make it happen.
Hope Jay is game for this.
