Thin Lizzy--thin thinking

: Pulls nose out of my Hansen and Quinn : I don’t think there’s a pluperfect subjunctive…

-Wolfian, killer of jokes

Cod damn you for spoiling our fun!

We shall not flounder! Don’t let that shrimp stop us! He can carp all he wants.

Abalone!

This chum can’t bait us anymore.

I’m herring you loud and clear, so don’t clam up on me.

All these puns are giving me a haddock.

Yeah, they are pretty crappie, aren’t they?

Clever punning is one of our morays.

Ah… shad up!
It was April the 41st, being a quadruple leap year…

There is, but in English it’s orthographically indistinguishable from the indicative. :stuck_out_tongue:

Latin, on the other hand, is perfectly :dubious: cool with pluperfect subjunctives, both active and passive, not that I can remember an example this long after my shaky O-level pass.

We now leave you to reel off some more fish puns.

Oh, yes, do! I’m perched on the edge of my seat.

Latin is cooler than English? I am sharked. Sharked, I tell you.

Is that trolling?

(That’s another pun, you fuckers!)

No need to get crabby.

Sorry. That was a fluke.

There was new poster named Lizzy
Whose posts put a mod in a tizzy
We had lots of fun
Making silly fish puns
I don’t think he’s coming back, is he?

Thats kind of funny, considering that I find this board of higher standards chock full of gasbag pundits who slam Bushistas and Repugs all day.

But the key element is that such pundits don’t go unchallenged. If one’s Bush-bashing becomes too repetitive or ridiculous, one can expect to receive general ridicule or even moderator action. Compare that to other boards where scapegoating is routine and universally supported, i.e. where a thread about “damn lib’ruls” or “Bush is a moron” will invite nothing but cheers of support and anyone who challenges the mob with a few unpopular counter-arguments will be insulted and/or banned.

Social morays?

sings
When you swim in the creek
And an eel bites your cheek
That’s a moray…

Well, regardless of the political viewpoint, I’ll take gasbag punditry over the idiot one-liners of Slender Elizabeth any day.
