A pun for all seasons. Winter, spring, summer and fall. We're raking in puns. It doesn't matter weather you post now or later, as long as you give all parts of the year their equal knocks.

I'm not much of a punster, but I hope someon uses "The winter of our discontent made glorious summer by this son of York".

My Grandfather once saw a sign that read something akin to: "The discount of our winter tents ..." and it went on with something else very clever that now compeltely alludes me. Stupid memory. [Grumble]

I hope I don't come off as a flake, but I'm afraid I'm not quite catching your drift Hobbes. Maybe if you could remember more of it?

Well it's time to spring into action. I don't want to fall by the wayside. Summer say that these puns are too easy but you never know, they might winter biggest prize.

The following is a true story, the names have been changed to protect the (innocent?). I've got a lady friend that is a bartender. One day when I visited her establishment she informed me that she was taking on an alias. She said that strippers did it and she thought it was kinda cool. She was quite proud of her new nome de'plume, Snow. I told her I preferred blizzard. When she asked why I replied, "Because Blizzard is Snow that blows hard." She was quite amused and reminds me every now and then that it was her favorite pun.

I'm forecasting that we get flurry of flakes posting in this thread. Soon we will be knee-deep in whether or not puns. This accumulation will make it difficult to plow through the thread.

I am getting so sick of telemarkers calling my house. The world is going downhill, I tell you.

You need to chill about those telemarkers, Liz. Migrate aunt used to work for one.

It was around this time of year when the first two brothers got in an argument. Abel's last words were "Hurry, Cain." Then he got blown away. It was a great sacrifice, of course, but it ultimately resulted in Cain's marking and expulsion. Furthermore, he had to wear a distinctive garment -- a sleaveless tunic with the note "ridicule me" pinned to the back. Yep, it was the har vest.

My doctor diagnosed me with Seasonal Affective Disorder. She said I'd feel blossom in the Winter.

Whenever we raked leaves, we always had our Irish cousin help with bagging them.

"Who'll put these leaves in the bag?" someone would ask.

"Clora'll fill them," I'd answer.

And Clora would turn all sorts of shades and decline. Basically, she was way too old to be doing this. And besides she had a catheter and that just makes it difficult to bend over all the time. Yep, she'd reached the Foley age.

Really? We were French, so my grandfather always did the raking. We would say, "Don't worry, Pere Ennie'll rake them!"

My french friends had a special car they would use only in winter. It was a hivercraft.

A friend of mine had a neutered bull that he had trained from its youth to be ridden like a horse.

He called it an Equine -Ox.

He said it equaled anything he'd ridden before, but I said the difference must be night and day.

Let me guess, he'd ride it for exactly 12 hours at a time, right?

Remind's me of the mafia don who had a girlfriend who wouldn't sleep with him. Finally Sal's tease gave in, which heralded the onsite of long nights.

I went to the far north to follow my dream of being in the Guinness book of world records for worlds largest ice sculpture. If you'd care to see my entry, it's on page 273 under the heading "Snow man is an island."

While lounging around the ruins of ancient architecture, visitors to Rome are often plagued by ticks. They are of a type indigenous to this part of Europe, and are know as the Arch Tick. An even rarer variety of insect, some sort of parasitic beetle, feeds only on Arch Ticks, and is known as the Anti-Arch Tick.

I was surprised to find out that they've invented a season for all of us who complain about the Christmas sales being too early in the year. Ad vent!

Hay! Now you're grasping at straws. I think this thread is spinning out of control. We should put a warning label on it:

Caution! May gyrate!

Before this gets squashed, we should all remember what a gourd thread it was. I myself was reminded of this while inflating my sister's Air Jordans. Yes, it's good to pump kin.

I have a friend who stutters a bit.

He says things like, "Well, we aut--umm. er. I mean uh, the race, er, some-er-ah want to be the you know win-ter um."

If feels like it takes him three months to get a sentence out.

Quit wining. Every four years around this time, it's the same thing from you! Boo Hoo Jolly New Vote.

(oh well, that wasn't very good, but it was at least seasonal).

We studied arrests in criminal procedure today and did a hypothetical about Gore getting arrested.

Siezin' Al law just isn't that interesting.

I crossed a horse with an ox. I got an Equine-ox, twice a year.

I knew these hippies who named one kid Summer and one kid Spring. When ever they see each other its Seasons Greetings.

Discount Tent For Hobbes -- I didn't make it, just found it on the Internet and have long since forgotten who actually made it.

But I guess now, it's a well-seasoned image.

McCormick's favorite holiday was Halloween - he dressed as Death. McCormick's Reaper was famous.
