Proposal: New Forum Section - "Puns"
- Thread starter Pleezerwell
- Start date
Once in a while and humourous is fine.
Way too often and not even remotely funny got old a long time ago.
red: You want answers?
Pleezerwell: I think I'm entitled to them.
red: You want answers?
pleezerwell: I want the truth!
red: You can't handle the truth! Son, we live in a world that has threads. And those threads have to be guarded by men with puns. Who's gonna do it? You? You, Lt. Fuji? I have a greater responsibility than you can possibly fathom. You weep for the topic of the thread and you curse the Punsters. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know: that hijacking of the thread, while tragic, probably saved lives. And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves lives...You don't want the truth. Because deep down, in places you don't talk about at parties, you want me on that thread. You need me on that thread.
We use words like honor, code, loyalty...we use these words as a punchline. You use 'em as a perjorative. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very jokes that I provide, then questions the manner in which I provide them! I'd rather you just said thank you and went on your way. Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a pun and stand a post. Either way, I don't give a damn what you think you're entitled to!
Pleezerwell: Did you order the code pun?
red: (quietly) I did the job you sent me to do.
pleezerwell: Did you order the code pun?
red: You're goddamn right I did!!

Perhaps the prolific punsters should just post their best material, say 10%, and save the rest for private message circle-jerks.
Leave the board wanting more.
Red is out of this world he is the cosmic genius of Terb.
As one of the founding members of the TERB PUN CLUB, this is the non pun code:"fuckyouifyoucantpun" Insert this code just after you punch in your secret Terb code number and no puns will appear in any threads you wish to view. Also you need to PM either Red or Great Bear with your credit card number and your pin code before the non pun code will work properly. Cheers GB
Okay but only if you tell us you are going home again today.
That never gets old either.
That was a very good post by red.
Let's hope it gives the other wannabe punsters something to strive for.
The rational behind "I am going home now" thread is to alert punaters that no puns will be sent until I return from home. In the future I will start threads with " I am back from home", to alert punaters to be alert.
Now that's the kind of humour that's appreciated! Thank you - I enjoyed!
But C Dick summed it up rather well...
I totally support the humour, in fact, encourage it. Even the fine art of delivering puns, otherwise known as 'punnilingus'. But not at the expense of the OP's issue at hand in a thread that's been hijacked by the punsters. It's one thing to be amused by a post or two of wise-ass comments, while it's quite another thing to have to go through 1-2 pages of a thread to get back on topic.
