Not sure if this is on the up and up, but I also don't know how many of you browse Craig's List for writing jobs on a regular basis. This is on the DC listing page, but they have them for cities all across the country...

Anyway, just saw the listing and thought of the 'Rack.

I only post this because Craig's List has a pretty good reputation about keepint its site clean. We use it primarily for housing, but scanning the listing site reveals postings from Washingtonpost.com, the National Journal, and the NYT.

I'm usually more in tuna with this sort of thread. Too bass a mind today, I guess.

If that's your sole vice, Porter, we won't hold it against you. You can't always pickerel your own feelings -- sometimes, crappie happens.

Man, people are just reeling them off in here. There are puns trout the thread. But I guess it'll keep going tilapia get finished.

They're taking the bait--hook, line, and sinker.

Yeah, Porter, clam up. How very shellfish of you to try to ruin our fun.

I don't know what triggers the random punning of a thread, but it's happened and we're just going to keep making snapper relies.

There's a bridge near where I grew up in upstate New York which I have jumped off several times. Its fun!

And, yes, I did it because everyone else was.

On a scale of 1-10, I'd rate this pun thread at about 5--definitely of the uninspired variety. As with most pun threads of this ranking, this one will peter out soon. If I were you, Porter, I'd just wait for it to abait.

I'm trying to convince my friend Britt to join the forum. She's an expert at puns. If I can convince her to sign up, Britt'll star in threads like this one.

Did you hear that the Cards are thinking of starting a seperate forum just for pun threads*? It's still in beta while they try to work out the bugs, but I think it's a great idea!

*no, not really. It seems obvious that I'm not serious here, but OSC seems to get a bit crabby when he thinks people are falsely claiming he said something that he didn't, so I thought I'd err on the side of caution and post a disclaimer.

(I thought it was a subtle reference to the card game, "Go Fish!" It'd be just like you to pull a shiner, though. Minnow you too well.)

Well, you'd think so, but CT's failure to post anything further makes it seem to be that she's being koi.
