Invisible Idiots

Holds his nose and runs screaming out of the bar :smiley:

Thank you, thank you. I’ll be here all week. :smiley:

I’ve seen a computer game that has them, it was from the creators of You Don’t Know Jack but wasn’t part of that series.

Did I ever mention that I used to breed snakes? Yup, I did. Mostly Kingsnakes, Corn snakes, and a few others. Geckoes, too. But, one of my all time favorites, for a number of reasons, was the Rubber Boa. Cute little guys. :slight_smile: They’re from the Pacific Northwest, you know. The only species of boa found outside the tropics. At the time, they were rarely kept in captivity.

Anyway, I managed to get hold of two pair of hatchlings; two males, two females. Being more of a pet owner than a business, I had to come up with names for them. Right off the bat, I came up with Gum, India and Sponge. Well, they’re Rubber boas, after all.

My wife, at the time, whom I should mention was the one who got me into snakes, cringed. But, she was used to this sort of thing from me, and had built up a certain amount of tolerance. It wasn’t until I told her the second male’s name, that she threw a pillow at me. That was her equivalent of holding her nose and running out of the bar. As I recall, she threw every pillow on the sofa at me, that time. Just because I’d named him Spock.

sips his drink and waits

“Seems like a silly thing to get upset about, if you ask me.” I said warily. “I mean, what’s in a name?”

sips

Uh huh. I thought so, too.

sips

I mean, who wouldn’t want the world’s only Vulcanized Rubber Boa?

Smash!

Ahhhhhhhhhhh!!! holds nose and exits the bar

:smiley:

You know, we really ougta starta new GodAwful Puns™ thread for this stuff.

Thank you, thank you! :smiley:

I should maybe not admit this, but that is an absolutely true story. It’s how I earned my Masters; an MPU (Master of Puns UnGodly). I have more, but that’s my true masterpun.

You mean there really isa rubber boa? Unbelievable snort.

Sounds good to me. Are there a lot of punslingers in these here parts, Sheriff?

How about another idiot?

This one should even give you guys trouble. :wink:

LOL! :smiley: Yeah. Charina bottae, IIRC.

Emerill Lagasses. :stuck_out_tongue:

Strike the last S. (preview is your friend, Q.E.D.)

looks around, realizes she is unbelievably out of her league in the Really Bad Pun department, so decides to toss out another puzzle

Awfully mundane and pointless, isn’ it, then? :smiley:

J-Lo bugs the hell out of me.

And me, as well. :smiley:

Wow— that was fast (probably because I made it easy). :wink:

Five minutes later…

I should’a known better. The man’s just toying with me.

HIJACK

<shaking> That was really scary. I just came from the “I have two options [If I want to die happy]” thread and I got flamed for the first time! It was scary! I don’t want people to hate me! What should I do?

/HIJACK

I know how ya’ feel. That’s how I feel in the puzzle department, usually.

Clue me in, on this one…

How does melting = the? I might have actually gotten this one, had I seen it before Q.E.D. Gonzales solved it, because I’ve actually heard of J-Lo. :slight_smile:
