My great grandfather was a German immigrant who loved his second language.  I only visited his home once, I was about 11 or 12, and he'd been dead since before I was born, but his son (my great-uncle) still lived there. 

Going to the basement to see the presses (he was a printer), I noticed there was a cardboard cutout of a duck tacked on the wall above the doorway. 


As soon as the words, "What's that there for?" left my mouth, I hid my head on the top of the low door frame. 


Gotta appreciate a man who can come up with something like that in a different language...

Oh Akima, with your electricity puns you really have been this thread's transformer. Clearly the rest of us are going to have to work hard to keep you at bay. Nat that I would want to stop the joy that you are bringing us but I'm disappointed that looking at the pun rankings I am number four.
Title: Re: The wordplay thread
Post by: pwhodges on 24 Oct 2012, 02:51
Some of the puns here are quite a stretch.  In the same vein, I offer you not my own but a selection from the emails in my in-box at work this morning:

Quote
[Context:] Ahh - the cycle light debate - as soon as this comes along I know winter's upon us.  An old faithful like mince pies and Christmas trees. 

Yes, it goes in cycles.

Indeed, someone peddles this every year.

Thought it rang a bell.. We need a brake from being saddled with the same old tyred conversations.

And as I seemed to start this topic is it wheely interesting and go round and round every so often?

How much longer are we going to be saddled with these bad puns?

We could always notch it up a gear before we pedal off into the sunset.

Can't help but feel this conversation has been derail(leur)ed.

That's getting right to the hub of the matter.....

Much more of this and people will start getting crank-y

We're certainly being led off-topic...

I think we need to pump some more humour into this thread

Why?  Do you think it is going flat?  I agree, we don't get puns of the same calliper as we used to, perhaps some of us are starting to tyre and need a brake?

I'm surprised no-one has been asked to go fork themselves, yet...

For goodness' sake, put a spoke in it. This cycle of bad puns is making me tyred.

Post by: TheFuriousWombat on 24 Oct 2012, 06:53
I recently found myself needing to produce a series of medieval puns. Here is what I came up with in a couple of minutes:

Q: What do people who pledge loyalty to a feudal lord in return for protection use as lubricant?
A: Vassal-ine

Q: What did the indifferent king say to the castle builder's argument?
A: It was a moat point

Q: What was the Knights'-errant favorite movie?
A: A Liege of Their Own

Q: What argument did the castellan use to claim all the mutton chops as his own?
A: He said they were his ramparts

This is what happens when you graduate with degrees in history and literature and then cannot find a remotely relevant job.

When the Group of heroes busted open the wizards' spy Ring, they had a Field day playing with the wizardly portals left behind.  One of them got very Monoid when he was bombarded with a whole Dimension full of male enhancement ads:  a Grothendieck universe.  Another stumbled upon a stash of expensive goods, and decided to wear the dress with Manifolds in it that the found.  One even found a bunch of felines performing a violent play:  a Multicategory show.  The leader claimed that he was braver than any of the spies had been, and that he had Monads than them too.  The heroes went Turing across he countryside.  Everywhere they went, people played music from the 1970's, making it a Functor.

So to sum it up, we have a thread devoted to wordplay, yet no poets have shown up Riemann. Clearly we must integrate it into the conversation.

On a side note, it seems odd to have so many subjects transposed among each other, though to be fair staying on topic isn't really my forte.

There's a fishing shop on the outskirts of town here. Its name is "Master Bait & Tackle".

Please tell me there's a hardware store next to them so they can team up and open "Master Bait and Spackle"

I just came across this on Wikipedia. I really am not sure how I got into the article on metahumor.

There once was an X from place B,
Who satisfied predicate P,
The X did thing A,
In a specified way,
Resulting in circumstance C.
