Re: eBay - Stheno (again)
The white streak in her hair reminded me of Lady Polgara the Sorceress, Dutchess of Erat, from the Belgariad and the Malloreon series by David Eddings.
I wonder if Paul ever read those, because his stuff reminds me of them fairly frequently compared to other modern stories.

He's mister GlytchMeister, he's mister code
He's mister exploiter, he's mister ones and zeros
They call me GlytchMeister, whatever I touch
Starts to glitch in my clutch!
I'm too much!

The Pun Jar is closing in the fore. It's saying something about you having borrowed a pillow, and owing it a down payment.

Re: eBay - Stheno (again)
Maybe Stheno would be willing to float me a loan, even if she is a wet blanket socially. Though perhaps Atsali has started saving up her own little nest egg of cash rather than simply winging it on her future finances; she might lend me something, assuming that the down payment isn't enough to alarm the siren. She is a minor and a tad flighty, but perhaps with Katherine's permission she'd be willing to put quill to parchment.Dave wrote:Catawampus wrote:By careful appraisal.Jabberwonky wrote:How can you see her mortgage from that angle?

So, you're saying that you think she will be a willing quill shill for your thrill-bill?Catawampus wrote: She is a minor and a tad flighty, but perhaps with Katherine's permission she'd be willing to put quill to parchment.

How do you people do this? You two need a spot on the Hurricane of Puns page in TV Tropes.

Re: eBay - Stheno (again)
In my case, it's probably due in part to exposure to lots of Rocky & Bullwinkle at an impressionable age.GlytchMeister wrote:How do you people do this?

Re: eBay - Stheno (again)
It's amazing. I can't pun at all, my brain just can't produce that kind of stuff. The residents of this forum frequently leave me in simultaneous awe and pain from the number and magnitude of the puns that get thrown around, almost every day.

Re: eBay - Stheno (again)
For me at least, it's all in the connections. To exercise this, think of a topic word, then try to quickly list any and all words which may connect to it. By connection, I mean by rhyme, meaning, or association. Then pick one of those words, and repeat. For example:GlytchMeister wrote:It's amazing.

Re: eBay - Stheno (again)
My punnery blossomed after getting into Sluggy Freelance. Atomic is right about the connections, recognizing rhyming or similar structure of words being the most important in my humble opunion.

I blame the fact that I learned much of my initial English from reading Tolkien's books. You know how he was with language and words. I probably developed all sorts of linguistic bad hobbits from that start.

Re: eBay - Stheno (again)
Be careful, Dave may pun-ish us!
I too flourished on a steady diet of Rocky & Bullwinkle. Definitely not a cartoon for just kids! Speaking of kids, today's just don't know what they are missing.

Re: eBay - Stheno (again)
I grew up on Loony Toons and Tom & Jerry. Good stuff. This SpongeBob, Aventure Time, and... I think it's called the Regular Show? Anyway, these modern cartoons are crap. I can still enjoy an episode of Tom & Jerry. I can't stand a single second of modern toons. I react about the same way an irritable cat does to being rubbed the wrong way.Hansontoons wrote:Be careful, Dave may pun-ish us!

Re: eBay - Stheno (again)
I blame Rocky and Bullwinkle at a young age, and, I think, a touch of dsylexia. Having the words turn themselves into puns helps...
