Would Woodrow love Apple trees or date Palms?

WAYF · « **Reply #251 on:** 01 Dec 2013, 00:01 »

Is somebody saving up and using the Pun Jar to buy a HOUSE or something?

Method of Madness · « **Reply #252 on:** 01 Dec 2013, 00:04 »

Yes. Yes, I am. (pause) A treehouse.

Asterus · « **Reply #253 on:** 01 Dec 2013, 00:05 »

Nope, we're going after SASKATCHEWAN! Because it sounds funny. Also it's apparently open for ~~invasion~~ purchase.

The question is, with so many wood puns around, is this thread heading towards a woodchipper, or will it be granter safe arbour?

Purely as a matter of interest, as the term was common in my childhood but seems to have fallen out of use - did anyone pick up on "deal"?

I didn't until you drew my attention to it. I have heard of deal as a wood but it's not a word I've heard in current usage.

In addition to preventing Woodrows from overclocking themselves, you need to keep them away from Woody Woodpecker.

How many AnthroPCs could a woodchucker chuck...

jwhouk · « **Reply #258 on:** 01 Dec 2013, 07:45 »

Or an angry beaver.

(Anyone wanna start a new WCDT?)

Is it cold in here? · « **Reply #259 on:** 01 Dec 2013, 07:51 »

One great feature is that it's immune to viruses.

Unfortunately there's still a vulnerability to worms.

DrBear · « **Reply #260 on:** 01 Dec 2013, 08:41 »

I don't think a wooden Anthro PC would be a larch problem.

This is pineful.

~~GarandMarine~~ · « **Reply #262 on:** 01 Dec 2013, 10:48 »

I wish people would quit birching about all the puns

DSL · « **Reply #263 on:** 01 Dec 2013, 10:59 »

Oak-K, Oak-K ...

(Deposits Pun Jar in Pun Tesseract)

~~GarandMarine~~ · « **Reply #264 on:** 01 Dec 2013, 11:02 »

I wonder how long it's gonna take for us to branch out from tree puns though. There can only be some many trees in a forest right?

cesium133 · « **Reply #265 on:** 01 Dec 2013, 11:38 »

Perhaps we could ask former President Bush for new puns?

DrBear · « **Reply #266 on:** 01 Dec 2013, 15:50 »

This pun thread has gone on longer than "Roots."

~~GarandMarine~~ · « **Reply #267 on:** 01 Dec 2013, 17:40 »

It does seem to be growing quite nicely

KOK · « **Reply #268 on:** 01 Dec 2013, 23:19 »

No wooden nickels in the pun jar, please.

Yeah, let's leaf them outside.

cesium133 · « **Reply #270 on:** 02 Dec 2013, 10:50 »

I've burned all the wooden nickels in the pun jar, and now all that's left is ash.

Method of Madness · « **Reply #271 on:** 02 Dec 2013, 11:32 »

And his boomstick.

Pilchard123 · « **Reply #272 on:** 02 Dec 2013, 12:47 »

And his pokemans. (let him show you them)

Method of Madness · « **Reply #273 on:** 02 Dec 2013, 14:42 »

He wants to be the very best.

cesium133 · « **Reply #274 on:** 02 Dec 2013, 14:54 »

Like no-one else wood be.

Kugai · « **Reply #275 on:** 02 Dec 2013, 15:20 »

Well, he was a student of Professor Oak

Much better, yes!

But please don't call me Shirley.

Because Jeph couldn't think of a decent portmanteau? Really now; "clarten?" "maire?" What.

Clairy Marten?

Yeah, yeah, not short enough and a bad pun to boot...

I've said it before, but: I'm all in favour of Maire. The way I pronounce it ends up as more or less "mær".. as in "Maiden".

Asterus · « **Reply #278 on:** 02 Dec 2013, 17:22 »

Oh god, what did I start? XD I just came back to all of this.

DSL · « **Reply #279 on:** 02 Dec 2013, 21:16 »

Yes, it's grown treemendously.

cesium133 · « **Reply #280 on:** 02 Dec 2013, 21:17 »

It has branched out and tied itself into a knot.

Method of Madness · « **Reply #281 on:** 02 Dec 2013, 21:26 »

Just look at what yew have done!

cesium133 · « **Reply #282 on:** 02 Dec 2013, 21:32 »

We may yet pine for the days before this thread became about wood, but we larch forward into a new era. We'll be oak, eh?

TheRedMaiden · « **Reply #283 on:** 02 Dec 2013, 21:45 »

Uh...This thread gives me wood....? Am I doing this right?

Method of Madness · « **Reply #284 on:** 02 Dec 2013, 21:55 »

No. No you are not.

(Well, maybe.)

Is it cold in here? · « **Reply #285 on:** 02 Dec 2013, 22:40 »

We all knew this would transpire.

Serious question, does this have any connection to "mare"?

Not in origin; "mare" (English) is from "*marhijō", a feminine form of "*marhaz", horse (possibly of Celtic origin), while "mær" (Icelandic and Old Norse) is from "*mawī", a feminine form of "*maguz", boy (of PIE origin).

In Danish, however, "mær" means mare, not maiden ...

Oh, and in French, "maire" (from Latin "major") means master, and gave rise to Middle English "mer", "mair", meaning mayor.
