The Oakland A’s outfielder, Coco Crisp, said: “My mom
named me after the cereal she was eating when she
went into labor.  Good thing she wasn’t eating (__BLANK__)!”

Okay, now YOU come up with one.

Um, I think the idea is to write a contemporary question.

What's hilarious is that my answer rhymes with blank.

I do think that threads like these inevitably crater because lots of people on the internet think they're funnier than they actually are.

Unfortunately, yes.

Undaunted though I will try one.

The football coach said, "I don't like this new running back we signed. He couldn't even hang onto the ball if you BLANKed it to his hands!"

Did you want responses to your question, or did you want others to submit their own questions?

I think that's a little too broad in scope.  You can literally fill that with anything.  I might fine-tune that down into something such as:  "Its too bad Hillary's running for president.  If I wanted to vote for a liar, I'd nominate <blank>"

In 2002 he might have been. I actually had to look it up to see if he was still playing.

2002 is a little early.  Even in late 2003, when he did a signing at an event at an Indians team shop, the line wasn't that long.  Coco's best years weren't in Cleveland.

Nono, I was trying to stave off the laundry list of one-word responses that Aaron was threatening to start. :)

Pro-tip from writer Dick DeBartolo: "Implied category." There needs to be something in the question that implies some category that the answers should fall into.

Ok, point taken.   :D

How about something like this:  Jim said, "My DVR malfunctioned when I tried to record two shows at once.  When I tried to watch "The Life Story of Muhammad Ali," all I got was a presidential debate - and *BLANK* was proclaiming that THEY were the greatest!"

Okay, since I've seen a taping of this, I'll give it a try:

Did you hear there's a new item on the menu at the ABC cafeteria. It's called the Donald Trump. It's a _______ sandwich.   

Coincidentally, the west side NYC Trump apartment complex is literally a stone's throw away from where MG is being taped.

Was I the only one who immediately thought of Alan when reading the name Thicke?

And your clue is too on-the-nose for people who know what a sommelier is, and a giant question mark for those who don't.
