OT: Don't Pun if you can't pun
Alright, everyone knows we here on MGoBlog love our puns. Love them like a hot chick slathered in BBQ sauce.
However, the Do It Best Hardware store near my home has taken to putting puns on the sign out front of their store, advertising products. The past two weeks:
"Bird seed on sale! Cheep Cheep Cheep!"
and
"Hmmmm.... how about a hummingbird feeder?"
GRARARAGHH! I will stab you in the eye!
I don't know why they upset you.
Totally undigestible and just plain ugly.
This symbollism makes no sense. You mention corn to call the jokes corny, you relate them to corn craps - a personal favorite of mine, which makes me think that they're good - and then you call them undigestable and ugly. So many conflicting emotions.
you will reap in confusion.
Sorry, next time I'll farm out my agrarian commentary.
I'm beginning to think you planted the OP for no other reason than harvesting a few cheap puns. Well, if the price is right I'll buy a few pecks. Sign me up for a bushel.
The way you dovetailed one pun after another, nesting them within a single paragraph; it reminds me of a Fabrege egg.
Eye sclera punch the next pun maker retina face.
I thought they were just ducky... maybe a few mynah problems, perhaps a difference of a pinion, but certainly nothing they should have any egrets over.
Would you call these cardinal sins?
They're definitely something to crow about!
That was just plain fowl
Better Duck!
(Ouch... now I have to stab myself in the eye.)
You silly goose.
(Stab my eye while you're at it)
This thread is already making me gaggle.
It's already a lot to swallow.
open wide
one in the hand.
(or two in the bush.)
But... I don't want to see somebody else's cockatoo!
The chicks love it!
This thread is for the birds.
you sound like the finch who stole Christmas.
such a little pecker.
I'm sorry. That was really rude. It took a lot of gull.
You're the one taking a gander at my pecker.
You dodo! I'm the rude one!
You didn't deserve that kind of tweetment.
taken this thread right off the rail!
And if you get that, you get a +1 audubonded to your total.
though the boxes are so small at this stage that I have to crane my neck to read anything. Still, I'm having a very pheasant experience.
that things may take a tern for the worse.
Gannet?
Wren will it end?
Pun and palindrome.
I'll just wing it.
nevermind, guess i am not that TALONted.
I think this thread deserves a 2 minute penalty for it's fowl play.
You were Robin someone else's pun.
Fowl play was not used, just plain fowl was used. Yes the word fowl was used once, but not in the same context.
but there's no reason to get stark raven mad about it.
Not mad at all, I think this thread is a HOOT! <---see what I did there?
It still sounded as if you were parroting Mud.
It takes a lot of Gull to steal another man's pun. You should go put your head in the sand
Two bird puns in 1 post, +1.
be time for your swan song.
Are you quacking wise?
to take a swan dive.
but the other just makes me shake my head in disapproval. Obviously noobs to the pun bizz.
which one is the "bird one"?
Sorry, got lazy.
Are your expectations soaring high?
I'm asking too much to expect them to raise their game a little.
