puns that you had missed

Also, it's about a blonde who studies law, so the title also has a nice double meaning.

oh shit

i just got it

legally .... BLONDE

that's brilliant

Luckily the anti-blonde legislation was repealed here in jolly old Britain after WWI, so a good few generations now have not lived under the yoke of low eumelanin oppression. Although it might have been interesting to have had Bleacheasies like the US

i think what you're all missing is the reese witherspoon character specialised in representing victims of lower limb injuries, so she was actually a leg ally who also happened to be blonde

It also had a sequel which didn't involve law at all, so the title has a nice double meaning.

"The Crystal Method"

You just don't get things when you're a kid

Hope Grand Funk Railroad wasn't punning on anything

grand funk railroad is what they call soul train in france

Gravity's Rainbow = GR = General Relativity?

Although maybe this isn't really I pun and I might have been told it before so I didn't really miss it.

Yeah, don't know about that. But GR was the second book Pynchon started after V, and it's about V2's.

No, it's a real scientific term. Here's an explanation from a surprising source:

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2521901/Forget-Big-Bang--Rainbow-Gravity-theory-suggests-universe-NO-beginning-stretches-infinitely.html

And also, of course, the projectory of the V2 is a parabola like a rainbow because of gravity. Plus rainbows actually aren't parabolas but circles, except we can't see half of it, indicating the counter-story half of the book, the importance of subjectivity, and how Werner von Braun went from sending rockets in parabolas to sending them into circuit.

Got really surprised when I saw half of a rainbow last year, so in fact it was just a quarter of one then?
So maybe it makes up for it if I have seen several double rainbows.

That is to say I saw half a parabola because of where the rain was falling, I hadn't seen that happen before. Is it a regular thing?
But then I hadn't seen really localised rain until I moved to ireland as far as I recall. that is to say raining at one end of a street and not at the other.
This rainbow must have meant rain on one side/direction of a motorway visible on my way to the bus stop and not on the other.

none of these are puns

what do you call a quarter of an electronic rainbow?

e-bola (or e-para)

none of these are puns

these are all puns, we just haven't got them yet

the web series 'high maintenance'

The name "Paul Bearer" is a play on the term pall-bearer.

:0

ok, so i realised that (popular beat combo) Nosaj Thing is a pun on No Such Thing. but it was only last night that i realised it's jasoN backwards.

bola - soup

they didn't stop there though...

"Pulled Pork"

Dean Gulberry

Kurt Vile = Kurt Weill

Oh wait, that's apparently his birth name. nm.

(pulled pork not a pun, obv. more of a euphemism for masturbation that people have snuck onto every menu in the land, somehow)

wait'll you figure out "Nocturn Alley"

Diagon Alley - my 7 year old got that one before I did.

And wait till you go on the Nocturn Alley Mission.

OMG, Buckcherry. Always wondered what their stupid name was supposed to mean.

Haha, yeah that one was slow dawning on me too.

Ah, but surely that's a Spoonerism, not a pun!

If one of their singles had been called "Label: Mean", I would've gotten it in a heartbeat.

Tim Buckley, or as I prefer to call him Bum Tickley

woah hang on just occurred to me:

is the 80s pornstar screenname Amber Lynn a pun/homophone on that of the second wife of Henry VIII?

the movie title free willy is a pun made from free will.

Just caught sight of a book on free will and made this connection for the first time. Or maybe I did see it two years ago upthread but it somehow refused to permanently flick switch in my brain.

Ceefax

Sandie Shaw

I saw the back car window sign 'Baby In Car' one day and became convinced that the 80s Manchester garage Birthday Party a likes Inca Babies was taken from it since it presumably is a sign with some proliferation.
One member's since denied it but I'm not 100% convinced.

What's the pun in Ceefax?

Well not a pun exactly since ceefax isn't a word, but I never got that it's supposed to be a rendering of "see facts"

Not a pun but I've only just noticed Duke of Wellington / Duke Ellington, is this just a coincidence?

Gaming site kotaku is a pun on cockatoo and otaku

(Perhaps)
