I already love that dog.

The only thing I don't like about service dogs is not being able to pet them when they're on duty.

mdom: Way to work the new items. What is the leafy bit on your waist?

Rainbowitch!
It's from an anka egg, it's called Featherbrain

Thanks. I must need to take a closer look through that list again.

Intergalactic rainbowitch? I like your expression, too.

Too many items, too little time.

I didn't want to go the stereotypical big nose witch. or sexy witch.

What about a sand witch?

That would be you, the punny one

I should come up with a good or bad pun for a Halloween costume next time.

All good puns are inherently bad

Truer words have never spoken. But what about the first pun?

What first pun?

Maybe the first pun someone made was good because it was new, and so not bad. But all the ones after that were bad.

Hm, so new things are inherently good? xD Or they just seem good because of the novelty spark?

Probably because of the novelty? We could probably start our own podcast chronicling our exciting journey of finding who made the first pun. Was it a father? Find out next week.

It'd be a great hour of me facepalming (or rather UGHHH very loud) because of your good/bad puns.

It'd be an interesting history lesson though.

Remember Benjamin Franklin's quote as he signed the declaration of independence. "We must all hang together or assuredly we shall all hang separately."

Or the classic line from William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, where Mercutio ends up deadly wounded by a stab in the chest and remarks "Ask for me tomorrow, and you shall find me a grave man."

Go back even further and you find a hidden gem in ancient Rome. The apocolocyntosis (roughly transformation into a pumpkin) parodies common apotheosis texts where deceased of great virtue are glorified in literature. In the satiric text, dying emperor Claudius is cited to utter "woe is me, I think I have shat myself" with his dying breath, and the next line the author Seneca continues all snarky "If he did it, I don't know - but I can attest he never gave a shit about his people" (even more accurately translated: he screwed them all over, he soiled everything he touched. concacare is versatile like that)

Even the bible is full of puns, but most of them tend to get lost in the translation. "And he said, The kingdom of God is as if a man (adam) should scatter (zara) seed (zera) on the ground (adama). - Mark 4:26"

I'd say it's pundamental knowledge, but...
