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!

"[The] dominant of postmodernist fiction is ontological. That is, postmodernist fiction deploys strategies which engage and foreground questions like ... "Which world is this? What is to be done in it? Which of my selves is to do it?" Other typical postmodernist questions bear either on the ontology of the literary text itself or on the ontology of the world which it projects, for instance: What is a world?; What kinds of worlds are there, how are they constituted, and how do they differ?; What happens when different kinds of worlds are placed in confrontation, or when boundaries between worlds are violated?; What is the mode of existence of a text, and what is the mode of existence of the world (or worlds) it projects?; How is a projected world structured? And so on."
