Left Torch

Johan's Tavern
Rowdy Table #9

Right Torch

You sit down at Rowdy Table #9.

Rampant punning has been heard recently.
Go ahead and choose a pun thread.

I dare you!


A board thread.
Need some protection?
Something fishy!
This thread doesn't hava a leg to stand on!
Sew, what's gnu?
Pleas to Stop!
And then the Heralds start...
Stained G-Lass
Attack of the Cydermen

Rosamunde is sitting here at table, she says to you...
"This table sure must be board."
"Wood you be so kind as to tell the table another joke?"
"Saw that one coming, did you?"
"These jokes are going against your grain."
"Is this any way to tree-t good furniture?"

The table groans after listening to this.
The chair tries to pun-t Rosamunde out, but she refuses.
Perhaps this conversation could branch a bit, maybe Rosamunde will leaf.
We may even dig to the root of the issue, or get covered with sap.

Of course if they could speak, they would be very articulate. :-O

If one goes to feast in armour then...

The feastocrat would be the ad-visor.
The ale for the feast could have been brewed in a large pauldron.
You could drink the ale from your cop.
You could eat white chicken meat off of your breastplate.
Or gorge-t yourself on all the other wonderful removes.

But what if the feastocrat had passed on and there was no feast?
We'd all have to greave.

OK. I've been reading this chain of mail, and it would seem it is time for
someone else to sallet in and take the helm. Of torse, I wouldn't normally
be so presumtious as to dis-mantle such a punnish forray, but perhaps we
should make a tasset agreement to harness this power for good. If, however,
this should in-cuisse, vambrace yourself because I'd feel obliged to throw
down the gauntlet. You may ask, with a nasal whine, 'why throw out the baby
with the bascinet?' Well, I ain't poleyn your leg, should this wave of
silliness crest, be prepared to be pommelled, 'cause armet just go sark
raving mad!

Leofric, Baron of Loch Soilleir wrote:
Greetings to all and Sundry Punsters

I feel the need to inform you, should you venture to the Barony of Loch
Soilleir, that I have instituted Pun Taxes. Proceeds of which will enhance
the general revenue of Loch Soilleir (taxes to be collected as some event
to be determined). The current levy is one quarter of a dollar per pun.
This may be increased at the Baron's discretion if the pun is REALLY bad.

In a previous message, Aquilanne excessively punned.

Using this as an example it would have cost the punster at least four
dollars, had the punning occured in Loch Soilleir
(within my hearing; If I don't hear it, I don't tax it).

Warmest Regards

Weld you consider brazing us with some more or your cutting rapier-tay?

So where does the net fall into this? Since you are accessing from within
Loch Soileir is it technically within your herring? Or do you have to tackel
this strickly in side your bourders? Perhaps instead of Taxing punster you
should try and give them help. Many are hooked on this course of action and
find it a matter of halabet. Some would say that they are shark raving mad.
Perhaps it is a shellfish condition of self pleasure, bassing in the reaction
they bring about in otters. In any case it is serious condition where no one
swims.

Aquilanne wrote:
OK, now. If you don't stop you may just give people a haddock and seal your
fate; then you won't be left with a ray of hope. Folks, Philippe's
generally a good boy, and it's my be-reef that eel take social morays into
consideration before diving in over his head in search of an en-dolphin
rush next time he skates over to perch in front of the keyboard. Not that
I'm suggesting he clam up, mind you. That would shore be a beach.

Please,
Come off your perches for a moment! Is it wise to continue to carp
about these things, whether they proceed from a small-mouth or a
large-mouth?

In your writing, as if in my herring, you have trouted out your
statements. Wall-eye have never seined such a kettle of fish as this
before. GARishly you continue, skipjacking your way across the net.

However, when the need arises, one must match pike for pike. Muskie,
at best, is all I can say for your humor.

I think you minn-ow it to yourselves to take thought, lest you flounder.

Happy Fishing For the next Big-one!

Baroness Caterina treadles on precarious ground with:
Strange how that horse thing has played out............became a road kill thing,
now it's a cat thing........WHERE will we go next??!! The string became a rope
from which we're dangling by a thread! Tee hee! I think I see another round of
puns a-comin'!!

Sew. You just had to go and needle us, didn't you? Darn you. I don't mean
to knit-pick, but you realize, of course, winding us up like that is
totally warped. I be-weave we're beginning to suffer from a loss of dignity
on this list, and I feel thoroughly be-weft. I can sense the fabric of
reality folding as we spin our little tales here on the net. I think I'll
just shuttle off and rack my brain for an inkle-ing how to deal with the
issues looming over us. Oh well. They say every cloud has a silver linen.

Wool you please keep this spoolishness be-twine you and me, be-gauze you

Daniel de Lincolia, forcene the livestock puns from Aquilanne

Aquilanne responded:
Make sure you're braced as I a-void responding directly to the challenge.

Daniel, I don't know if I like your attitude. I'm not sure if I should take
it as an affronty or not, but I suppose that could just be pendant on your
mood at any given time. I'm sure you think you raise a salient point, but
then again, assumptions frequently run rampant on this list, don't they? I
mean, what if things were reversed? Would I be stooping to statant things
without support?

But perhaps you're jessed old-fashioned. Not that I'm saying that
urinant-ique to be held in veneration. Perhaps you just didn't nowed what
to say, and kinda pizzled out on us.

heehee

Solder-y for this message but I can't help it.
I see through that colorful attempt to 'lead' us to another topic.
The flux of the matter, you see, is that in order to get the whole
picture we need to stop chipping away at the edges and pull ourselves
together. Perhaps 'U' or 'I' could do this?

It be-WHO-ves me to point out that such a drink would be scarf-ed
down quite quickly, but it sure sounds like such a drink would turn
my belly to jelly, baby! Once the local supply ran out, we would need
a K-9 to track some more down. Hmm...perhaps The Master brewer has a
few cases stashed away? But if we drink too much we may need a
Doctor to rescue us. And if we get into trouble when drunk on this
brew the authorities may have feathered and Tarred-us. Just a comment
about the "Attack of the Cydermen" brew...don't put gold flakes in it!

Angela responded to the response of the response:
Ah!!! I love it!! I'm a big fan of the Doctor myself. I'm glad someone
else picked up on this! :)

What if you use golden delicious apples??
