LJDQ Log, Supplemental:

One of (I think) my more clever puns inexplicably missed the cut. It even passed the Spousal Wince Test. You decide: groanworthy or not?


2. Fun with lyrics! Easy, even! Name the band and the song:
"We gotta install microwave ovens
Custom kitchen deliveries
We gotta move these refrigerators
We gotta move these colour tvs"

My answer: "She's Buying Me Appliance", Thomas Dolby


Polls remain open until the Cubs win the Series.

On the plus side, I did get three quotes, and a lesser pun made the grade, so I am appeased. The ways of the mods, though, remain a mystery, still just beyond my understanding.

Wish I could tell you, but that looks to be a cultural reference I'm not familiar with. :(

I'm reasonably sure the pun is in "appliance" (a pliance? Bwuh?) (on second thought, does it have anything to do with "She's Blinding me With Science" or some such stuff?)

Grrr. I HATE when my language-fu collides with a barrier like that.

I'm still upset with you for dying on me after I suggested you will trade up when you begin channeling me. Hmmph.

(psst...this is the part where you send cookies and milk to make the bad feelings go 'way)

[germankitty]

Hey, I'll die whenever I want to! (And come back again and again to haunt you, mwahahaha!)

And, um, no cookies and milk, but will chocolate chocolate-chip muffins and nice coffee do? Or a lovely Devon Cream Tea with fresh scones, homemade strawberry jam and clotted cream do?

Still wondering what that pun is all about, though ...

"She's Blinded Me With Science" is the original song title, by Thomas Dolby. Oven-tually you would have gotten it. I think the mods have a small range of understanding when it comes to musical puns.

Your brain is working on the same wavelength as mine, in terms of catching puns. Be afraid. ;-)

Granted, the pun was a bit of a stretch, but if it passed the Spousal Wince Test, it didn't stretch unto snapping.

Well, they liked mine -- I punned off of "That's Amore", and got the Monet. ;-)

[i-calql8.livejournal.com]

So...you showed them the Monet? Monet did the talking? You took the Monet and ran? Of course, you would never have Monet to burn, right?

[germankitty]

Ah, so I -did- get it. (In contrast to this message. Curse you, LJ!)
