Me with only a sole pun.

Frosty The Lucky.

Not so bad in the current scale of things---if you are not finished!

Try to sound a little deeper will ya?

Frosty The Lucky.

I do my worst thinking in the shower -- it's bath-y po' logic!

Looking for a bathyscathing review?

Frosty The Lucky.

I await my challenger, deep in thought.

That's abyssmal!

Frosty The Lucky.

Its all wish wash anyways.

One thing that stands out from the background here is that we needed to move away from the fish puns. I think it's a form of bass-relief.

As I understand it, the main point of repeatedly flattening, folding, and welding the tamahagane is make the carbon content consistent through the entire bar. With bloomery iron, the point is to consolidate the bloom into a single mass; the slag that remains within the bloom becomes the silica content that gives wrought iron its fiber-like grain.

Now that is something I did not know, thanks.

Why are you carping about fish puns, and meanwhile reeling them in? 

That would be a net gain.

What's that?  You'll have to speak up.  I'm a little hard of herring.

True, but there's a grouper two of us who can't seem to stop.

Been waiting for someone to queue the Monty Python Fish Slapping skit...

These puns are just gar-ish. I shadn't have started reading them in the first place
