Simple Random Sentence Generator (SRSG) is a homebrew made in Lua that generates random sentences that resemble poorly worded "Engrish". The original idea for this program was a passing comment about a random Engrish generator.
In version 3, it can also generate random Chuck Norris Facts and Homework Excuses.
User guide
The program generate random sentences from word lists and sentence patterns. , The nature of original and random Engrish sentences is that it might take a bit of time to find the really funny lines, so be patient.
That's also the wonderful part about the favorites option. You can collect the best ones and the number of original sentences is a very big number. The Homework Excuses and Chuck Norris Facts are currently a bit fewer in number, but are 90% funnier.
Here's some sample sentences:
- Mr. Norris jumped forward in time and headbutted Mr. T just as he was about to stick a q-tip in his ear. I couldn't stop giving him high-fives!
- Chuck Norris once karate-chopped himself in the teeth. It was so godlike!
- My homework was eaten by a mouse!
- My homework fell into a large chasm and I couldn't get it back!
- I was keeping my homework in an alligator's mouth to hide it from a lion but then a gerbil took it and devoured it!
- She was being Pim Pim. pretty to meeting I.
- Yay! Cubic Cube is holding for feeling kindly.
- Mary are calm in delicious centuries.
- GLASS BOWL, these well pretty utensil.
