TriadCity Message of the Day
2008-07-07

Think of those red-white-and-blue WWII recruiting posters: "Uncle Sam needs YOU!" with Sam's finger pointed straight at your nose.

This is kinda similar.

TelGar needs your original puns.

Lots of them.

How many?

Er, well. Thousands. Really.

Please email your original puns to TelGar, who will spiff you up to 500 experience or 500 Dinars, your choice, for each one, depending how much he likes it. Let him know which type of spiff you'd prefer.

Please -- please, please, really, please -- don't send puns which aren't original. If they can be found via Google, we've already got 'em.

Some examples to whet your appetite:

  • What twitches and lies at the bottom of the ocean? A nervous wreck.
  • What brand of beer is drunk by vampires? Bloodweiser.
  • Why is money called dough? Because everybody kneads it.
  • The poet has written better poems, but he's also written verse.
  • I've been to the dentist several times, so I know the drill.
  • That couple who met in the revolving door are still going around together.
  • During an earthquake a bank when into default.
  • Corduroy pillows are making headlines.
  • The best way to communicate with fish is to drop them a line.
  • I wanted to buy some camouflage pants, but I couldn't find any.

See? How much more fun could there possibly be on a warm summer evening?

Thanks and keep 'em coming!

"I will formulate ... a general thesis about modernist fiction: the dominant of modernist fiction is epistemological. That is, modernist fiction deploys strategies which engage and foreground questions such as ... "How can I interpert this world of which I am a part? And what am I in it?" Other typical modernist questions might be added: What is there to be known?; Who knows it?; How do they know it, and with what degree of certainty?; How is knowledge transmitted from one knower to another, and with what degree of reliability?; How does the object of knowledge change as it passes from knower to knower?; What are the limits of knowledge? And so on."
