Exactly what it says on the tin. My friends and I started playing this at lunch today, and I was so amused (yes, maturity, I know) I’ve decided to share it with you! Some of the better ones I remember: Home is where the porn is. A porn in the hand is worth two in the bush. Two’s company, three’s a porn. ---

Porn makes the heart grow fonder. Out of porn, out of mind. When you come to the porn in the road, take it.(Sorry, Yogi) ---

Nervous as a cat in a room full of porn. Let’s cross that porn when we come to it. It’s raining cats and porn. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of porn. Busier than a one-armed paper hanger-with porn. If you can’t stand the porn, get out of the kitchen. Houseguests and porn stink after three days. ---

My wife’s birth name was “Pornthip”. It’s a regular Thai first name considered to sound “pretty”. Her grandmother apparently later changed it. Not bad in Thailand, but I can’t imagine having that name in an English speaking country. Kittiporn sounds even worse. Random Kittiporn and Pornthips from the internet: [Kittiporn 1](http://www.facebook.com/babybrowneye?_fb_noscript=1) [Kittiporn 2](http://www.hi5.com/friend/p232625039--friend--html) [Kittiporn 3](http://th-th.facebook.com/people/Kittiporn-Phitak/571839414) [Pornthip 1](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/dd/Pornthip_Papanai_June_5_2007.jpg) [Pornthip 2](http://www.nationmultimedia.com/2008/06/26/politics/images/30076542-01.jpg) (this one is a famous doctor) [Pornthip 3](http://www.champace.co.th/history/images_champace/b_pornthip.jpg) One of my FB friends’ name is “Kittipong”, who is male. I think that’s a cool sounding name. ---

“Dammit, Jim, I’m doctor, not a pornographer!!” One porn to rule them all, one porn to find them One porn to bring them all and in the darkness bind them. “Not pron, pr0n!!!” Later today, if I get the chance, I shall have “Porn” by Cyrano de Bergerac, a study in how to insult the nose… ---
