Everyone who wishes to enter a pun shall reply to this thread, leaving their best play on words. Three days from now (which, for me, will be June eleventh) I will signal an end to the entries, and a start to the voting. Everyone who wants to vote for the best pun will comment beneath their favorite. You may only vote once! The pun with the most votes wins..ah..er..bragging rights?

If anyone is opposed to this I'm quite fine with just letting it die. But if no one is- let the games begin!

I propose a pun contest. by Alleb on 2015-06-08 12:41:00 UTC

I'f I'm gonna throw my lot in this thing... by SkarmorySilver on 2015-06-09 14:21:00 UTC Reply

...I might as well have it delivered via Allosaurus Express. That is, it will be sealed in an envelope made from cycad leaves and tied to the ankle of a carnosaur, which will in turn be led to wherever the pun contest is being held.

Will it work?

You bet Jurassic can.

A paleontologically-accurate pun? by Huinesoron on 2015-06-09 14:35:00 UTC Reply

You must've boned up on the subject. It's amazing what you can do if you're willing to really dig in.

No bones about it! by SkarmorySilver on 2015-06-09 17:45:00 UTC Reply

I was going to use the Tyrannosaurus Express, but I wasn't sure how to use a Cretaceous pun.

Ah, well. You can, uh, chalk it up to me wanting a more recognizable term!

(Get it? No? Fine. To explain: The Cretaceous period is derived from the Latin "creta", or chalk, referring to the extensive beds of calcium carbonate deposited by the shells of marine invertebrates found in the upper Cretaceous of western Europe.)

That was pretty tenuous. by Huinesoron on 2015-06-10 09:03:00 UTC Reply

You should be tarred and ~~feathered~~ ~~not feathered~~ ~~feathered~~ ~~not feathered!~~ ~~feathers are realistic!~~ ~~feathers aren't cool!~~ ~~eagles shouldn't be plucked!~~ ~~tyrannosaurs shouldn't be fluffy!~~ given bat-like wings.

I find it hard to make up puns on the fly... by Baroom on 2015-06-09 10:04:00 UTC Reply

Oh, well. Guess I should check the rest of the posts here in case I overpun my joke budget. XD

... Wait, was that another pun? by Neshomeh on 2015-06-08 17:23:00 UTC Reply

'Cuz I don't think "bastard" violates the PG-13 rating. Being a neat-freak will get you no soap from me. ^_~

I wasn't sure which was correct; I see that my guess is washed-up.

A mistake like that won't tarnish your reputation. (nm) by Sergio Turbo on 2015-06-09 16:04:00 UTC Reply

But, seriously though, sorry about that :)
