Sew Many Puns Seemstressful

Peter Kapitola The local haberdashery put in a new access ramp, for those sew inclined.

Brittany Crook I'm glad the council gave their ascent so the store could a dress the issue.

Boyd Zurg I wonder when the other stores will cotton on to its importance and lift their game.

Brittany Crook Maybe now that a descent pattern has been established, the need'll be less overloocked.

Peter Kapitola It was councilwoman Jenny who escalated the issue. People have been quick to Singer praises.

Boyd Zurg Ah yes, weave heard about Jenny and how she takes steps to prevent looming council issues.

Brittany Crook I wonder if she will chair a forum to outline ways to tackle them.

Brittany Crook Although she may have to cut off crafty attempts to elevate less important hobby horses.

Kerryn Kapitola I can't comment because I don't have all the facts to baste my opinion on.

Brittany Crook Well, fine details are hard to pin down.

Kerryn Kapitola I'll needle'l more time as well.

Brittany Crook I suppose careful attension won't go astray - wouldn't want to waist good progress with a bust up.

Granny Mellor Oh to have a local haberdashery!

Peter Kapitola Oh, Jenny is fab(Rick the Mayor often commends her). She's not one to hem and haw or spin things to the press. She's witty too - we're often in stitches listening to her recount a tailor have a yarn. She seams pretty hard to ruffle. Our close-knit community would be clotht without her.

Brittany Crook She sounds like a pearl. Transparency is really important in these situations, and you'd hate t'affeta deal with a crotchety council member.

Kerryn Kapitola Wow, Jenny sounds great.. now I wish I'd satin on one of those council meetings. At lace they'll be another one next month.

Brittany Crook Yeah I missed it too, I'm 'frayed. I woodn't want to be button in, though... If I get an invite by text I'll go.

You Snailed It

Adam Brown Just watched a Youtube video on how snails climb walls.
It was gripping.

Peter Kapitola I take it they drop any extraneous item before the climb.

(So they have lesscargo).

Andrew Nightingale Living the dream there.

Peter Kapitola Was the ending slimactic?

Adam Brown To be honest, it got a bit sluggish towards the end.

Andrew Nightingale Dragged on a bit?

Peter Kapitola Well at least you didn't have to shell out any money to see it then.

Peter Kapitola I'm not sure watching that video is something I could stomach-foot too long at least.

Pun Neuf Diss

Peter Kapitola If a Frenchman's parting pleasantries are too long winded, can you just leave without further adieu?

Michael Evans maybe, but you may be considered rude faux pas-sing by.

Peter Kapitola Yes, doing so would probably baguette some hostility, making him cross aintagonistic and surly.

Richard Kohlhagen Eiffel bad when I upset someone this way. Oui must all do our best to maintain good manners.

Peter Kapitola Abattoir tabout if I bowed as I left? Would that bien neuf to allez your concerns?

Richard Kohlhagen I think I could grant you that small merci.

TK-42pun, why aren't you at your post?

Kerryn Kapitola Before she met Han Solo, Princess Leia was looking for love in Alderaan places.

Thank you. I'm here all week.

Boyd Zurg nah, she just didn't luke hard enough

Peter Kapitola I think you mean all weak.

Peter Kapitola I guess I shouldn't be tauntaun you so much, because you have brought together two of my favourite things.

Boyd Zurg careful Peter, she'll give you a death star(e)

Kerryn Kapitola *sigh* I could try, but he'd just think it was a moon.

Peter Kapitola I have a bad feeling about this.

Boyd Zurg Kerryn, since Windu people mistake your face for your butt?

Kerryn Kapitola Kenobe honest? They are just too many Star Wars puns. Are you going to keep going, Organa stop?

Peter Kapitola They come to you Mos Eisley, do they?

Kerryn Kapitola This could be the punfest to Endor punfests.

Peter Kapitola We may need to Hoth another topic involved as well. I'm feeling hungry, so perhaps we could get some Calamari, Mon?

Boyd Zurg Please don't make such inSidious comments. Seems like you're trying to force the conversation to end.

Peter Kapitola Oh Boyd, your feelings are Hutt so easily.

Boyd Zurg no, its just that there's a darth of good punfests lately

Peter Kapitola Yes, the lack of puns is palpatine.

Peter Kapitola Hmmm, I'm still hungry. With so much at steak, I guess I'd need to go to a fully armed and operational cattle station.

Boyd Zurg I prefer Calamari. Steak's too Chewie.

Ashley Griffiths It's a trap!

Ashley Griffiths Sorry that's all I had

Boyd Zurg Yoda man!

Peter Kapitola The commander of the imperial legion on Endor may have been asleep on the job, but Ewok to quite a surprise.

Kerryn Kapitola This Fett-ish we have with Star Wars puns is just Grievous.

(Did you like that one? You can Padmé on the back)

Boyd Zurg Yep, but puns on this topic r 2 dear 2 withhold.

Richard Kohlhagen Don't force it, but don't jibber Jabba. Binks and you'll miss the next pun.

Peter Kapitola Nice Richard, I C3 puns. Oh how good!

Peter Kapitola Perhaps it's time to let Qui-Gons be Qui-Gons?

Peter Kapitola Kerryn, you know how much I Needa good pun.

Peter Kapitola Y'avin a good time?

Peter Kapitola These puns are so cheap it's like they're having a sale; barge right in!

Kerryn Kapitola Sale of the Millennium?

Peter Kapitola Hmm, these are getting so bad they're starting to smell ranc(or something like that).

Peter Kapitola My sense of humor us only alleJed - I can't prove it exists.

Kerryn Kapitola Well, it's my new hope that we'll saber these times.

Peter Kapitola Ask a marine to open your stuck jar - jarheads are good at that.

Peter Kapitola Don't worry Kerryn, when it comes to that hope you're not a(c)lone.

Peter Kapitola Yep, it's a good sale ... Oh-(just)-buy-one!

Kerryn Kapitola I thought that was the last pun but ... no, there is another.

Kerryn Kapitola I think, perhaps, our journey towards the dark side is complete.

Boyd Zurg Fear is the path to the Dark Side. Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate leads to no more puns.

Luke Koster I'm laughing so hard I have Anakin belly.

Peter Kapitola Perhaps I stole too many of the puns that were left, how sithpicable of me to show such Greed - oh there I go again!

Peter Kapitola Mr. Calrissian was an important part of the Cloud City Lando-wners Association.

Peter Kapitola Admiral Ackbarista asked me to try a nice hot beverage - but it was a frappe!

Peter Kapitola Man, nobody else has added a pun for a long time. I find your lack of pace disturbing.

Luke Koster You Bespin ning out a lot of puns. I'll take a Jabba't a few more.

Luke Koster I'd try for another, but there is no try.

Boyd Zurg Patience you must have, my young padawan.

Luke Koster Maybe I'll have a snack while I try to think of more... *om nom mon mon mothma nom nom*

Boyd Zurg wow you certainly Mauled that snack

Peter Kapitola Yeah, you eat like the Wookie Monster.

Peter Kapitola I think I can Leia few more on the table before they start Rieekan too much.

Vlad's Army

President Putin showing off his new voice activated ear muffs
Peter Kapitola Putin may want to be a shooting Tsar, but wise men say that only fools Russian.

Kerryn Kapitola Oh, Crimea river.

Peter Kapitola Oh Kerryn, Ukraine on my parade so often.

Kerryn Kapitola Kievful, you don't want to sound bitter.

Peter Kapitola Odesa good reason for it Kerryn.

Kerryn Kapitola If this is the way it has to be, then Soviet.

Peter Kapitola ussr you feel that way?

Kerryn Kapitola Moscow conversations always end in puns?

Peter Kapitola Yes, I like to ruble against boring conversations. I wonder what annex one will be? Anyway I have to run. Tatar!

Hannah Taylor Wow - this is a fantastic war! Keep going!!

Kerryn Kapitola I could keep going for days, but Byzantine, I'll just be a Slav to the pun.

Peter Kapitola My sister's pretty clever, Sochi comes up with some good ones. I can only think of a Mir handful.

Peter Kapitola ...not that I think we're done nyet.

Richard Kohlhagen A bit off the Marx with that last one.

Richard Kohlhagen Quit Stalin Peter we're waiting for a revolution

Peter Kapitola OK Richard, it may not have been the crème de la Kremlin of puns, and I know you don't like to beat around the babushka, but could you be a bit more Leniniant on me?

Jessie Kapitola aaarrrggghhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Richard Kohlhagen It's ok Jessie Kapitola it's just a little harmless pun, don't have a Moscow 

Peter Kapitola Maybe she just has low blood sugar. Comrade the fridge with me?

Peter Kapitola You could call me Kerryn's Great Brother...

Richard Kohlhagen It's nearly iron curtains for this post Peter...

Peter Kapitola Maybe. I hope Vladimir doesn't sue me for this. Otherwise he'll be Putin on the writs.

Richard Kohlhagen vodka think peter? to please him shall we discuss the evils of capitalism? hence forth all capital letters are banned!

Peter Kapitola That would Kalashnikov strongly with my sense of grammar.

Peter Kapitola So I guess I would have to offer him my commisar-ations about that.

Richard Kohlhagen AK then, I can see how that would make you see red.

Richard Kohlhagen No missile crisis. I won't use my veto vote.

Peter Kapitola I'm not sure I'd call him classless though. I don't have the Bolsheviks for that. And it wouldn't do a Lada good.

Kerryn Kapitola Is this thing over yet? Cos I really think do svidanya?

Richard Kohlhagen What in the Helsinki is Svidanya? (I know Helsinki is in Finland but I hear Putin is expanding Russia these days)

In Punion There is Strength

Peter Kapitola My humour is like an onion. It's made up of layers, and not to everyone's taste. So far no-one has cried though.

Kerryn Kapitola And, once cooked, it makes the whole house smell wonderful...
...
...
My talent's not analogies.

Peter Kapitola I'll just try and not make it half-baked then.

Peter Kapitola It also contain phenolics and flavonoids that have potential anti-inflammatory, anti-cholesterol, anticancer and antioxidant properties. And that's how an analogy dies.

Kerryn Kapitola I could continue with the analogy, but I think I shall just go forth with onion puns, shallot I?

Boyd Zurg This conversation looks apeeling. May I join?

Kerryn Kapitola Sure. I won't mince words, it might get a bit dicey.

Boyd Zurg As long as you don't get in a pickle, its ok.

Kerryn Kapitola Hmm, well it can be a bit confusing, but I'll sauté out.

Boyd Zurg My humour is like onion powder. It's dry, tasteful ..and only strange people laugh at it

Punderground Explosives.

Peter Kapitola If your boss laid some explosives, but they didn't go off, so your boss asked you to set them up again, but you didn't want to, would you re-fuse?

Michael Evans well, sure, as I'd like to defuse the situation.

Kerryn Kapitola It's certainly a good question to ignite conversation

Lindon Mellor I'm blown away that you would even think of that

Kelly Thomson That could create one very explosive debate!!

Peter Kapitola Yes, I'd better not spark too fiery a debate or I'll be in danger of being hoist by my own petard.

Brittany Crook I'd ask if he'd mind the sight of casual ties.

Brittany Crook (Wouldn't want to be fired for not knowing the code)

Brittany Crook (And clearing it up first might save an arm and a leg)

Chris Roberts It's the sort of thing that could easily blow up in your face.

Peter Kapitola Yes, the situation could really flare up. I guess you'd want to wait and C4 what reason it didn't go off. It would be important for your safety ANFOr the safety of those around you.

Boyd Zurg I detonately would!

Peter Kapitola You're da bomb, Boyd.

Richard Kohlhagen Boss would blow his top if you didn't, he has a really short fuse.

Single Lens Reflux

Get yours here



Peter Kapitola: My coffee helps me focus.

Shemmariah Beth Oh my goodness I need this! lol

Elaine Schneiker Love those mugs!

Chris Roberts It must be nice to fstop and enjoy this while the world zooms by.

Peter Kapitola I think I will just cut to this now:

Chris Roberts So should we try for coffee related puns or have we bean there too?

Peter Kapitola Java couple on hand?

Daniel Braithwaite I'll affagato some puns

Peter Kapitola That was quick (almost by express)so I am impressed.

Chris Roberts Suits me to a tea. But I'm not going to sugar coat it: chai as you might you'll find yourselves in hot water if this becomes a competition. You'll be creamed.

Daniel Braithwaite What level of caffeine exposure do you deem safe? Do you apply any metering to each cup and how fast do you get it down your aperture?

Daniel Braithwaite I could zoom through a few right now, but I'll let the things develop first

Peter Kapitola Don't be so bitter Chris, you're just asking for a roasting. Your attempts are easy to moch - a long black mark on your record in fact. After I give you a good tamping down (which will be more than a frappe on the barista I assure you) you'll be left wondering how I managed to cap you so easily.

Boyd Zurg You guys seem to always be frothing at the mouth with these conversations. Can't you just latte go, and enjoy each other's wit?

Daniel Braithwaite I feel I have to step in at this point and say enough all white. Balance is required. Let's make sure we present ourselves in a good light.

Boyd Zurg Dan, I filter need to say that photography puns have already been milked (see above link). Though I do like how you've blended the two topics in some instant-ces.

Daniel Braithwaite Oh, I am plunging into old ground. Coffee from now on it is

Kerryn Kapitola Well, this punning thing looks pretty easy, I might give it a shot.

Kerryn Kapitola Soy, I'll just skim over all the milk jokes then?

Daniel Braithwaite The puns here ma-de scale to new altitudes


Did this make you laugh or do you have any more to contribute? Please add them in the comments section.

Glue-ten Free

Chris Roberts Pro-tip: For people who work with kids - When making lunch at your desk do NOT mix up the bottles of mayonnaise and the PVA glue.

Peter Kapitola That would leave you in a bit of a bind.

Peter Kapitola It sounds like you were in a bit of a sticky situation there Chris. I hope it was a bonding experience for you and your kids.

Boyd Zurg What a fasten-ate-ing ingredient that would be!

Peter Kapitola That's one way to adhere to your diet...

Boyd Zurg ...and it's a good staple food.

Peter Kapitola Uhu don't pay attention will end up with claggy sandwiches.

Tips for Butter Photography

My son was caught dragging my SD card through a tub of butter. This actually happened. There's another sentence in the English language I never realised I'd be saying.
#thisiswhywecanthavenicethings

Peter Kapitola The photos are fine thankfully, although the white balance is slightly yellow and the colour is a bit polyunsaturated.

Daniel Braithwaite Dairy me Peter, it's enough to make my stomach churn

Peter Kapitola Daniel, it wasn't long ago that Chris Roberts and I milked the dairy puns for all their worth. So perhaps we'll change focus and see what develops? I can already hear Jessie shutter.

Peter Kapitola I hope this thread doesn't take a negative turn.

Peter Kapitola Sorry, photography just lens itself well to puns. And I do Leica good pun.

Tiang Cheng I hope you told him that he canon do that again

Peter Kapitola I let him know I didn't think his behaviour was too flash, and that ISO not wanting it to happen again.

Peter Kapitola I told him that if he didn't f-stop that behaviour he would risk my ire-is.

Peter Kapitola We'll at least I've exposed his bad behaviour for all to see.

Peter Kapitola Well shoot, I think I may have run out of puns. Or not!

Peter Kapitola This sort of behaviour has been cropping up from time to time.

Peter Kapitola Yes as long as we frame it in terms of a punishment.

Peter Kapitola Acting up seems to be a bit of a reflex at the moment.

Peter Kapitola Maybe the dark room will give him some new perspective?

Peter Kapitola It will make him see the contrast between the consequences of good and bad behaviour?

Peter Kapitola Anyway, we'll see how it all pans out.

Forever hold your puns

Peter Kapitola I know my fans will be brideling at this, but so far the speech I'm writing for Quenten and Eve's wedding tomorrow doesn't contain any puns.

Terry Rankine Dislike....

Kerryn Kapitola That would certainly be bouqueting the trend

Peter Kapitola If I start dropping puns even the wedding cake will be in tiers.

Kerryn Kapitola Aisle have to hear it later

Peter Kapitola I would be fitting though. I mean, the bride does get a new name and a dress.

Kerryn Kapitola If it's a really nice dress, you can ask her if she used lots of satins, though she'll probably just say, "Nup, tulles."

Peter Kapitola I wonder if they'll be serving many melons and the reception. It's all been well planned now, so they can'telope.

Kerryn Kapitola Well, you know how I feel about weddings... I like to keep my feelings veiled and my emotions gartered.

Peter Kapitola At least that means you don't gossip. You are truly made of honour.

Joel Beaver Dont forget to be punctual

Peter Kapitola Aha.... I managed to fit one it. It's a computer science pun so it will go over a few heads. Quenten and Eve will get it though.

Kerryn Kapitola Considering I'm not involved in the wedding party or their families, this particular wedding renders me speechless.

Kerryn Kapitola Ukraine? I can hear the Wales from here

Peter Kapitola Namibiam being too harsh on her

Kerryn Kapitola nah, I don't think so, just as long as you don't russia

Peter Kapitola I think part of it was that she was getting a bit hungary

Peter Kapitola Sometimes you just gotta get food india

Tragedy and Comedy

Lindon Mellor
7 news should get an award for their ability to make comparisons - "This woman lost her husband a year ago and now she's lost her garden" *shows picture of a small vege patch flooded.

Punderground Mining

Peter Kapitola If Gina Rinehart went into politics, would she only have a miner party?

Terry Rankine Watch Gruen Nation's ad competition from last night and find out....

Peter Kapitola Blast! I can't view that at work. I'm guessing they struck comedy gold with that one though.

Lee Herridge *boom tish*

Peter Kapitola Thanks for propping me up Lee. I consider my puns well refined so my ego was starting to cave in.

Lee Herridge No problems bro - I got your back 

Richard Kohlhagen Just keep digging Peter

Peter Kapitola I know these puns are fairly oreful, but we're nowhere near exhausting this vein. Perhaps Boyd Zurg, Chris Roberts, Kerryn Kapitola, Adam Brown or Daniel Braithwaite can deposit some further wit? Feel free to just fly in, comment and fly out.

Daniel Braithwaite Could be return of the iron lady

Boyd Zurg Sorry to get your Hope Downs, but I find this topic rather boring at the moment (working in the industry does that to you)..

Kerryn Kapitola You might have a whole brainful of puns but I can't be bothered to Open Mine.

Richard Kohlhagen You have a very opal mine Kerryn Kapitola, I'm sure if you drill down into this conversation you'll find some real gems

Kerryn Kapitola I shied away when you wrote those words, you could even call this place my bauxite.

Peter Kapitola Assay, these are some mighty fine puns, what silver tongues we all have.

Out-troy-geous

Peter Kapitola
Never look a gift horse in the mouth. Unless it comes from the Greeks.

Kerryn Kapitola that wasn't very good, keep Troying.

Peter Kapitola Kerryn, your put-downs are taking me to Helen back.

Adam Brown Always be aware of things that go greek in the night.

Peter Kapitola Puns have always been my Achilles heel.

Kerryn Kapitola Ok, I'll be more supportive. Troy, Troy Athen Troy some more.

Peter Kapitola Thanks Kez. I was felling Illiad for a while there.

Kerryn Kapitola That's okay, it's just nice to pun with you again. It's like they say, there's no place like Homer.

Protracted

Peter Kapitola posted to Chris Roberts
Support the farmers with a pro-tractor.

Chris Roberts You're not angling for this to become another all-encompassing, protracted list of puns are you? Because if so I'd like to set square boundaries or rules.

Erik Olsen As a rule, I would not call this funny

Peter Kapitola You're right, we don't want to go off on tangents now do we? I'm acutely aware of what normally happens. We'll start off with math puns but end up progressing onto rather irrational topics.

Chris Roberts Then we'll get competitive with increasingly obtuse attempts at pun-upmanship as we try to figure out what is the right triangle based pun to use (until some square equals the two sides by helping out). How about, rather than circling one another as it gets worse by degrees, I wave goodbye and sign off now and you agree to co-sign off at the same time?

Peter Kapitola I don't like your negative angle Chris, was responding like that just a reflex? Don't think of this as an argument - we actually complement each other nicely. That's not just hyperbole, I really mean it. So no I won't sine off, we've only used a fraction of the available puns in this set.

Peter Kapitola tagged Kerryn Kapitola, Daniel Braithwaite, Boyd Zurg, Adam Brown

Daniel Braithwaite I'll get some ideas on the boyle

Boyd Zurg Why draw me into this pointless diskussion? I have nothing to add

Boyd Zurg ..although, I suppose I could offer some perspective; I've been told I'm a lateral thinker (tend to look outside the box)

Kerryn Kapitola well look who just did a 180

Boyd Zurg What do you Mean? I was merely differentiating between the spheres of my capacity to contribute.

Peter Kapitola Thanks guys for integrating yourselves into the conversation - it seems like your kind of area. With only a minimum of people the humour starts to get a bit derivative and doesn't function well.

...

Peter Kapitola It's been a day since the last pun. Does that make this the aftermath?

Boyd Zurg Yes. Putting it planely, the conversation was too one-dimensional. Perhaps you could also talk about agriculture? Or would that be too hard to coordinate?

Peter Kapitola I'm sure that would be quite fertile ground for some puns. If we dig deep, I'm sure we can unearth a great harvest.

Kerryn Kapitola Yeah, but I'm in Europe, so these conversations are really hard to keep tractor of.

Chris Roberts That's why you don't need just any tractor, you need a pro-tractor!

Peter Kapitola Isn't it amazing what puns crop up when you combine two topics. I'm not even furrowing my brow thinking of these.

Daniel Braithwaite Looks like this post has transformed from math based puns to farming. I like the vector.

Daniel Braithwaite Ewe could have a field-day with such a matrix of topics.

Boyd Zurg Imagine if there was such a thing as a math-farmer. You could use axes to cut your product at its root, then put it in Descartes, tessellate at the market. Life would be so much β.

Boyd Zurg I'd be in my natural domain. I could sit on the complex plane, under a factor tree, making corny jokes whilst listening to the cows μ.

Kerryn Kapitola Stuff the farming part, we know I'm only in it to eat pi.

Daniel Braithwaite I'll have sum pi too.

Peter Kapitola Boyd Zurg, you win the internet.

Punfurnished

Chris Roberts Many years ago two brothers invented a cabinet full of sliding receptacles for storing clothes. One wanted to call each receptacle a 'sliding shelf', the other a 'convenient compartment'. They fought about it for years, but neither could convince the other. So in the end they called it a draw.

Craig Sutton-Smith Just as well they didn't call it a tie.

Peter Kapitola Oh Chris, you really have to draw jokes out, don't you. But I don't suppose there's any way we are going to shelve your sense of humour for good. You wear it constantly like a robe to ward off tedium. I'm sure there's a good name for a robe that does that but I can't think if one right now.

Chris Roberts Well Peter, I'm happy to furnish you with some suggestions if you ever wish to win the punning cup. Bored as you might feel by these jokes I'd like to table a suggestion before we put them to bed. Maybe rather than lampooning other's wit you should consider showing some chairity. Sofa you've just made a couple of puns that I'd deskribe as lazy. Boy, you could be getting these from a book (case in point).

Peter Kapitola Well, you've certainly given me a good dressing down and chaisetening. But perhaps you could have couched it in less abrasive terms, and with more polish. I feel somewhat buffeted about, so perhaps more cushioning would have been in order. Anyway, I can't lounge around here all day, better run.

Daniel Braithwaite Chris and Peter, your puns remind me of a stool.

Punhelpful


Jessie Kapitola Please can we have your help? My friend Libby and I are going to start a blog with recipes and food tips etc for families with children who have multiple food allergies and also for easy children's meals ... but we are struggling with a name. We are tossing up between 'Not much to work with' and 'Mothers of invention'. We'd love your thoughts ... or any better ideas you have too!

Fumble Beginnings


This blog started in Decemeber 2012 as a way of saving the transcripts of the extended pun-fests that I've been a part of (not those that I've been apart of).
