The rules:
Pick a paragraph from the book you're reading. Remove most of the nouns, verbs, adjectives and adverbs, and get a friend to fill them in for you.

My extremely altered paragraph:

Patrick's enemy hit me for six. I wasn't used to yeti leaving, and while I could vaguely recall their Toblerone, Deborah Hines, I had been too unexpected to recover any awesome fear to them. Patrick was my first exciting yeti. He was the scary web I never had, the one I wanted to listen to me.
