“Today must be Thursday. I never could quite get the hang of Thursdays.” - Arthur Dent
YAAAYY DOT!!!
I’m glad the show went well. What play is it, anyway? What part do you have? Standing ovations are fun. And you listen to your doctor, you heah? 
Now, I have a slightly more ponderous matter to address with you all. I’ve been thinking – no, wait, don’t reach for your hazmat suits just yet – about my potential to be creative. As you all know, I’ve been doing Puns of the Day every weekday for two and a half months. That’s 55 puns (counting tomorrow’s). That’s a lot of punnery. And it’s a very regular schedule. I’ve been coming up with each day’s pun at midnight. Sure, some of them have been later, due to sometimes not getting back to my room until after midnight, but I’ve never missed one. Not once.
That said, the puns are going on hiatus next week. At first the reason for this was strictly practical: I’m going to Buffalo on Sunday to visit a friend, and I won’t be back until late on Wednesday. I won’t have consistent internet access in the interim. But now there are about 1.73628 more reasons why next week is a pun-free zone. See, I’ve been reading through all the archives of a webcomic called RealLife. Bottom line, it’s hilarious, and right up my alley. It has stuff on video games, politics, annoying things about everyday life, computers, time travel and other physics, all in a deliciously self-referential style. Oh, and swords. Can’t forget the swords.
So, I got to thinking (you may now reach for your hazmat suits). If I can come up with a pun every night, surely I can do something more on the level of this webcomic. Consider it this way: it’s essentially the same style of humor (I’m not just a pun machine, contrary to rumor), only in dialogue form and with some drawing involved. Ay, there’s the rub. I can’t draw to save my life. Literally. If someone were to sit me down at gunpoint at a drawing desk with pens and pencils and colored pencils and markers and proper illumination and everything, and say, “Draw something or I’ll kill you,” I would die. That would be the end of poor drawing-ability-less me.
But I want to branch out. I’m not sure how yet to do this, which is one good thing about taking next week off: I can brainstorm some options. I’m also quite open to suggestions, if any of you guys have some ideas. To what end do you think my talents would be best suited? One thing I probably will do, at the very least, is change the way I do the pun of the day. This dictionary entry format is cute, but it’s getting old. So it might take the form of a fake news article, or a bit of dialogue or something, different from day to day. Or maybe even gasp some poetry. I realize that’s a stunning concept, but I think it just might work.
For now, however, the format remains unchanged:
I’m sorry, but “parents” and “sex” don’t belong in the same sentence. :eek:

I will address the last sentence first, brainiac…"Boy! Ah, say, Boy! Did ya think that one through all the way to the end? :dubious:
As for your musings on the puns, we will miss them severely. No, really. But let the creative juices flow and surprise us. We can do poetry…long as the words rhyme up nice like.
