By the time that song gets to the 8th Day, I ready to put a **partridge** in my revolver. ---

I just love **cartridges.** Is it the Six of Spades? ---

No, you’re thinking of **Card Trick** Thistle, a Glasgow football team that don’t have the glamour of Rangers or Celtic. ---

Maybe they don’t have a lot of glamor, but how many other football teams have mastered\*\* partick \*\*physics? ---

The game Half-Life was well known for its physics engine. I always found the **particle** enemies with their long tongues that would lap up any object that came in contact with them amusing. ---

Uh, wasn’t **Barnacle** Jones a TV detective and not a big tongued nasty? ---

I liked Jonathan Frid’s version of \*\*Barnaby \*\*Collins better than I did Johnny Depp’s. ---

I like\*\* Barnabas\*\*, too. It’s my favorite island in the Lesser Antilles. ---

Jane Fonda playing the titular role in the Sci-Fi sex farce **Barbados** may have visited many places, but the Lesser Antilles wasn’t one of them. ---

I always thought Jane Fonda would be miscast as the delightfully urbane French elephant **Barbarella**. ---

I don’t know - a suitable haircut from a competent **babar** and she’d be good to go. ---

Yeah but then she’d have to gain a lot of weight for the role. She’s probably have to eat a lot and then do a lot of weight training with some **barbers**. ---

Now that the Christmas season is here, I’ve been enjoying one of my favorite songs, the “Carol of the **Barbells**.” ---

It isn’t the Christmas music that gets to me, it’s paying for the presents and finding a way to manage all the **bells**. ---

I’m not worried. When it comes to the ability to make money I’ve got what the kids call “mad **bills**.” ---

And if those kids mock you for your abilities, you can just grab them by the sides of their heads and knock their **skills** together. ---

**Skull**? That’s where Mrs. Maggatowicz taught me the readin’ and the writin’ and maybe even the 'rithmatic (I got the 'rithmatic fierce in my knees). ---

I just hope you never had to sit in the corner on a **school** for punishment like I did. ---

I had one once, but it fell apart and I had the know-how but not the **stool** to put it back together. ---

I’d rather be reading than doing amateur carpentry - has anyone else read _Ship of **Tools** _?
