Subject says it all, but I have more to say.

Now, Bob, I know there is a certain recovery time involved when mothers meet, but this is unacceptable.

Look, I am taking a freaking MATH CLASS. I need to exercise my brain in a different way. I need a new Pun Smackdown, and I need it now.

There is a live Railroad Earth cd in it for you if you deliver...

Oh, heck, I was just about to give Bob a load of crap about there being no smackdown, but then I read my last post, promising a cd which I have not delivered yet.

Oh, well.

Bob, maybe some sort of traffic theme to celebrate your new presidential status?

Wow, I have not given Bob the business for a while!
Well, here goes:

You know, it seems, Bob that you are not only slacking, but wallowing in prenuptial smackdown inertia. We have a new member on board, who is ready to pun, and who thinks puns are the highest form of humor, not the lowest.

Quick, before we lose her!

(Bob's on a business trip. Why don't you start your own pun smackdown?)

(Because I wasn't the one addressed, but I had relevant information, so I gave it to Elizabeth as an aside... in my head, putting paranthesis around something means I'm leaning over and telling her quietly.)

Elizabeth, don't you mean that it's just not as much pun?

Not to mention that it'd feel like some sort of copyright infringment. I can't see Bob getting overly concerned but you just never know. Perhaps Dag could chime in on the legalities of punfringement?

I would also like to point out that Bob is usually quite punctual when prodded to produce.

Edit to add that I would assume that dkw has already taken note of this. [Wink]

I think the problem is Bob no longer believes puns in a limited scope are truly reflective of the depth and beauty of the over-arching pun universe.

He's become a puntheist.

Well, he certainly qualifies as a pundit on the topic.

Since Bob isn't here, and Elizabeth hasn't posted in this thread for half an hour or so, perhaps we should wait tilde come back.

Personally, I'd hate to see the next to the last pun thread. How about a superpunerary one instead?

I would really enjoy an activity like that. I'm assuming most who frequent these punning threads would as well. It seems we all have a punchant for wordplay.

Although sometimes we can be too pundantic.

True, and sometimes the puns are obscure and almost impunetrable.

I don't think so, Elizabeth, but if you showed that you were truly punitent I would say it didn't matter either way.

Liz, you should be sent to the punitentiary. While there, you should be pun-ished.

We've been dicussing remorse. I'd like to focus, now, on another emotion. Have you ever read another's pun and wished that you had punned that well? Have you eyed the length and complexity of someone else's effort and felt that you were somehow lacking? If you have answered yes to either of these question then you have experienced punis envy. Not to worry, this can be overcome with a new mood altering aroma. This pun gent odor will have you drilling home devastatingly witty puns in no time. If your intense punning lasts longer than four hours please seek immediate medical attention.

I was surprised to find out how much the British liked puns. I mean, their greatest legend is Arthur Pundragon.

Well, perhaps, but they later deciede that the pun was mightier than the sword.

Well, time for another Pun Smackdown Prod. Looking back at the first post, it has been a year of having to remind Bob that he has an unpaid job with no benefits to do.

Come on, Bob, you've been moving, Dana is an Elder, you got married, there must be something in there worthy of smacking down, pun style.
