Eddie
Wonder what the story behind this one would be. . .
“The Clock Road To Pussy”
I liked this one: The Glasgow Woman Lamenting Her Postman
I tweaked it a bit this morning, seems to work a bit better.
Very cute, but it has a few problems, mostly
grammatically. I don’t know if you want to deal
with categorizing the words and generating
reasonable patterns, but…
Two possessives in a row is a little odd…
Shouldn’t that be of ‘the mountains?’
Adjective verb placename? Uhm. Interesting.
Glurk.
Anyway, you get the idea, but it’s a lot of work to fix.
Of course, I got out of it several future classics:
And the absolutely priceless:
Ha ha ha! Here are my favorites!
The Mysterious Mayo 
Oh! Cow 
The Priests Wish That I Would Go With the Cupboard
The Opera House
Where’s Gary?
(I don’t even know where they came up with this next one!)
The Convenience Polka
Yeah, I’ve played around with it a bit since the initial version and have tried to come up with a better method. I’ve tried using more traditional methods of text generation such as Markov Chains, but the short length of the titles don’t lend themselves to it.
The elegant way would be to feed a sample of titles into a grammatical analyzer and have it learn how to build titles, but I don’t know if I’m up for that right now.
