That response seems a bit sharp.

Zingoleb · « **Reply #51 on:** 26 Oct 2012, 01:22 »

It was a well-tempered response. Everything was up to coda. I'm just worried that we might get bar-red from the forums if we keep this up (on the other hand, maybe I can bribe one of the mods with a tenor...)

I have no wish to flatten this ground; I'm happy for people to resolve their tensions here, so that they can avoid discordant answers in discussions elsewhere. I want our moderation to have concord and harmony as one of its key signatures.

When it comes to singing, I'm bisectional.

Redball · « **Reply #55 on:** 26 Oct 2012, 05:58 »

The tenor section of my Detroit choir in the 80s and 90s had a few "tenorettes," and when we rehearsed our part at someone's home, we were on the lookout for psychosectional behavior.

Asterus · « **Reply #56 on:** 26 Oct 2012, 06:31 »

I'm sure people are just overreacting about the music puns. Even if we didn't go for '33, I'm sure it'd turn out al fine. We just have to be subito with that we say. We cantabile-zy

TheEvilDog · « **Reply #57 on:** 26 Oct 2012, 07:52 »

Perhaps the modteam would provide us with a bassline for how we should act in this thread.

Asterus · « **Reply #58 on:** 26 Oct 2012, 10:27 »

I'd imagine that would only be if they were guitarists. Otherwise they'd never be able to keep tabs on everyone. Either way, as long as we know the score, the show can royally go on.

Oh dear, I appear to be dipping into references. I need to define an object-ion

lepetitfromage · « **Reply #59 on:** 26 Oct 2012, 10:53 »

I wish I could drum up these puns as well as the rest of you.

I guess it just takes more practice....

jwhouk · « **Reply #60 on:** 26 Oct 2012, 11:00 »

Oh, sure, keep beating your own drum like that. You have no basses to keep harping on the puns around here like that.

Redball · « **Reply #61 on:** 26 Oct 2012, 11:12 »

This thread is a cymbal of all that is wrong with the language. Flauting the rules is a snare and a delusion!

Zingoleb · « **Reply #62 on:** 26 Oct 2012, 15:08 »

Oh god, these are getting bad. It's making me want to get violint.

dr. nervioso · « **Reply #63 on:** 26 Oct 2012, 15:18 »

Now that was a bit of a stretch.
I saw someone playing piano today but I told them to play forte

TheEvilDog · « **Reply #64 on:** 26 Oct 2012, 16:48 »

It would seem that puns aren't your forte.
We used to keep a piano in the spare room, but we never played it, could never find the keys.

Does the name "Pavlov" ring a bell? After the experiments, his dogs joined the Salivation Army.

If that is not a win, we need to change the drools.

Five tired musicians need a pentatonic.

Carl-E · « **Reply #66 on:** 26 Oct 2012, 17:51 »

I think I just suffered a groan injury.

Asterus · « **Reply #67 on:** 26 Oct 2012, 18:02 »

I feel that if we were all party to this injury, we'd be courting disaster XD

So you're saying we should Squash this before it gets to Titanic proportions?

TheEvilDog · « **Reply #69 on:** 26 Oct 2012, 19:54 »

It'll only take one really bad pun to sink this thread.

Asterus · « **Reply #70 on:** 26 Oct 2012, 20:03 »

I wouldn't think so. It clearly has its basin a sound idea, and these arguments do hold water.

Which reminds me that the most common animal in Australia is the bison -- there is one in every hand-washing station.

The Seldom Killer · « **Reply #72 on:** 27 Oct 2012, 00:06 »

C'mon Is it cold in here, puns are fine but that post was flush with toilet humour.

jwhouk · « **Reply #73 on:** 27 Oct 2012, 08:30 »

I wanted to make some sort of joke about the Coriolis effect, but I'm plumb out of ideas.

Redball · « **Reply #74 on:** 27 Oct 2012, 08:55 »

If the toilet humor rises, don't stand on the stool. It's a trap.

Kugai · « **Reply #75 on:** 27 Oct 2012, 13:23 »

Well, at least it's keeping us engaged.

TheEvilDog · « **Reply #76 on:** 27 Oct 2012, 13:24 »

Or it could end up one big stinking mess.

The Seldom Killer · « **Reply #77 on:** 27 Oct 2012, 13:58 »

True but sometimes when urine position you just have to go through the motions.

pwhodges · « **Reply #78 on:** 27 Oct 2012, 14:35 »

This thread seems to be going down the pan.

First mate: Level's rising, sir! The puns haven't stopped!
Captain: Put those planks on the tank cover, call it a poop deck and stand on it!

Yes, we all know where the poop deck is.

In the back of the ship.

Redball · « **Reply #81 on:** 27 Oct 2012, 18:43 »

Yeah, I was struck by the resemblance between a small 17-th/18th-century ship with a poop deck and one of my toilets with a low tank and elongated bowl. All it needs is the rigging, and maybe some ballast. And a Lilliputian crew.

That would be crewed humor.

Rude alliteration:

"May I swive you in Swinomish?"
"May I screw you in Scranton?"
"May I bang you in Bangalore?"
"May I shag you in Shanghai?"
"May I ball you in Bali?"

I'll let someone else post the best one (involving a town in Austria).

Akima · « **Reply #91 on:** 01 Nov 2012, 19:35 »

Akima almost always adopts any avenue aiding and abetting alliteration.
Sadly she shuns simple smutty sniggering, since she's singularly shy.

Redball · « **Reply #92 on:** 01 Nov 2012, 20:46 »

Such shunning of smut shows she's certainly special.

and funnier.

Fictional business names that are apropos but punny:

A raincoat store, "Poncho Villa".
A plumbing store, "The Toilet Zone".

Kugai · « **Reply #98 on:** 05 Dec 2012, 20:51 »

A Clock/Watch Store 'Timeless'
A Shoe Store 'Barefoot Originals' - And yes, that is an actual Shoe Shops name.
