Thanks for your kind words. These tables are from lists I have been creating for the past, well, lets just say ever since I learned what roleplaying was. I typed them from my notes and added to them. I essentially templated them when I ran out of ideas. Basically replaced noun, subject and verbs to create enough variety. [ahem] [as far back as the 80's. Shhhh!] These are ideas I just wanted to share and have more to share over time. I believe in idea sharing in the same spirit as 'zines from the stone age of gaming. :) Enjoy!
