Let the pun-nishment begin.

You dogs can't be serius about this, can ewe? The hole concept makes me feel sheepish... as if I were waking from a baaaaad dream, where counting sheep, instead of making me tired, wooled make me frisky instead.

But I digress... it's my turn in the barrel.

Well done, Greg !

Reminds me of the Idaho sheep rancher that "herd" that if he played soft music over his barnyard PA system, that it would soothe, relax, and thus improve production amongst the herd.

He chose his favourite Frank Sinatra album to play for the sheep, but the next morning, he found his prize-winning stud ram dead of a heart attack in the corral near where he had soft music playing. He solved the mysterious death when he noticed that the second track was Frank softly singing one of his trademark tunes, "There'll Never Be Another Ewe".

Here's a tidbit of information for you....

The old question of "Do sheep shrink when they get wet?" has been answered.

I asked a sheep farmer.

He said "Yes". Their wool actually gets "tight" on their skin when they're wet. <LOL>

Another useless piece of trivia for ewe!

All this talk of sheep reminds me of a place I onced lived.

....where the men are men

and the sheep are nervous.

Well, I thought this thread was for nominations rather than auditions ... but I don't want to Ram my opinions down anyones throat, nor to blow my own horn.
I think we may all be trying to pull the wool over the judges eyes. Having said that I think I'd better "go on the Lamb" and get the flock outta here.

[Cheers]

 

[SantaMufasa]

Ouch...So far, Cor is in the lead in my book.

jebensen ...
Oh sure, pull the plank out from under us ... throw a right hook into the thread with the Parrot thing. Now we don't have a _wooden leg to stand on and the thread will not be a _eye patch on its former self.

I was slighty SHEEPISH to post following this FLOCK of Punsters. I feel like such a LAMB compared to the rest of EWE, I wasn't sure WETHER I could even compete. WOOL not much left to say, except to point out the fact I'm unBLEATable.

Wow, I'm having amnesia and deja vu at the same time.
I think I've forgotten this before.

 

[flapeyre]

So, where does a sheep go to get sheared?

[Stella740pl]

Can I make a suggestion?

Instead of people nominating themselves right here, in this thread, by making strained puns, can we do it a different way?

Other people can nominate a pun made by someone else in other threads - on topic, not on purpose. Just give a link to the thread, name of the person, and date/time of the post.

I thought it was the intended way - was I wrong?

 

[CorBlimeyLimey]

I'll second that suggestion.

That's the way I thought it was supposed to run also (see my first post). This way is fun, but somewhat strained as you pointed out. The best puns come from changing topics, on-the-fly.

[Cheers]

 

[CorBlimeyLimey]

So Cajun, feel free to delete all above threads with imPUNity.

Aaarrgh ... make the bad man stop.

[Cheers]

 

[CajunCenturion]

These are some great stories.

==? CajunCenturion - You have only yourself to blame for this!!!!
Uh ... Thank You?

Stella740pl - Good suggestion.

I agree, speaking as an unreconstructed/subconscious/giddy punster.

Pun-wise, I've always let loose upon TT a deranged, derailed "free train of thought" without consideration of acknowledgment; the notion that one person might chuckle (or even get it) was pleasing enough.

My fear is that official recognition will lead to a distracting focus on forced/quoted puns, rather than us just being ourselves among friends.

Some of us are naturally goofy; many others have that most amazing trait - they are gifted technically, and yet still entertain the rest of us with their wit (not to exclude, but Santa and Higgins come to mind).
