I don’t remember an episode in which anyone got sick and had to go to the hospital in _Bridget Loves **Gurney**._ ---

Some day I’m going to head out into the desert and go to the **Bernie** Man festivities. ---

I’ve never been, although some friends of mine have, and it sounds cool. Are those held anywhere near **Burning** -ham, Alabama? ---

I’m surprised more people from the 70’s and 80’s haven’t lost all their hair, what with all the **birming** and other processing they did back then. ---

I think that you are thinking about a cat, when it’s happy, will start **perming**. ---

I love working out in the garden, but I hate **purring** the roses. ---

Oh, I love **pruning** , my penchant for paronomastic wordplay is practically unparalleled! ---

And when you run out of ideas for wordplay, I assume you just resort to **punning** , like American Football teams frequently do on 4th down. ---

Whenever Sen. Bedfellow comes to speak on our town square, you can be sure that the bandstand will be strewn with red, white and blue **punting**. ---

Madame Pepperwinkle and I share similar but not exact tastes in television. For example, she enjoyed Married with Children, but I wanted no part of Al or Peggy **Bunting**. ---

Peggy had little in the way of cooking or baking skills, if I remember right, so Al probably never had a good homemade **Bundy** cake with his Sunday morning orange juice. ---

Ah, I remember the **Dundee** - a comic filled with wonderful characters, not least the cow-pie-eating Desperate Dan. Mind you, I was more a Beano reader myself. ---

Sometimes I’m stuck for a response and type something stupid, but then get a burst of inspiration and hit **“Undie”** before entering my (hopefully) wittier reply. ---
