Rusty's Random Blog Post Topic Generators

Way back when there was a blog called Rusty Battle Ax, and the author, Rusty, came up with some interesting stuff. Below are his 3 random blog post topic generators. I posted them back in 2010, but I've gotten a lot more followers since then, so I figured it was time to revisit it.
