it's a natalie imbroglio!

need more puns for pub quiz team names. come on, ilx.

Quiz Team Aguilera is a popular one

yeah, i've heard other quiz teams with that name a few times now. don't have to be quiz-centric, btw. any ole pun will do.

Universally Challenged... I'm sure I've heard that one too

Small Mediums At Large... made me chuckle a bit

it's shit but... Chief Kegwin

Talking of puns I've always wanted to use, I nearly found a Sudanese context for "Khartoum Network" this week, when the Egypt v Algeria match was played there. I was able to call it a Sudan death play-off, though.

Egyptians Copt it in that match

Small Mediums At Large... made me chuckle a bit
This is the punchline of one of my favorite jokes ever.

Khartoum Network

omg

Original concept of thread somewhat hard to understand. I don't see anybody stockpiling their puns, instead using them at every available opportunity.

Then there's the headline to the story about former Labour Party leader, Michael Foot being appointed to chair a committee to look into the sales of munitions:

FOOT HEADS ARMS BODY

... apropos of nothing, I just like it, whether apocryphal or not

oedipaul ross complex

the desperate puns

My bro has long harboured a wish to write the build up for a joke that has the punchline "but it's the counts that thought". Would require some kind of vampire/dracula related preamble I guess.

ending it on thought makes it a tricky proposition

phonetically adding 'eh/A' maybe?

something about tracing a hand ball

I have a similar scenario in mind that would feature the line "the mummy was resting in my account", I think it would be set in a haunted Egyptian bank

Yeah, setting is key with these heroes-of-horror puns. I figured that mine could be in Frankenstein's Castle on Christmas Day, attendees include Dracula (+ "other" vampiric noblemen), The Wolfman etc. Would need to involve some mix up with the presents.

Like all great comedy/puns, the more time it takes to explain the funnier it is...

Yesterday, I bought an electric screw driver, there's nothing like a good bit of screwing, it's just over so quickly, and then there's nothing to screw again for a while.

I keep wanting any poster whose name starts with L to do something dumb so I can say "damn, that's nagl, i'm ngl, gl with that, l"

actually I just realized I could just have gone with calling the poster "g" instead

I must be really impatient if I'm not willing to wait for someone to do something dumb on ILX

"when you assassinate, you make two asses out of I and Nate."

"IMHO, Tep, the pyramids are a bit overrated..."

azazel enCRYPTion

...more in Seurat than in Inges.

(Stolen from Brian O'Nolan (aka Flann O'Brien)).

oops... Ingres.

This relies on ilx having a russian poster with an expressed enthusiasm for the SB button. I don't think such a person exists, but if they did then I would relish the chance to follow their latest pro SB tirade with the two word post:

Uncle Banya

I wouldn't say I'm desperate, but: "Arraignment Day Women #12 & 35."

And I mean this from the heart of my bottom
