That’s Some Bad Puns... The MMP

Ok, I assume most of y’all know that Dean Martin classic That’s Amore. There was this thread at Skip’s Magic Board that got outta hand like pretty much every thread does over there and went from gluin’ stuff to various parts of gt’s body (if you want to know what, you gotta go over there, register yourself and see, so go google Skip’s place) to That’s Amore puns. So, of course, I hadda get in on all the puns, thus here are my contributions. Feel free to add your own.
When our habits are strange
and our customs deranged
that’s our mores

When a sand-coated board
buffs your nails, yes milord
that’s emory.

If a glacier’s retreat
piles up stones at its feet
that’s a moraine.

What the palest young man
needs to get a good tan,
that’s some more rays.

When Othello’s poor wife,
she gets stabbed with a knife
that’s a Moor, eh?

When a Japanese knight
used a sword in a fight
that’s Samurai.

When you toast marshmallows,
Place on grahams, add chocos
That’s a 'smore

Runs on gas, Goes putt-putt
And your grass, it can cut
That’s a mower eh?

Milwauk’ goil, newsroom toil
Mister Grant is her foil
That’s a Mary

When you ace your last tests
Like you did all the rest
That’s some more "A"s!

When your horse chews dried grass,
And then begs for more, alas,
That’s some more hay.

When you go to a dance,
Wearin’ your fancy pants,
That’s a soiree!

Do feel free to add your own or carry on about whatever like usual, I’m good either way.

HAPPY MONDAY EVERYBODY!

Ha! First to reply! Yay! :smiley:

now, I’ll read it :smiley:
eta:

When an eel swims by
with a gleem in its eye*
That’s a Moray

*I’ve never actually seen a Moray eel with a gleem in it’s eye, but I wanted to add at least one stanza to the list

Drat! Missed it by *this *much! Now I have to read the OP. :smiley:

Y’all are either dkrnu or as caffienated up as me. :stuck_out_tongue:

The Othello one really made me laugh. :smiley:

I’ve been spending the last hour browsing teaching jobs across the country. I should probably turn my attention to the job I actually have right now and get to bed if I’m to rise at 6am. :: groan ::

Haze - since you’re a singer, you (and anyone else interested) would appreciate this (which I’d posted in the last MMP, but it might have gotten overlooked due to swampbeer’s and my little jockeying for last position game):
those of you with iTunes - check out the new self titled album by Jeanne Marie Boes (she’s one of my chorus mates) - she sings and plays piano and I think (but I’m not sure) she wrote all the songs on the album.

Swampy, puns are supposed to be bad, not funny! :mad: :smiley:

Is the weekend over with already? This “working” thing really bites. Why, oh why, won’t somebody come along and support me in the style to which I wish to become accustomed?

When there’s weapons galore
behind a closed door
That’s Armory

It’s a good thing I have a bad memory for puns. I know I’ve probably seen them before, but I giggled a lot anyway.

No amore puns from me though…I can barely manage haiku, don’t ask me for anything that rhymes (even badly)…

I slept from 10 to 11 or so. And now I’m awake again. I think I’ve slept too much this weekend.

I’m hoping to have one productive weekend day tomorrow. But not counting on it. I’m paranoid that I’ll forget that I’m getting my hair cut. It’s normally on my calendar at work, but I don’t have to work tomorrow, so…

::Pause to go put note on fridge::

Guess I’ll try falling asleep again. Hopefully I’ll do better than I did yesterday.

HEE! I like that one BioRosie

Oh and the eel one… there was one at Skip’s place that someone else did before me but one I like a lot…

When you swim in the sea
And an eel bites your knee
That’s a Moray!

There was also another one that I really like from Skip’s place. Since the person who did it is also a doper, I’ll post it here. Hey Baker if you do a vanity search, you’ll see this! :stuck_out_tongue:

Make a white sauce with cheese
Pour it over green peas
That’s a mornay!

rosie, your friend has a wonderful voice. :slight_smile: I love hearing singing with just piano or guitar.

Okay, really, I’m going to bed.

Morning all! Great OP, swampus! Sorry I have no skill whatsoever in that direction, so I will just have to content myself with enjoy others’ efforts!

Not much to add this morning - I did watch Kinky Boots on satellite TV last night - very funny and at times poignant movie, so my song this morning comes from the soundtrack:

[James Brown]This is a man’s world
This is a man’s world
But it would be nothing
Nothing without a woman to care

You see man made the cars
To take us over the world
Man made the train
To carry the heavy load
Man made the electro lights
To take us out of the dark
Man made the bullet for the war
Like Noah made the ark
This is a man’s man’s, man’s world
But it would be nothing
Nothing without a woman to care …[/James Brown]

Have a great day folks!

Nice song Dotty. Ok, so where’s all the other late nighters? I need some entertainment. I gotta stay awake folks.

Hey, Desdemona wasn’t stabbed with a knife!

I can’t believe I just caught that. My Brit Lit professor would be ashamed.

Apparently I’m secretly getting ready to work 3rd shift, even though that would be highly impractical in my actual job. Although I might get more done because I’d miss meetings and not be interrupted by anyone.

Still awake, swampy?

Two more cups of coffee and I’ll go tell him myself. :stuck_out_tongue:

Well, you got your OP up before I got myself up… so what do you expect? :stuck_out_tongue:

Up. At work. About to go get some caffeine. Otherwise, I got nuttin’ (hey, it’s barely 8 AM… it’s a wonder if this post doesn’t look drunk!)

But you aren’t ignoring me, are you?! :dubious:
Hey Dotty, I got no song tonight. I’ve been singing a real cool church song, but I’m not sure if you’re into that, so I won’t post it. I’m not Christian myself, so the words aren’t real meaningful to me in that context, but the tune is pretty cool.

And swampy, I got no puns either. But I’m doing my part to keep you up.

WAKE UP SWAMPY!!

I didn’t ignore any of your previous posts in this thread…

Which means I think I’ve earned the right to ignore this one. :smiley:

Oh, wait…

::breaking out the clothesline:: (I learned something from Dotty)

Be careful! (where’s the warning smilie?)

Luckily for you though, I’m just about to go to bed. So behave!
